About
6 vinyl editions tracked, including 2024 reissues and original 'The God-Shaped Void' LP from Germany.
Originating under the name Aslan in 1986, Psychotic Waltz quickly rebranded after releasing a four-song demo in 1988. The band's debut album, 'A Social Grace,' released in 1990 via their own Sonic Sous Records and licensed in Europe to Rising Productions dim, marked their entry into progressive metal with minimal US distribution but solid European acclaim. Their subsequent albums, including 'Into The Everflow' (1992), 'Mosquito' (1994), and 'Bleeding' (1996), showcase an evolution in sound and production, involving notable producers like Ralph Hubert and Scott Burns.
After a period of inactivity, they returned with 'The God-Shaped Void' in 2020, carrying forward their signature style into psychedelic rock.
