PSYCHIC DEATH
Atlanta’s Psychic Death straddle death rock, post-punk and darkwave, although they’re a bit too upbeat to be considered goth. Live, they are tight, terse and thrumming with an intensity that feels explosive. On record they sound like Joy Division and Rozz Williams-era Christian Death squaring up for a knife fight under a full moon. Jangle guitars, new wave synths, and blown-out reverb rattle your skull enough to loosen your fillings
