131. Daniel K of PsyOp Debut Album Howl from the Void - EML’s Artist Profiles
The debut EP of DC-based PsyOp brings you into the fractured mind of one Daniel K, a twisted prophet of rage who speaks of shifting dreamscapes and the unnameable terrors of the night.
Howl from the Void fuses nihilist anthems of decadence and decay ('Bang My Head Against the Wall,' 'The World Owes Me Something'), hardcore bruisers ('Before the Gates'), and jagged postpunk ('Copy and Paste') to create a breathless display of alienation, paranoia, and outrage towards the dystopian techno-horror that is our world today.
Henry and John of grind powerhouse No Mas, along with co-writer Seth Abelson and producer Dag'Nabbit, conjure a vivid backdrop to K's scouring vocals and piercing lyrics. PsyOp draws from the righteous fury of classic hardcore and the nihilism of 70's punk to create something fiercely its own.

Lyrics - Bang My Head Against the Wall
Got the vision but can't shake the coil
Film the revolt but air the rerun
Cauterize the burn but leave the tumor
Growing and growing and growing
Bang my head against the wall
It's all I can do
Bang my head against the wall
It's all I can do
It's all I can do
The rush of blood is like a shot in the arm
A catalyst for excision of pain
After a while it all goes numb and you're
Bleeding and bleeding and bleeding
(Chorus)
Piece together the shattered mirror
The shards of glass won't fit together
So realize with a sinking feeling
You'll never see your reflection
Again
