Former Wake singer Kyle Ball is back with another tape of extreme metal, a blend of all things dark and nasty. We'll pull from [url=https://www.decibelmagazine.com/2026/04/06/streaming-lysergics-ep-towering-altars-of-misanthropy/]a recent interview with Decibel[/url]: [i]“I started Lysergic in the fall of 2023 while I was still in Wake,” Ball says. “Wake was changing and focusing on more expansive and less aggressive sounds, but I still had a crucial need to make unrelenting and brutal metal, so I decided to start this project. The idea was to take the bestial black death sound and smother it in grindcore, industrial, noise and psychedelic soundscapes, with lyrical content about psychedelics, blasphemy, Satan, suicide and ritualistic sacrifice… a sort of love letter to the Satanic panic era and how much chaos it created in the 80s and 90s, as well as a burning hatred towards modern Christianity.”[/i] Yep, that sums it up pretty good. We recommend listening to this in your workplace to summon HR.
