Australian technical death metal band Psycroptic‘s ninth studio album, “The Pulse Of Annihilation“, has just been announced for a July 17th, 2026 release. This new effort will see the Tasmanian outfit aligned with Metal Blade Records after a lengthy run with Prosthetic Records. It has just been preceded by the lead single, “Gathering A Venomous Herd“, which has been complemented by a Robert Brens-directed music video.
The band’s own guitarist Joseph Haley took on the production duties for this new record at his Crawlspace Productions studio. He had the following to say about how the album turned out:
“‘The Pulse Of Annihilation‘ is pretty much the culmination of everything that has come before. As with past releases, we never force anything stylistically and just let the songs manifest of their own accord – maintaining progression while remaining very much Psycroptic. Because of this, I feel this is our most epic, thrashing, technical while grooviest release yet.”
