"Chicago, March 8th – Today, extreme metal fans brace themselves for a brutal journey as PSITHURISM, the progressive breakdown kings, announce the release of their two-part concept album, "Hollow Stars & A Dead Sun." Under the watchful eye of engineer Adrian Kobziar, the thunderous beats of Caleb Hill’s drum kit resonated throughout Ohmstead Studio, laying the foundation for "Hollow Stars & A Dead Sun." Kobziar, known for his expertise in capturing the raw energy of hardcore & doom metal, collaborated closely with PSITHURISM to ensure each drumbeat echoed with consequence. The result is an authentic and honest performance.
Guitarists Mike Kidd and Daanish Rizwan took the helm in the production, mixing and mastering stages, weaving together eery layers of brood and noise. Their synergy captures the essence of PSITHURISM’s vision. From punishing riffs to ethereal synths, each note in "Hollow Stars & A Dead Sun" is a testament to the duo's dedication to their craft.
United by a shared passion for horror sci-fi, PSITHURISM embarked on a creative journey fueled by the atmospheric elements of iconic horror classics. Vocalist Shawn Mills, with his signature guttarals and shrieks, imbued the album with haunting melodies and eerie undertones that echo themes of despair, dehumanization, terror, and grief. This inspiration became the cornerstone of their creative process."
