Danish metalcore monsters The Psyke Project report that they will be going back to Antfarm Studios in November with Tue Madsen to work on the follow-up to last year's brilliant record "Daikini". Speaking of which, "Daikini" was just released in Norway via Indiedist in cooperation with Cph-Sound and is getting more rave reviews.

The video for "45 tears" from brutal Danish metalcore act The Psyke Project is now up on myspace: http://www.myspace.com/kaiserkyhl

Video mix: A-ha, A Camp, Fidget, Vapnet, The Psyke Project, Timbuktu, more...

The Psyke Project's most recent album "Daikini", one of my most favorite albums from last year and probably one of the most crushing metalcore albums ever, will be getting a UK release this coming August. Details soon.

I haven't heard all of the bands, but I can definitely endorse The Psyke Project. Their album "Daikini" is easily one of the year's best releases.

Seriously, one of the year's best albums. Definitely the one record I've listened to the most so far.

I can't believe it's September already! It's ridiculous how fast time flies. Anyhow, September's album of the month is "Daikini", the latest from Denmark's The Psyke Project. I'm gonna keep shouting about it until everyone listens: this is some of the best brutal hardcore I've ever heard. It's not some tough-guy bullshit either, this is powerful music made by passionate people.

Tons of new stuff added to mailorder department, including both albums from Danish hardcore act The Psyke Project and a huge selection of If Society's recent releases including records from Viola, Frivolvol, Echo Is Your Love, Fun and more. Start shopping!

If you like heavy music, you better not miss out on this record. Already one of 2005's best releases. I've also added a number of mp3s to the store, should you want to try before you buy.

Top fives: 2005 so far

I wasn't all that impressed the first time I heard The Psyke Project. I thought their first album was a clumsy almagation of somewhat decent riffs, but lacking the kind of big-picture thinking to take them to the next level. Not to mention, I'm generally averse to bands playing their style of brutal metalcore considering all the macho bullshit posturing that's usually associated with it. Thankfully, all that has changed with the new record "Daikini". The band has totally streamlined their sound and songwriting, eschewing all the overly-busy playing that was bogging them down and in process, creating the best heavy album I've heard this year. The song I've posted from them today shows the band at their slowest and most brutal. As I said above, I'm not usually so into chugga-chugga hardcore, but there is no way I deny how awesome this is. I'm especially thankful they don't try to pull any clean vocal parts. It's so unnecessary, but yet so many bands do it even though it almost always drags down the song. If you want to be metal, why mess around? Just go all out darnit. TPP knows what's up. Very recommended - this CD has been on constant rotation for me ever since I got it in the mail two weeks ago.
