Alchemist completes new album

Australia's Alchemist have recently completed work on their brand new full-length album, Tripsis.

Tripsis, as described by Alchemist guitarist, vocalist Adam Agius (the band is rounded out by guitarist Roy Torkington, drummer Rodney Holder, and bassist John Bray), is "The most consistently heavy album since Spartech with all the Alchemist trade marks - psychedelic, atmospheric, packed with crushing riffs intertwined guitar melodies and groove. Tripsis is also the fastest album delivered by Alchemist with a few songs taking the Surfthrash sound to new heights."

Advance Tripsis song titles include: "Wrapped in Guilt", "Degenerative Breeding", "Grasp The Air", "Substance for Shadow", and "Tongues and Knifes." Tripsis will first see its Australian release in mid-July via Chatterbox Records, with its international release through Relapse Records slated for mid-September.
