Australian Extreme Metal group Psycroptic have shared a video for their new single, “A Fool’s Errand” taken from the band’s upcoming eighth studio album, Divine Council, due for release on August 5th, 2022 via Prosthetic Records.

Brothers Dave Haley (drums) and Joe Haley (guitar) have steered Psycroptic through different shades of Death Metal, from the technical to the experimental, with longtime vocalist and lyricist Jason Peppiatt and bassist Todd Stern further embellishing the sound of the band.

Origin vocalist Jason Keyser has long been considered a part of the band’s extended family, and on Divine Council, he contributes vocals to the album tracks. They also feature additional vocals from Amy Wiles.

The album’s lyrics “detail the myriad of ways that human beings waste, destroy or devalue what’s in front of them” and that’s captured in the album artwork, courtesy of Eliran Kantor.

Shortly after releasing Divine Council, Psycroptic will co-headline a North American trek with Tech-Metal group Fallujah, featuring Progressive outfit Interloper and Tech-Death unit Cognitive as support. Dubbed “The Divine Ascension Tour”, this extensive run kicks off September 11th in Los Angeles, CA.
