The band enjoy to experiment with their music and are rather unconventional and break with many of the musical conventions. On their new album Psychosis they even do thing they never done before and best of all its sound real good. Sober Truth concist singer and guitarist Torsten Schramm, lead guitarist Aaron Vogelsberg, bassist Jules RoCkwell and drummer Sam Baw. The new album is of total 42:58 minutes and are the quartet’s most mature work to date. Psychosis have many eruptive burst of modern metal music that probably would give many listeners much pleasure. The song Solitude.

The hard and groovy guitar riffs on Psychosis are a powerful base to bring out the driving choruses and the very versatile vocals along with rough shouts.

The band commented about the lyric «What do we see in the human being facing us, does he show us his truth or a mask? The inner grief changes him, imperceptibly, cruelly, tearing him and scarring his psyche. Everyone knows the feeling of powerlessness, at first timid, then with force flooding our consciousness, unstoppable and mercilessly. The wave ebbs, leaving behind a trembling, naked body, the worst is yet to come: fear … ».

More, «With titles like Akardos (Heartless), Solitude and especially the title track Psychosis, we enter a personal universe of grief, loneliness, doubt that many people know. With Psychosis awakens maybe a truth that we repressed … but also hope, power and confidence. Sober Truth takes us on a mental rollercoaster ride that lets the last track roll out congenially. We’re changing every day, all our lives. The new album picks up where we start to repress. ‘Psychosis’ looks at our scarred psyche and tells our story».
