Technical death metal juggernauts PSYCROPTIC have unveiled a new single, "No Blade Of Grass." The track is lifted from the Tasmanian outfit's impending new full-length — and first for METAL BLADE RECORDS — "The Pulse Of Annihilation," set for release on July 17.
Across "The Pulse Of Annihilation," PSYCROPTIC sound focused, disciplined and fully aware of their trajectory. Complexity remains foundational, but it is now guided by compositional restraint and veteran confidence. With this release, the band reaffirm their status not merely as technical death metal stalwarts, but as architects actively shaping the genre's future — proof that mastery, sharpened by time, only grows more lethal.
The album features cover art by Belial Necroarts (GAEREA, IN AETERNUM) and will be available on digipak CD and digital formats, as well as vinyl in a range of color variants: World Ablaze (Tiger's Eye) and Sleepy Hollow (Radioactive Dust) for the US, plus 180g Black (EU, ltd. 500), Barren Waste (Swamp Green Gold Melt) (EU, ltd. 250) and Fires Of Time (Gold Black Splatter) (EU, ltd. 250).
The full tracklist runs: "Ashes Of A New Dawn," "Gathering A Venomous Herd," "A Sword Of Me," "No Time For The Weak," "Our Pillars Fall," "Annihilation Pulse," "No Blade Of Grass," "To Embrace This Curse" and "Forging The Crown."
