Information
Psycho contains many offensive lyrics in the uncensored version of the song, which will likely hinder it's ability to be played over the air[1]. Throughout the song, dialogue of a marine can be heard being shouted at by his commander, encouraging him to become a "Psycho Killer". The riff is based on a very heavy distortion, which sounds remarkably intentionally broken, and contains a very iconic riff, often played live in some older gigs.
Release
Psycho was released on the 12th March 2015 as part of the pre-order bundle of the Drones album. The album was made available for pre-order at 18:00 that day, with the track available for almost immediate download.
