Winnipeg, MB death metal band Psychotic Gardening has teamed up with extreme metal authority Decibel Magazine to premiere their new music video ‘Origin of The Infection’ directed by guitarist Andrew Wiens on Deciblog in support of their forthcoming album ‘Hymnosis’ set for release on May 13th.
Director/Guitarist Andrew Wiens comments:
“The video for ‘Origin of the Infection’ is gritty and dark. It’s the first time we’ve had a chance to produce a storyline into one of our videos, which is something we’ve wanted to do for a long time. It’s basically a metaphor for some of the things we see in society. It’s certainly open to some interpretation in terms of the implications of what it means and we hope it will provoke thought.

The band returns in 2014 with new material and the return of Chuck Labossiere after he filled in with Broken Hope for tour dates in Europe and Canada. The album is the follow up to 2011’s ‘Humanitorium’ and 2007’s debut ‘Hürdür’ and features nine heavy hitting assaults sure to bang skulls with itsfull-throttle, go-for-the-throat execution of doom and black metal. In this release the band digs into its death metal roots for a concoction of their most vicious material while still hammering down on doom-laden monster riffs.
Music video ‘Open Casket‘, a tribute to legendary Death featuring guest appearances from Tim Roth (Into Eternity) and Chuck Wepfer (Broken Hope).

“If you’re into that old school feel, you don’t want to miss out on this release” – Counter Culture Nerd
“Psychotic Gardening has delivered a new LP, Hymnosis, that will become an instant favorite of metal heads. This is not a debatable statement but one of fact and I believe that you will join me in that statement as you listen to the well crafted progressions and pounding drums. Each cut takes on a life of it’s own and you can not only hear the procession but also feel it as well. Do yourself a favor and get this LP on May 13th. Words can not even describe how much I enjoyed listening to this brutal work of metal art but I hope that you understand where I’m going with it.” – Tommy Tee – Insane Realm Radio
“Combining equal parts death-, doom- and black-metal, Psychotic Gardening creates a sonic assault on the ears and the soul in its latest album, Hymnosis…a solid effort with bits of black onyx lighting up through the muck and slime. The gods of darkness should be pleased with Psychotic Gardening’s offering.” – The Collegian
“Psychotic Gardening mixes elements of death, doom, thrash and classic heavy metal with great results: Hymnosis is nothing short of incredible. The first big highlight of summer 2014.” – Emurg
“Now the next leading act in the Canadian scene has certainly impressed me and given me hope for the vast land to churn out a lot of good music in the years to come. By that I am referring to blackened doom metal outfit: Psychotic Gardening and their fourth album: HYMNOSIS. This very impressive release opens with very loud, fast and extremely heavy black metal tunes from the first track.” – The Independent Voice
