Psico Galera's Memorie Di Occhi Grigi LP up for pre-order
'Memorie Di Occhi Grigi', the new 12" from Italian provocateurs PSICO GALERA, is an 8-track onslaught of dissonant experimentation, unhinged and unpredictable guitar solos, pounding drums, and raw, uncompromising energy, with vocals alternating between distorted shouts and pitched effects reminiscent of early G.I.S.M., slicing through chaotic riffs to create a nihilistic, intense, and sick experience.
Influenced by RKL’s 'Rock’n’Roll Nightmare' era, the metallic and robotic edges of early VOIVOD, and the unstoppable force of STINKY RATS, late NEGAZIONE, and late UPSET NOISE, the record fuses Italian and US hardcore punk from the ’80s and ’90s with obscure Japanese influences such as BITOUSHA, MASTURBATION, and HOG-GISH.
The lyrics explore claustrophobic worlds of unstable minds, institutional violence, and social abandonment, oscillating between fractured self-reflection, guilt, frustration, and calculated revenge. Each track depicts raw, often unsettling scenarios, building a narrative that is intensely personal, universally disturbing, and brutally compelling.
Dark, abrasive, and uncompromising, 'Memorie Di Occhi Grigi' is a direct, fearless sonic manifesto.
PSICO GALERA’s vision is unfiltered, urgent, and clear-eyed, portraying a world where the annihilation of the individual looms relentlessly and oppressively.
