Psychonaut - World Maker (2025)
“World Maker” marks Psychonaut’s most refined offering to date, merging primal riffs with psychedelic expansiveness and post-metal grandeur.
Underpinned by themes of loss, hope and new life, the album carries an emotional weight brought on by personal tragedy and renewal for the band.
The compositions move organically between quiet introspection and sweeping, heavy passages — the contrast allowing moments of both reflection and catharsis.
Instrumentation is intricate: the drums deliver punch and precision, guitars oscillate between delicate ambient passages and crushing grooves, and the mixing gives space for both heaviness and air.
In sum, this is a mature, ambitious record — one that may require patience on first listen but rewards with immersive depth and evolving textures.
