I wasn't all that impressed the first time I heard The Psyke Project. I thought their first album was a clumsy almagation of somewhat decent riffs, but lacking the kind of big-picture thinking to take them to the next level. Not to mention, I'm generally averse to bands playing their style of brutal metalcore considering all the macho bullshit posturing that's usually associated with it. Thankfully, all that has changed with the new record "Daikini". The band has totally streamlined their sound and songwriting, eschewing all the overly-busy playing that was bogging them down and in process, creating the best heavy album I've heard this year. The song I've posted from them today shows the band at their slowest and most brutal. As I said above, I'm not usually so into chugga-chugga hardcore, but there is no way I deny how awesome this is. I'm especially thankful they don't try to pull any clean vocal parts. It's so unnecessary, but yet so many bands do it even though it almost always drags down the song. If you want to be metal, why mess around? Just go all out darnit. TPP knows what's up. Very recommended - this CD has been on constant rotation for me ever since I got it in the mail two weeks ago.
