News : Psycroptic reveal artwork for “The Inherited Repression”

By on December 8, 2011

There are undoubtedly quite a few of you that are counting down the days until The Inherited Repression, the fifth studio album from Tassie’s Psycroptic, hits stores in early February next year. The album, which was produced, engineered and mixed by Dave Haley himself, and mastered by Alan Douches, is due out on Feb 7th in North American and Feb 10th in Europe, through Nuclear Blast Records.

If you missed the announcement, here are a few words from guitarist Joe Haley, the track listing, and right down the bottom is the newly revealed artwork.

Commented Psycroptic guitarist, Joe Haley, “The Inherited Repression is far and away my favorite Psycroptic album thus far – all of us in the band think this. It’s the age-old cliché from bands when they talk about their current album as being the best of their career, blah, blah, but I have to say it because it’s true. We wouldn’t think there is a point of going on if we couldn’t outdo each album prior. We are certainly not playing music for anything else than the love of creating it and performing it.

 “The Inherited Repression is quite different from anything we have done in terms of song writing and structure, and we spent a lot longer writing and demoing the songs before we recorded it, which you can tell. It’s a very dynamic album – the fast elements faster, the slow elements slower, and a lot of light and dark binding it together. It’s a very catchy album as well – you can tap your foot, bang your head or anything else you want. Basically it has a lot of groove on it from start to finish.”

Track listing:
1. Carriers of the Plague
2. Forward to Submission
3. Euphorinasia
4. The Throne of Kings
5. Unmasking the Traitors
6. Become the Cult
7. From Scribe to Ashes
