New material begins to develop yet bassist Clayton Ingerson eventually leaves the band. Colin Marston enters.

Influences
many artists far and wide.. Philadelphia, New York
Over the course of four previous albums, DYSRHYTHMIA has taken complex, instrumental, heavy music to new heights. On 'Psychic Maps,' the band continues to push themselves to new levels of technicality while also adding a healthy dose of melodic songcraft. Thus, 'Psychic Maps' is the most accessible recording the band has ever released, yet still retains the incomparable, mind-blowing musicianship that is DYSRHYTHMIA's raison d'être.
Have you already forgotten about the 3D Machine???
Tricks aside, we all know who has been hoarding our data demo we gave ya, which is why we want to let the Hot Topic chick know that previews of our album are up on our dorkspace page, and that she can book us at any Guitar Center that will hold a strip club of two people.
Hope all is well, and we hope to be out there to record in May.
