Psyclon Nine is an American industrial metal band formed in 1999 in San Francisco, California. The project began when roommates Marshall Goppert and Josef Heresy created an industrial metal music project called “Defkon Sodomy,” influenced by bands like KMFDM and Ministry. The band only performed under that name twice before changing it to Psyclon Nine. The name was a malapropism of Zyklon B, the trade name of hydrogen cyanide used in the gas chambers during the Holocaust. The “Nine” was used because of the number’s significance in Aleister Crowley’s numerological writings.
Lead vocalist, lyricist, and multi-instrumentalist Nero Bellum is the only remaining original member of the band. Over the years, Psyclon Nine has released several albums, including Divine Infekt (2003), INRI (2005), Crwn Thy Frnicatr (2006), We the Fallen (2009), Order of the Shadow: Act 1 (2013), Icon of the Adversary (2018), and Less to Heaven (2022). The band’s music is characterized by a blend of industrial metal, black metal, and electronic elements, with lyrics often exploring dark and provocative themes.
They are signed to Metropolis Records and their music & merch can be found on their Bandcamp page.
