FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
AS THE SEA PARTS RISES FROM THE DEPTHS WITH DEBUT FULL-LENGTH ALBUM PSYCHOSIS , OUT NOW
Melodic Death Metal Veterans Deliver a Crushing Fusion of Death, Doom, and Blackened Fury — Featuring Artwork by Mark Riddick
Woodbridge, VA — The wait is over. Virginia-based melodic death metal force AS THE SEA PARTS has officially returned from over two decades in hibernation with their long-awaited debut full-length album Psychosis , now available worldwide.
Originally formed in 1995 by multi-instrumentalist Paul Vanderslice , the band left a permanent mark on the underground with their Trilogy of Sorrow demo before disappearing into a prolonged hiatus. Now, reunited with original drummer Erik Sayenga ( Warthrone , ex- Dying Fetus ) and guitarist Scott Loose ( Brave , Stellar Death , While Heaven Wept ), AS THE SEA PARTS emerges heavier, darker, and more epic than ever.
For fans of early At The Gates , In Flames , and Death , Psychosis delivers ten tracks of meticulously crafted melodic death metal, blending death/doom grandeur with blackened atmospheric elements. Following digital singles Psychosis (2021) and Where Paradise Lies (2022), the album expands the band’s signature sound while forging a brooding, introspective identity all its own.
“ Psychosis isn’t just a return — it’s a continuation of what we started in the ‘90s,” Vanderslice says. “We took everything we loved from that era and pushed it even further — with deeper songwriting, bigger dynamics, and a relentless emotional core.”
The album’s dark, chaotic, and tortured vision is captured perfectly by iconic metal illustrator Mark Riddick , whose artwork complements the sonic intensity.
Psychosis is now available on all major streaming platforms, with physical editions including CD and limited merch available via the band’s official website and Bandcamp.
