TIMELESS CRUSIFIX"Psicosis was created in Venezuela in 1999 as first born project of Mick Demon and Alex Warlock after the split of their former band called Catastrofe, they changed the style they practiced as Catastrofe they was basically black metal with keyboards and they started to explore their death metal side, adding melodiesand harmonies but keeping their raw and wild sound.They recruited their lead guitarist Leonardo Valiente (also ex Catastrofe) for their style changing purposes, then they opened auditions to find the right man behind the bass guitar, after 6months and 12 bass player candidatesthey recruited Johnny Zerpa as the official fourth member. After months of hard work these 4 characters find their essence as a band and they become obsessed with their project and now its their true passion.Their influences rank among the old school stuff made by bands like Emperor, Morbid Angel, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden and many others like the NWOBHM bands and thrash metal bands.Their first mcd was recorded and self produced at their home studio between March and July 2002 and it is entitled "Trail of Sculptures".
