PSYCROPTIC: INTERVIEWED BY INTO THE NECROSPHERE

May be an image of text

JASIN PEPPIATT of Tasmania, Australia technical death metal warriors PSYCROPTIC was recently interviewed by INTO THE NECROSPHERE ...

PSYCROPTIC, via BANDCAMP, are streaming the bands anticipated new release "THE PULSE OF ANNIHILATION", unleashed 7/17/2026 via METAL BLADE RECORDS.

PSYCROPTIC have posted a video for "ASHES OF A NEW DAWN" , a track from the bands anticipated new release "THE PULSE OF ANNIHILATION", unleashed 7/17/2026 via METAL BLADE RECORDS.

PSYCROPTIC have posted a video for "ARCHITECTS OF EXTINCTION", a stand alone single, unleashed 5/28/2025 via METAL BLADE RECORDS.

PSYCROPTIC unleashed "DIVINE COUNCIL", 8/5/2022 via PROSTHETIC RECORDS.

PSYCROPTIC unleashed the bands anticipated new EP release "THE WATCHER OF ALL", 11/27/2020 via AGONIA RECORDS.

FROM INTO THE NECROSPHERE:

This week on Into The Necrosphere, I'm joined by Psycroptic frontman Jason Peppiatt to discuss the band's crushing new album, The Pulse of Annihilation, and the remarkable journey that brought him to one of extreme metal's most respected acts.

Jason reflects on his early days as a fan of the band, how the opportunity to join Psycroptic came about, and what it was like stepping into the shoes of a long-established vocalist before helping ushering in the band's next chapter. From there, we dive into why so much modern metal has lost its humanity, the unintended consequences of click tracks and digital recording, and why the best extreme metal still needs a little danger and imperfection.

We also reminisce about discovering death metal through the legendary Nuclear Blast "Death Is Just The Beginning" series, the surreal experience of eventually sharing stages - and beers - with heroes like Dismember and Cannibal Corpse, memorable touring stories, and what it takes for a band to remain relevant more than two decades into their career.

Then, Nathan Glover of Graveir joins me for another instalment of the Weekly News Rant as we round up the latest singles from Veilburner, Firtan, Februus, Hesperia, End of Green and more. A demented campaign against a local metal institution earns the Swirly of the Week, while Ohio blackened death industrialists Preliminus bask in the glory of the Unsanctioned Filth spotlight.

Episode 325 is out now on all digital platforms.

DREADNOUGHT: SET TO UNLEASH "WARS OF SPIRIT WARDS OF LIGHT", POST VIDEO FOR NEW TRACK "THE ARCHIVE"

May be an image of ‎text that says '‎VESPERIAN -ובטבסמסטגף ートエ人々じ A DREADNOUGHT NEW NEW SINGLE VIDEO "The Archive" TAKEN FROM "Wars Of FORTHCOMING Spirit // ALBUM Wards Of Light"‎'‎

Colorado, U.S.A. based extreme metal warriors DREADNOUGHT have posted a video for "THE ARCHIVE", a track from the bands anticipated new release "WARS OF SPIRIT WARDS OF LIGHT", due to be unleashed later in 2026 (release date T.B.A.) via VESPERIAN RECORDS..

FROM VESPERIAN RECORDS:

Dreadnought are back. The Colorado outfit — one of heavy music's best kept secrets and most singular voices — release their new single "The Archive" today, accompanied by a music video that matches the band's ambition shot for shot: atmospheric, cinematic, and of the highest quality.

"The Archive" is taken from Wars of Spirit // Wards Of Light, DREADNOUGHT's forthcoming album on Vesperian and the most clearly defined, most reinvented chapter of their career to date. Bending and re-coding the worlds of heavy music, the record pulls the listener through chaos, purity, and power — synthesizers and electronic elements woven seamlessly into a songwriting style more direct and engaging than ever, elevated by the masterful production of Julius Mauranen (Oranssi Pazuzu). The band themselves call it "World Building Metal Etherea," and after hearing "The Archive," it's hard to argue with that.

Beautiful, adventurous, and with real teeth — Wars of Spirit // Wards Of Light is coming soon on Vesperian. Watch the video for "The Archive" now on YouTube

BTW, ITP TEXT is CREATIVE COMMONS and you might look silly as I have bit of black list in the music industry and beyond. A couple of issues I would like to address: ITP DOES NOT like PSYCHOTIC people following ITP, you're under arrest, I will sue you. ITP does not promote local and regional artists/bands and music venues whom have screwed me over, don't reciprocate or bands, labels, venues I don't like. It is NOT ITP's responsibility for promoting your venue, club or crap band or show, DIY and promote your self, If I don't promote you or your band are awful, the music is awful. ITP only promotes what SHE likes, go play in your own sandbox. I don't promote local or regional bands or/and venues just because they are local, nor do I ignore bands and venues from out of state and out of the U.S. . ITP does not promote main stream music nor mall core..Only extreme metal.. There are a couple of labels that are blacklisted, one that is national socialist. A few bands are blacklisted from ITP, and one or two venues. Obviously is someone gets in fight over ITP there will be consequences, NOT YOURS, ITP owns her own copy right. ITP is not a request journal, it is an extreme metal source for extreme metal news, no hipsters, ITP is my journal. ITP, while a media partner for most labels,does not write for nor work for record labels and is independent of record labels. ITP is not owned by a record label. BTW, regarding monetize for adverts, ITP does not normally do adverts and has not committed to monetize, although I'll look into it, depending on timing and circumstances. Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal and welcome to ITP \m/ -l- ***To experience ITP at it's fullest capabilities you'll need a good browser (MOZILLA FIREFOX or SAFARI) and a fast MODEM/CONNECTION (CABLE or WI FI) to enjoy the videos and a good set of HEADPHONES or/and speakers to enjoy the SOUND and brutality.
