Let The Sin Begin - Psychosexual

This is something brand new that flew into my radar earlier today. I caught wind of a new project from Jeremy Spencer - the long-time drummer from 5FDP, called Psychosexual. I've been a follower of Jeremy on social media for a while, so the Slipknot-reminiscent-yet-also-dirty band name was not a surprise to me. What was a surprise, however, was the project itself. Psychosexual is a new brand of metal for Jeremy, much more goth in style than 5FDP ever was. And this time, Spencer trades in his drum kit for the microphone, by providing his own smooth and spooky vocals rather than percussion. 

The band's first album, Torch The Faith, has yet to be released, however the band did put out a single just this morning. The debut single is called "Let The Sin Begin" and it is not trying to hold back in its pornographic nature by any means. In fact, many pornstars are featured as dancers in the music video. The whole experience of watching and listening this new group in their first video made me think I was in an alternate reality, where Steel Panther donned black leather and eyeliner instead of leopard-print tights and hairspray. Jeremy quite literally sings about fucking and wiping his love from your chin. How charming.

That said, I did not enjoy the experience in the slightest. Jeremy does prove his musical talents once more, as does his backing band members, however the silly masks, gross lyrics, and macabre style all made for an unfortunate trainwreck that I couldn't help but watch twice. I had to watch it a second time to make sure I didn't imagine the dumpster fire the first time.

Look for Torch The Faith, the debut record from Psychosexual, out soon. I won't be looking for it, but if any die-hard fans of Steel Panther want to disappoint their parents even more, give this one a listen.
