PSYCHOPRISM formed in early 2012 when 5+ Octave Singer
Jess Rittgers answered a Craigslist ad placed by Giga-Speed
Guitarist Bill Visser. After several hours of conversation,
Bill sent Jess a raw guitar file with a drum machine.
Jess had his raw mix vocals and lyrics back to Bill
within a week. Bill took down his ad. Both agreed to
meet on May 5, 2012 and record the song which became
Defiance promoting it to build the rest of the band.
Kevin Myers- (Drums), kept appearing at auditions, substituting
for the drum machine. We flat out asked him one day
in the parking lot: "Are you our drummer?" and he said
"Yes." Adam Peterson-(Keys & Guitar), auditioned over
an email from San Antonio Texas, which led Jess to wake
up Bill at 2:am. Bill listened to what became "Against
the Grain" with Adams "Horror-Metal Keys" and said to
Jess: "He nailed 95% of the harmonies by ear, we can't
lost this guy!" So Jess texted Adam at 2:am while walking
his dog, and Adam was in! He just packed up whatever
he could fit into his truck and literally drove 1/2
was across the country in time to make the photo shoot!
Michael James (Bass), appeared out of nowhere. Known
across the country as "Bass Action Hero", his new role
in Psychoprism has upgraded his abilities to "Bass Action
SUPER-Hero", as he attacks the Bass in ways you have
to see to believe.
Currently Psychoprism has released their "Official"
4 track E.P. "Bloodlines" which can be purchased at
