Biography
PSALM is an extreme metal band hailing from Brussels, Belgium. A powerful mix between a solid black metal basis and some death metal and thrash/power metal elements propels them at the forefront of the Belgian extreme metal scene. Their overall original and modern approach draws them close to such bands as Keep Of Kalessin and Behemoth, while maintaining their very own characteristics.
The band started out in early 2004 but was only completed at the end of that year. Psalm soon decided to record a first and self-titled E.P., which came out around January/February 2005. The band also began playing shows wherever they could to spread the word out. During July 2005, a video was shot for track “Butterfly Suicideâ€. Early 2006, PSALM had enough material to record their first album, and headed for Austin Enterprise studios (USA) to record “Fortune’s Complexity (In Five Cycles Of Torments)†with Steve Austin himself (Today Is The Day-mogul, worked by bands such as Lamb Of God, Converge,…), taking care of the mixing and the pre-mastering as well. “Fortune’s Complexity†was released on Genet Records in June 2006, and is a fierce mix of chaotic elements, metalcore and modern influences. After huge line-up changes, PSALM decided to modify their musical orientation to fit their members’ influences better and thus took a very extreme turn. During November/December 2007, they recorded the E.P. “Manifestâ€, a much more coherent and relentless effort, at the infamous CCR Studio.Until today, PSALM has played with bands like ABORTED, AMEN RA, CALIBAN, HEAVEN SHALL BURN, LENG TCH’E, SWORN ENEMY, 100 DEMONS, THE OCEAN, NEAERA, and many others.
