Intromental Worldwide has announced the signing of American power/progressive metal band PSYAXIS founded by lead guitarist/songwriter Matt Roberts in April of 2006. The band recently completed recording their debut album, Black Dawn Rising, with producer Marco Minnemann (UKZ, NECROPHAGIST, ULTIMATE ZERO, EPHEL DUATH) at Mana studios. The album was engineered and co-produced by Brian Elliott.
According to a press release, “musically Psyaxis draws on the heavy power metal of bands such as ICED EARTH or SAVATAGE (with guitarist Matt Roberts bearing an uncanny resemblance to the late Criss Oliva in his soloing), the melodic prog of a DREAM THEATER (no wonder that drummer Marco Minnemann was among the remaining choices for the vacant spot in DT earlier this year) to a more modern and aggressive sound that can only be described as unique for Psyaxis.”
