Psychonaut 4 - 40% Demo




Psychonaut 4 is a Georgian band that was formed in the summer of 2010. Their first release is demo named 40% which is limited to 100 copies on tape available via Depressive Illusions Records (UKR)
The demo consists of 3 songs: "Serial Lier", "Parasite" and "Antihuman [Drug=Друг]"
In 22 minutes (which is the lenght of the demo) they've showed that this band has some serious potential.
They describe their music as Modern Suicidal Narcotic Depressive Black Metal and lyrics are mainly based around drugs, alcohol and depression. Influence of Lifelover in band's  music is obvious but it doesn't sound like a cheap rip-off as they have injected it with some dose of personal touch.
Graf Von Baphomet has done an awesome job on vocals as they're really disturbing and intrigue the listener into paying attention to their music, and that is really important.
Most of the bands in today's (Depressive) Black Metal scene have really crappy vocals that sound like a 12 year old girl crying for attention and that usually draws the listener away from band's music.
Guitars are done by Glixxx (Im Nebel, Snatch etc.) and Drifter (Monofucktura) and they sound quite nice, especially in the first song "Serial Lier" where they create really (un)pleasant atmosphere which is contributed by the tortured vocals of Graf.
Drums done by Nepho are really admirable and along with Andre on Bass they just contribute to the ambiance of the Demo.

As much as I tried I couldn't find any flaws to this relelase.
I think it's the best demo I've heard for quite some time.
Be sure to check this band out and if you like it you can support them by buying their demo directly from the label. (as copies from the band are sold out long time ago).

This really deserves a good grade so I'll give it 9/10.
