Exclusive: Psycroptic Take “The Prophet’s Council” in New Video
Australian death metal mainstays Psycroptic are riding high off the release of their eighth studio album, Divine Council, and are armed with a new video for “The Prophet’s Council,” streaming below.
The visual for “The Prophet’s Council” is a live performance video, capturing what American audiences will get over the next two months when the Tasmanians tour with US tech death road warriors Cognitive. The song, meanwhile, shows the best of what Psycroptic do: a little technical guitar playing, a little experimentation and melody, and a few mosh riffs for good measure.
Psycroptic are an impressive beast of a band; there are precious few acts that have been running since before 2000 who are still putting out vital new releases that push their sounds in new directions. The Australian death dealers and their new album (available now) are one of those bands.
