Doomed Confessionary: Andy, David & Jacob (Psythøn)
Psythøn is a three-piece doom metal band hailing from Chicago, Illinois.
Psythøn deliver a heavy blend of doom, sludge, and stoner metal rooted in Electric Wizard worship and psychedelic chaos. Known for their rebellious spirit, wild parties, and crushing volume, the trio stand apart in a scene often bound by formulas. Guitarist Andy Georgiev, bassist David Johnson, and drummer Jacob Sennese channel raw energy into unrelenting riffs, keeping the defiant essence of rock and roll alive with every performance.
The band has released their debut EP »Baptized In Bong Water« on August 8th, 2025. The release was recorded, mixed and mastered by Dan “The Wizard” Klein at Ironhand Audio in Chicago. »Baptized In Bong Water« EP is available now on all major streaming platforms!
