Psykosis’ Mind Games

Irish thrash titans Psykosis return, louder and more unhinged than ever with the announcement of their long-anticipated second album, Mind Games, that will drop independently on 1^st May 1st. A riotous celebration of the album’s release will take place at The Grand Social in Dublin on Saturday, 10^th May, with a stacked line-up of Irish metal’s most ferocious names.

Following their 2016 cult debut Welcome To The Psyko Ward, Psykosis has spent the better part of a decade honing their craft both on and off stage. From tearing up clubs and festival stages across Europe – Iincluding a savage showing at Bloodstock Open Air – to sharing bills with some of metal’s most revered names, the Dublin quartet has carved out a reputation for delivering the kind of chaos that leaves crowds sweat-soaked and grinning.

Now, Mind Games signals the band’s long-awaited return to recorded carnage. Clocking in at eight bone-rattling tracks, the album is a white-knuckle ride through breakneck speed, snarling vocals, and groove-heavy riff worship. The first single, ‘Boiling Point’, has already ignited a firestorm among fans—offering a taste of what’s to come: raw, relentless, and unmistakably Psykosis.

The official launch show at The Grand Social is shaping up to be an unmissable night for fans of Irish metal. Joining Psykosis on stage will be: Acid Age – The Belfast-based war jazz trio who’ve recently dropped one of the most blistering albums to come out of the Irish scene in years. Expect mayhem; AeSect – One of Ireland’s tightest modern metal units, known for their crushing technicality and intensity; and Two Tales of Woe – Dublin’s doom-laden groove merchants, bringing the sludge, the riffs, and the weight.
