Belgium 2003 - 3 musicians and friends had that little magic touch which gave birth to PSY'AVIAH, an eclectic band project that was apparently bound to be successful! In the same year, the trio was named winner of Belgium's famous radio station Studio Brussel's demopoll and they started to perform all across Europe.

Having acquired a certain reputation through their sexy and dynamic performances, and being perceived by many as one of the most promising talents on the Belgian indie scene with comparisons to SOLD OUT, PRAGA KHAN or yet FRONT 242, PSY'AVIAH decided to focus on the recording of their debut album "Creationism" that eventually was released in 2007.

With an open-minded progressive electro-rock music approach at the crossroads of dark EBM, electro clash and industrial rock, PSY'AVIAH manage to reach a rather diversified audience bringing them on stages of alternative rock festivals and other goth industrial events.

While teaming up again with producer Len Lemeire (32CRASH, ANNE CLARK, IMPLANT, UNTER NULL, etc.) for the recording of their second album, the Belgian trio again brilliantly score a top 20 entry in BBC's "The Next Big Thing" contest, they appear on several high-profile compilations, deliver various excellent remix works and ended up signing to Belgian record label Alfa Matrix.

For their new album, you can expect a more upbeat and danceable attitude, with the unique and sensual female vocals of Emélie and Yves' unmatched vicious synth arrangements. PSY'AVIAH are challenging the dark elektro genre by grabbing it by the horns and giving it a special twist by incorporating an electric pop rock tone to their work while infusing fresh modern techno trance ingredients to the whole lot.

ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRIES [29 AUGUST 2008]:
Resurrection Records: "A rather good new signing on Alfa Matrix, up-beat and danceable female vocal industrial, which reminds me of Swarf."

[DE] Terrorverlag: "Den monumentalen Sounds mit viel Hall und dem perfekten Klang, der durch einen Flugzeugkopfhorer ein Surroundfeeling vorgaukeln kann, muss hochstes Lob ausgesprochen werden, so was habe ich seit VNV NATION Zeiten nicht mehr erlebt", "Das soll heiBen, dass man unweigerlich von der wummernden Wucht der Kompositionen mitgezogen wird, als wollte die Platte suggerieren, dass man hypnosegleich den Lautstarkeregler aufdrehen musse"

CREATIONISM [MAY 2007]:
Gothville: 4/5 "nice album, with many variations within a genre"
» read more..

Side-Line Magazine: "This is more than simply a promising new-comer from the Belgian electro fields. Psy’Aviah stands for elaborated, intelligent electronics with some vague trance vibes and guitar riffs on top.", "This is great progressive electronic music and a real shame if they would be not signed!"
» read more..

Gothtronic: 7/10 "the sound is phat and professional", "most notably ‘In Silence’, ‘Infected’, ‘Pick Up Artist’ and ‘Never Fall Again’", "Especially when the vocals set the atmosphere in relation with the eclectic rocking ans roaring electro sequences and strategically placed samples.."

Chain D.L.K.: 3.5/5 "the alternation of male and female vocals create a good effect which introduce new elements on their sound", "nice album that will interest the lovers of genres' crossover as well as electronic lovers thanks to the danceable attitude of many tracks"

[DE] Obliveon.de: 7/10 "einen netten Stilmix von EBM über GOA bis hin zu gitarrenorientierten Songs im Industrialstil bietet", "Ab und an hört man Bands wie Implant oder Praga Khan heraus, jedoch finden Psy’Aviah durchaus ihre eigene Linie und unterscheiden sich somit doch von der Elektromassenware", "Dementsprechend liegt hier eine gute Produktion vor, die das Gesamtwerk abrundet. Mit Songs wie „In Silence“, „In The Dark“, „Pick Up Artist“, „Demons In Mind“ oder „Avon Girls“ sind auch Songs vertreten, die wir bestimmt in Zukunft in den Tanztempeln zu hören bekommen. Durchaus ein hörenswertes Album was durch die verschiedenen Elemente interessant ist und nicht langweilig wird"

[NL] Dark Entries Magazine: "het is allesbehalve eenvoudig om hun muziek in een of ander hokje onder te brengen", "Dansbare, electroachtige tracks worden afgewisseld met tragere, elektronische nummers die voorzien zijn van rockgitaar", "De sensuele vocals van zangeres Emelie Nicolai worden tracksgewijs afgewisseld met deze van toetsenist Yves Schelpe" "Weliswaar heb ik als electroliefhebster een sterke voorkeur voor de meer dynamische tracks zoals het trancey 'Infected' en vocaal speelse 'Never Fall Again' maar ik kan toch ook wel genieten van een electro rock-nummer a la 'Avon Girls'. Andere hoogtepunten op dit schijfje zijn het aanstekelijke 'Pick Up Artist' en het Neikka RPM-achtige 'Demons In Mind'. Ook wel opmerkelijk: de claustrofobische afsluiter 'The Village' met guest vocals van Implants Len Lemeire."
