chico1973 They combine metal and punk perfectly. One of the fastest drummers ever. Favorite track: We Don’t Trust You.

WaveRunner Remember the scene from the movie Trading Places when he asks the guy how he likes his Mercedes and he replies " what's not to like?". That's this album, hard to pick a favorite track. Pshychosomatic is a premium example of next evolution thrash along with Havok and Crisix. When this album is over you will be wanting more. Favorite track: We Don’t Trust You.

The break down at the end of Pandora's Crate was sexy asf Favorite track: Pandora’s Crate.

We Don’t Trust You Intruding into our circle of archaic brood With a list of demands Imposing your unwanted presence Holding a knife in your hand Preaching doctrine of ancient scriptures Illusion of light Hidden agenda has been made You’ve been blackballed for life We don’t trust you Betrayer stands alone still approaching Asking what’s our price? Fabricating a web of lies You won’t fool us twice Respect revoked time for you to leave We got the message through? Gone but not forgotten simply We do not trust you We don’t trust you Music Daniel Mills Lyrics Jeff Salgado

Riot Squadron Dissident America Expanding for awhile Reverting as they unify Walk the extra mile Denying the apology The horde becomes enraged City officials dispatching Lapdogs of the state The riot squad is marching hard With barking cadence 1234 Chucking rocks with Molotovs Are landing on their shields Teargas and flash bombs Attempt to clear the street Crowd is growing numbers Screaming no retreat Escalating violence Turns to full chaos Everything is burning Everything is lost Music Jeff Salgado & Toby Swope Lyrics Jeff Salgado

Schizophrene 02:38
Schizophrene Day goes black a piercing sunlight flash Uncontrolled eyelids Mirror warps as my neck contorts Coffee burns my wrists Multiple voices in my head Tell me how dumb I am Overlapping yelling laughing So many they’re hard to understand No one’s around to hear my idiot scream I’m the one I’m the schizophrene Have no care for the outside world The spinning faces grin No escape from my insane fate Stare at my evil twin Wishing they’d stop shouting at me Learn my daily ordeal Constant insulting and degrading Perception hallucinates or is it real? No one’s around to hear my idiot scream I’m the one I’m the schizophrene Music Daniel Mills Lyrics Jeff Salgado

Agents of Surveillance Brainwashed unanimity Lynching objective Who oppose the regime Now reconditioned We suggest you fall in line We are the agents of surveillance Privacy is the past Volunteer your rights Security oversight Encourage thought crime Guilty till proven otherwise We are the agents of surveillance We’re indoctrinated Processes outdated Social media reigns Seizing all of our brains We deceive Disbelieve Misperceive Freedom lost Albatross Endless cost Music Daniel Mills Lyrics Jeff Salgado
5.
Labyrinth 02:30
Labyrinth All is lost in the Labyrinth When the magic box is opening The surgeons from the afterlife Will come for me Scream for your life Scream from your death Scream for your life Scream from your death No matter which way you’ll Be running out of breath Lost in a mental maze And hope to keep your head Blindly starring down a corridor See the walls breathing heavily Smell the stench of rotting meat Feeling nauseous and it’s sickening Burning spasms up my back and neck Something pounding inside my chest Oh God I think it’s coming out of me! I’m not asleep Scream for your life Scream from your death Scream for your life Scream from your death No matter which way you’ll Be running out of breath Hooks puncture flesh Now your skin is ripped to shreds Music Daniel Mills Lyrics Jeff Salgado

Fortune Dealer On a crusade to save innocence Discover a place themed blasphemous Find the Stygian witches Seeking untold riches Clutching magic eye Foresee how you die Who is visiting and who invited you? Questioning a prophecy that’s about to come true An impossible solution for what you came for Knowledge demands payment or there’s nothing more You yourself seem like a succulent sacrifice Learn about your future for a certain price Step closer so we can identify Let the three of us gaze with the magic eye An impossible solution for what you came for Knowledge demands payment or there’s nothing more You yourself seem like a succulent sacrifice Learn about your future for a certain price Now your body roasts they prepare to feast Three witches satisfied to say the least Find the Stygian witches Seeking untold riches Clutching the magic eye Foresee how you die Music Viktor Hansen Lyrics Jeff Salgado Guest Vocals David Sanchez

Pandora’s Crate Fell from the sky with a blinding light Unknown from where this came Receive this gift as we forbid You unlock this wooden crate All through time it’s held inside Astonishing mysteries Don’t let it tempt or circumvent Your curiosity Screams in your dream Feel the sting Hear the shriek and discovery Another twisted tale Unleash the fiends Inquisitive judgment offers a task To uncover this cryptic fate Key stuck in turned once and clicked A horrible sight awaits Bursting out with a shriek of the vile Spreading wings on a crimson stream As they pass leaving bloodstained path To the world your God’s unseen Screams in your dream Feel the sting Hear the shriek and discovery Another twisted tale Unleash the fiends Shroud of black purge an unseen attack On the innocence of all mankind Cloaked over the demon wings More destruction than you’ll ever find Some things are better left alone Things that might not serve you well Or let me introduce a new choice A chance to unleash full blown hell Music Toby Swope Lyrics Jeff Salgado
8.
Personality Agenda Seek a safe space from criticism To express another personal view Oversimplification just joins the crowd Pick an ideology to identify Created by the wealthy immune Extramural concepts will be shot down Induce your validation from a counterfeit belief We win they lose Perspective turns into what they despise Opinions from a rhetoric lie Media demands you follow left or right Logical philosophy disappears Berated by irrelevant facts Individualism nowhere in sight Induce your validation from a counterfeit belief They won we lost Subjugating critical thought The agenda wears a victory mask Progress blocked right dead in its tracks Trading information is more productive Than an self serving perception Let’s try something new because you can’t go back Music Jeff Salgado & Toby Swope Lyrics Jeff Salgado

Invisible Prison Disassociate from all that You perceive as fact Gripping power lines Of information counteracts Natural course of circumstance Betrays your every thought Redirect the neural synapse Rewind what we’re taught Fighting intellect, tradition on repeat Sealing all the doors will never be complete Breaking old patters with scorn of regret Ideology beset Raping our minds with a trap It’s down the hatch Echo the lie till it sounds like a fact And make it infract Activate the deepest realm From your unconscious mind Cultivate or obstinate A new subject you’ll find Escape the invisible prison That was man made Take in new information Forget the accolades Explore new worlds we’ve never known And forging mental health But first we free our shackled soul Start thinking for yourselves Music Viktor Hansen Lyrics Jeff Salgado

Serial Killer I've tasted the thrill of a kill The thrill of my victims I'm crushing Destroying their will Demented a figure of speech My mind is lost eternally out of my reach Richard in your glass case Stand to be judged, their deaths Written there all over your face Ted a twelve year old Your body should rot out in public For women you've killed Run for your life I'm the serial killer I've come to bury you today No family, no funeral, no rosaries for Slain on this hillside – My Silent Grave! That's where you lay! Buried dead bodies behind Their last words are still etched Clearly into his mind Driven possessed by a will A will that takes over And drives him out for the kill Submit submit to me now He screams out in anger Bloody thirsty, as you cower down It's time he raises the blade You cry out to God For your innocent life to be saved Run for your life I'm the serial killer I've come to bury you today No family, no funeral, no rosaries for Slain on this hillside – My Silent Grave! That's where you lay! Music Phil Demmel Lyrics Sean Killian

Highbinder 03:11
Highbinder On my way to greet a mold of clay Got to make the schedule now or betray Generate illusion making it real Lunatic reasoning is part of the deal Trap is set and stick around for a while Victim snagged now the charm to beguile Credulous pawn searching anything wrong Seek if my emotions are genuine or gone I’m freaking out Create a distraction and I’m on my way Hunting another till the end of the day Sickening farce leaving me unfulfilled Calling someone else on the spinning wheel Impulsive acts are digging me in a hole Deny the situation’s out of control Nothing but carnage left in my wake Doesn’t really matter cause its all a mistake that I made I don’t care what you think In this game called life Everyone’s out for themselves, highbinder Why don’t you take more time to figure out Who you choose to trust Build some common sense just to get away from us Music Jeff Salgado Lyrics Jeff Salgado

Spiral Orthodox Guilty, you render yourself wrong for all you fought Penance, atonement for your crimes of costless thought My grandiloquence Beyond all consequence Decree dependency Enforce ascendancy Stare at the blinding light Don’t know what’s wrong or right Pushing the afterlife Demon is ritualistically planting the dark seed Savior imposing the everlasting need Cleric, the only way you’ll achieve prosperity Cleansing your stained soul and now the reckoning My grandiloquence Beyond all consequence Decree dependency Enforce ascendancy Stare at the blinding light Don’t know what’s wrong or right Pushing the afterlife Holding the lie, goodbye Demon is ritualistically planting the dark seed Savior imposing the everlasting need Cleric, the only way you’ll achieve prosperity Cleansing your stained soul and now the reckoning Music Daniel Mills Lyrics Jeff Salgado

about

“Unsung California thrash heroes PSYCHOSOMATIC might be an unfamiliar name to those of you who haven’t worn out your 57th-generation dub of No Life Til Leather or memorized all of Paul Baloff’s in-between song banter by heart. But for anyone who lives and dies with west coast thrash, these Sacramento vets fronted by vocalist, bassist and founder Jeff Salgado have been thrashing the fuck out of listeners with more regularity over the past decade.” – Decibel Magazine

"With the feral energy of teenagers but the songwriting and performance skills of a band who’ve played over a thousand shows in North America, they put together a ripper of an album under the title of The Invisible Prison. All the shows and all the recordings have honed the blades of PSYCHOSOMATIC to an even sharper gleam, but the passing decades haven’t mellowed them in the slightest. And why would they?" - No Clean Singing

“PSYCHOSOMATIC combines D.R.I.‘s punkish qualities with some old-school California greats, like Exodus and Metallica. And, to be honest, most of their albums fucking slay. And to make things even more relevant, PSYCHOSOMATIC has done well to modernize their sound with the occasional use of the crossover style made popular these days by Power Trip.” – Angry Metal Guy

“A blistering display of visceral old school thrash, if you’re not careful, The Invisible Prison might prove impossible to leave.” – Ghost Cult Magazine

“If names like Hirax, D.R.I., Power Trip, and Slayer mean something to you along with a bit of extreme nuances, PSYCHOSOMATIC needs to be a part of your world – this is a 37-minute plus exercise in mutual chaos and destruction.” – Dead Rhetoric

“There are many things that can be said about PSYCHOSOMATIC. Their long history and influence on the genres they have inhabited as well as their sheer technical prowess on their instruments. But the main point that this album brings across to any metal fan is that some things just get better with age.” – Metal Temple

“From the opening track “We Don’t Trust You” to the last track of “Spiral Orthodox” the coalescing of New Wave of American Thrash vs 80’s Thrash finds a perfect resident within this release.” – Capital Chaos TV

“An underground player from the heyday of California thrash metal and crossover unleashes a mad, technical display of riff-happy brilliance that bridges the divide between classic Bay Area heaviness and modern, genre-bending mayhem.” – Sonic Perspectives

“PSYCHOSOMATIC are the real deal in the vein of Slayer, Exodus, and Hirax. The Invisible Prison is a dozen thrash songs that also incorporate elements of punk and death metal. […] If you are a thrash fan, it’s time for PSYCHOSOMATIC to be on your radar.” – Punknews.org

“It is going to raise your blood pressure. […] Trust might be thin on the ground but this album is a thrash-fest guarantee.” – Flying Fiddlesticks

“…every song is a one, two punch to the face, with little excess.” – The Razor’s Edge

“Man, finally. Just some balls-out, big guitar hittin’, riff-heavy pure thrash metal. […] Fans of Municipal Waste, earlier Havok, and Suicidal Angels will find a lot to chew on here throughout the ~37 minute riff-packed set PSYCHOSOMATIC have managed.” – Grizzly Butts
