En Psychro
(translation: In Cold Blood) come from the small island of Cyprus.
Formed in July 2011 in Nicosia, by four
friends who shared the same love and passion for the Greek Hardcore scene, En
Psychro set out to disrupt the tranquillity of the Cyprus scene. Loyal to their
Greek scene roots, they began as a D-beat band and since its members come from
different backrounds of extreme music. Their influences cover a wide spectrum of hardcore sound, ranging from
Crust and Hardcore to Punk and Crossover and Thrash, creating an explosive
mixture which represents their rage against the effect the system has on people
and nature.
The band follow, in its own way the DIY
mentality and is against any form of exploitation of music by commercial means
(sponsorships, advertising, contracts and profiteer collaborations) and only
participate in like minded events.
En Psychro’s first live appearance came a
month after the band was formed at a local DIY festival. In November of 2011,
the band records their first self-titled EP which contains six songs, followed
by six months of continuous live performances. Later in the summer of 2012, the
band participated in DIY festivals in Greece, where they were greeted by
the fans with excitement and have since established a strong fan base in
Greece.
At the moment the band is recording their
LP entitled ‘Faceless Mass’ which will be released in early 2013 and which will
contain re-recorded songs from the EP plus eight more songs, two of which will
be in English.
