    Psycoma is one of the new bands on Rowe Productions. They recorded this album at the Hammer Of God Studios in Melbourne, Australia, as this band's from the same country. Musically I would like to describe them as a thrash band, mixed with modern rock. To explain this: On one hand I hear the kind of riffing that you might hear on a modern groovy thrash album. Yet there is much melody and vocally it's much more in the modern rock vein. A ballad like Footsteps could easily have been some sort of modern rock ballad, the ones a band like Third Day does. The intro of This Killing Tree reminds me of Metallica, which is probably one of the main sources of inspiration for this Australian band. There's also an influence from this band vocally. Overall the recording is good and heavy, but a bit different musically though. Give them a good listen first.
