PSYCHONAUT Share Visualizer Video For New Single “And You Came With Searing Light”​

"... Belgian psychedelic post-metal collective, Psychonaut, return with “And You Came With Searing Light,” taken from their forthcoming album World Maker, out October 24 via Pelagic Records. Known for weaving together towering riffs, polyrhythmic precision and deep philosophical themes, the trio now turns inward, navigating the shifting terrain of fatherhood, grief and hope.

Watch the visualizer for “And You Came With Searing Light” below.

Stefan de Graef :

This track was one of the first ones I wrote at the end of 2023 and one that took a lot of re-writing and re-arranging to get it perfect. The lyrics were written a few weeks after my son was born and radiate the intense feelings of joy I felt during my first weeks as a father. They are an ode to the childlike wonder that we often lose somewhere along the line as we grow into adults.

“And You Came With Searing Light” immediately exemplifies Psychonaut’s redirected ambition on World Maker, as euphoria collides with blinding fury. The first track written for the album, “…Searing Light” is easily the most complex and initially wouldn’t sound out of place on previous album Violate Consensus Reality. Originally meant to be the new album’s opening track, the decision to defer its impact, not to mention its compositional and dynamic gravity, speaks of a fundamental change to the band’s very core. The words “Discover the world with wide eyes” recurring throughout speak as much to those having lost a part of their world as they do to those seeing it for the first time...."
