AS THE SEA PARTS RETURNS FROM THE DEPTHS WITH LONG-AWAITED DEBUT FULL-LENGTH ALBUM PSYCHOSIS , OUT JULY 11TH, 2025

Melodic Death Metal Veterans Resurface With a Crushing Fusion of Death, Doom, and Blackened Fury

Woodbridge, VA — After more than two decades in hibernation, Virginia-based melodic death metal band AS THE SEA PARTS is set to unleash their long-awaited debut full-length album Psychosis on July 11th, 2025 . Formed in 1995 by multi-instrumentalist Paul Vanderslice , the band made a lasting underground impression with their Trilogy of Sorrow demo before entering a prolonged hiatus. Now, the storm has returned — heavier, darker, and more epic than ever.

For fans of early At The Gates , In Flames , and Death , Psychosis is a powerful blend of old-school melodic death metal with streaks of death/doom grandeur and subtle blackened atmosphere. The band’s reformation includes original drummer Erik Sayenga (Warthrone, ex-Dying Fetus) and guitarist Scott Loose (Brave, Stellar Death, While Heaven Wept), who rejoined Vanderslice in 2019 to breathe new life into the long-dormant beast.

The band’s 2021 digital single Psychosis offered a taste of what was to come, followed by Where Paradise Lies in 2022. The upcoming album expands on that promise with ten meticulously crafted tracks that honor the golden era of melodic death while carving out a dark, introspective sonic identity all their own.

“ Psychosis isn’t just a return — it’s a continuation of what we started in the ‘90s,” says Vanderslice. “We took everything we loved from that era and pushed it even further, with deeper songwriting, bigger dynamics, and a relentless emotional core.”

Psychosis will be released independently and available across all major streaming platforms, along with physical formats via the band’s official website and Bandcamp.
