CHESTCRUSH emerges from the abyss with their highly anticipated sophomore album, ΨΥΧΟΒΓΑΛΤΗΣ. A Greek term that literally translates to 'Soul Extractor’, and is metaphorically used to describe a person or experience that torments you so deeply it feels as though it pulls the very essence of your being out of your mouth, chocking you in your own toxic vomit of repressed trauma and suppressed hatred.
This album promises to be their most intense, punishing, and obliterating yet. A deep dive into a boiling, corrosive magma of darkness and negativity. Its lyrical themes navigate a nightmarish realm of anti-religious sentiment, nihilism, misanthropy, and a fierce critique of social and political norms that plague modern society. The band’s sonic assault is anchored by unhinged, yet communicative, vocals that guide listeners through a labyrinth of degradation and decay.
With its complex construction, the album explores the absolute limits of brutality, merging the desolate soundscapes of Black Metal with the merciless rhythms of Death Metal, while infusing layers of post-metal influences. The result is a dense tapestry of horrific melodies and oppressive psalms that resonate with listeners in an almost cathartic manner.
Prepare yourself as CHESTCRUSH unveils ΨΥΧΟΒΓΑΛΤΗΣ—a visceral, emotive journey that serves as one of the most formidable artistic statements in extreme music this year. The tracks are both abrasive and suffocating, leading to a terminal experience that mirrors the darkest corners of the human psyche, designed to illuminate the bleak truths and often ignored stark realities of our existence.
Dive into the chaos. Face the horror. Embrace the suffering. Welcome to the world of CHESTCRUSH.
