Biography
While there are many bands in the hard rock/metal world that like to play with fire, it requires a certain combination of insanity and balls to douse yourself in it?
That is exactly what Psychothermia did to spark some attention for their debut album Fall To The Rising Sun dropping on February 8, 2013. ?We kept seeing other bands using fake fire in their photos and videos, we just thought it would be badass to do it for real,? says guitarist Jon Russo. Real is right. A stunt legend, an exhausting weekend, and a lot of burnt clothing later they walked away changed? the fumes may have proved inspiring.
With the easy part over, the band headed into the studio to really let loose. An indescribable energy lurks within the four members and is released in songs like the title track ?Fall To The Rising Sun?. ?Stay one step ahead of yourself; stay one step ahead of the competition; always strive to better yourself? and if you don?t, you fall to the rising sun. Fate will catch up with you,? timely words from singer Johan Maldonado as he explains the meaning behind the title. One listen leaves you with the rush of ripping through the night sky.
Psychothermia has deep respect for the troops in the U.S. Armed Forces and as a small token of gratitude will be donating one copy of Fall To The Rising Sun to those deployed overseas for every copy sold. ?Hopefully it will give a temporary escape, or at least help them get pumped up!? exclaims drummer Mike Russo. You can hear the heartache of warfare in songs like ?Slash & Burn?. With solemn acoustic guitar giving way to a soaring chorus vocal melody, you are taken on a journey that knows no peace.
Personal experiences play a large part in the writing found on the album, and nowhere is this more apparent than ?Warbly?. Bassist Chenzo Vidalez explains ?I?m all about family and being loyal to friends. This song is about a deep betrayal. I was on a motorcycle trip where I caught a friend in a lie? tension escalated and it got to the point where I feared for my life. My instincts kept telling me if I stayed there someone was going to die.? Quivering guitars and relentless double-bass drumming capture the inner turmoil of broken trust, while haunting vocals express the fear as ghostly silhouettes on chopper bikes approach at your weakest moment.
?One of my favorite tracks to jam live is ?Anarchy?,? notes Mike. ?It has a massive driving feel to it with galloping rhythms, and the build-up is just epic.? A song that was originally inspired by distant uprisings of the oppressed, it features the voices of children chanting ?Anarchy!? in the anthemic bridge section and choruses. While on the surface the song may seem political, the deeper meaning behind the track is not so vile. ?Anarchy is far from what the name depicts? the song is about being an individual and finding your voice,? says Johan.
