Psychonaut

PSYCHONAUT is a psychedelic post-metal collective from Mechelen, Belgium. Even though the band only consists of a traditional three-piece line-up, they are known to deliver a constantly compelling live show that grabs you by the throat from the first second to the last. Raw, convincing and designed to create a perpetually fascinating experience. Their long awaited sophomore album "VIOLATE CONSENSUS REALITY" is finally out on Pelagic Records. "This album engages the senses in a way that is quite rare for concept albums, it is raw and brutal, unlike the lofty concept albums of yore with their endlessly repeating motifs and needlessly complex song structures. It stands in a long tradition of activism in music, but it also deconstructs this tradition by taking its loud and admonishing tone and providing it with a thoughtful base rooted in philosophy and spirituality." - Robert Westerveld. PSYCHONAUT has just presented this album live in a sold out Ancienne Belgique. They have played big open air festivals like Alcatraz, Rock Herk and Boomtown Festival and boutique festivals like Soulcrusher, Roadburn Redux or A Colossal Weekend. The band has supported bands like Amenra or Brutus and they just concluded a European tour with Pelagic label mates The Ocean and pg.lost.
