PSYCHONAUT – unfold the god man (CD, LP Vinyl)

They literally came from out of nowhere --Mechelen, Belgium, to be precise -- but their debut album Unfold The Godman showcases truly world class musicianship and songwriting abilities, heavily influenced by 70's bands like Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, but also drawing inspiration from contemporary artists like Tool and Amenra. Recorded by Chiaran Verheyden at the honourable Daft Studios in Malmedy, Unfold The God Man is an intricate concept album dealing with philosophical and existential themes, ultimately depicting mankind's reascension to a higher level of consciousness. The nearly 70-minute-long album contains material from over 3 years of incessant writing, arranging and recording. The three-piece made themselves a name across the Benelux underground with a raw and compelling live show, which merges their wall of sound with intense visual landscapes and moody lighting design with careful attention to detail. Contrast and variation are the two main anchors on which they base their musical and visual ideas. Since 2013, they have released 2 physical EP's - 24 Trip sAround the Sun' (2014) and Ferocious Fellowman' (2016) and taken the stages of Desertfest, Rock Herk and Putrock Festivals. *Pelagic
