Psycroptic will be hitting the road with Aborted and a whole slew of other bands come this May, and are currently about to do a mini-Australian tour with Cattle Decapitation. Despite all these obligations, Psycroptic is also wrapping up recording their first new album in three years. The band has issued a statement saying they've been recording the album in guitarist Joe Haley's Crawl Space Studios, and that it's "a mix of all our albums, plus some newer and darker sounding elements thrown in."
It also helps that Psycroptic are a bunch of mutant musicians who I'm near positive can play just about anything.
"We've been hard at work recording the new album over the past 8 months, in our guitarist Joe Haley's Crawl Space studios. We are getting close to completing it, and it’s turning out really cool. I think it’s our best album by far. It sounds like a mix of all our albums, plus some newer and darker sounding elements thrown in. Artwork is complete, and looks insane. We'll unveil that in good time…Because we aren’t the smartest people, we've still been scheduling tours and shows around the recording – we head out today in Australia with Cattle Decapitation, and have New Zealand, more Australian shows, Iceland and North America all coming up in the next few months. But we will get the album finished in the next few weeks…."
