Psy'Aviah is an Industrial rock / Electroclash / Dark EBM band from Antwerp, Belgium. The band took form in 2004 and was mainly focused on playing live. Later that year they won the Studio Brussel Demopoll with The Future Of The Sun. In 2007 they teamed up with Len Lemeire (from Implant/32Crash fame) to record their first album Creationism. 2008 saw the signing to the Alfa Matrix record label and the release of a new album, featurings and remixes.
After the release of their album Entertainment Industries in 2008 Psy'Aviah performed on festivals such as BIMFest 2008, Waregem Expo Gothic Festival 2009, VK Concerts (support Subsonica), Hof Ter Lo (support Emilie Autumn), etc..
The Psy'Aviah videoclip for their single "Moments (feat. Suzi Q. Smith)" got banned in 2009 by YouTube which spawned a reaction of disbelief and disapproval towards YouTube in both the press and on online communities.
2010 brings the third album of Psy'Aviah entitled Eclectric, produced by band member Yves Schelpe and mastered by Geert de Wilde of IC 434 in Antwerp. Their third album brings again a mix of electric eclecticism, varying between styles always with a hint of darkness. This time they have invited some more guests such as Jean-Luc De Meyer of Front 242 fame to sing on the track Ophélie, and Jennifer Parkin of Ayria who guests on the track Into The Game.
The album Introspection / Extrospection is the band's latest and was released November 25th 2011. It features again a wild range of styles as on Eclectric, and contains featurings with Swedish model and ex-Ashbury Heights singer Kari Berg, dutch singer Lis van den Akker from dutch act Misery and also belgian mc's MC Dééjoohcéé & Thomas C. Beerten. The album is their third to be released on Alfa Matrix records, of which the first single Ok (including the remix by M.I.K.E.) and the track SOS Overdose already attracted a lot of attention before the album was actually released.
