Official re-issue of DARK PSYCHOSIS debut album with 5 bonus Demo tracks!
Lead by 30+ year scene veteran Xaphan, best known as the singer/guitarist/songwriter from both Legendary Michigan bands SUMMON and MASOCHIST, DARK PSYCHOSIS creates a genre-bending new sound. DARK PSYCHOSIS seamlessly fuses elements from indie rock, psychedelia, classic heavy metal, darkwave, post-punk, thrash and, of course, black metal. Joy Division sacrificed by Slayer, Pink Floyd mutilated by Bathory… make whatever abstract comparisons you wish – DARK PSYCHOSIS have crafted and perfected a unique sound all their own.
“Obsessed By Shadows” is the bands long out of print debut album, originally released in 2005. This thrashing classic is now officially reissued as a limited edition digipak, including 5 Bonus Tracks from the “Profane Hallucinations” demo 2000, not on the original release! From the MASOCHIST / SUMMON styled metal classic title track “Obsessed By Shadows”, to eerie atmospheric tracks like “Lostlessness”, and old-school ripping Thrash head-bangers like “Rebel Of Fallen Angels”, this album has a little bit of everything for lovers of Heavy Metal! Join DARK PSYCHOSIS and let your obsession begin!
