Psyche is a Canadian band that had worldwide success in the 1980s with the title Unveiling the Secret .

history

Originally the band consisted of two brothers, the singer Darrin Huss and his brother Stephen, who appeared as a keyboardist. The latter fell ill with schizophrenia . The band then continued to work with guest keyboardists. Psyche is internationally known for her 1996 recording of the song Goodbye Horses (originally by Q Lazzarus from the film The Silence of the Lambs ). 2001 followed with the song Sanctuary yet another international success of the band with a new line-up.

Psyche has existed since their first appearance on December 13, 1982. The band has released numerous albums since then. The band was the opening act for Anne Clark on her European tour in 1991 . In 2005, after the release of The 11th Hour , Psyche toured Europe with Diary of Dreams .

Twenty years after its first release, Psyche released an album in 2006 with Unveiling the Secret 2.0 , which contains several completely new arrangements of the song Unveiling the Secret . The Imaginary Life DVD offers a complete overview of the band's first 25 years.

In 2008 Psyche released a limited 7 "single with a cover version of the Joy Division classic Disorder . The B-side contains an acoustically arranged live recording of the 1988 track Eternal .

After various concerts in Germany, Mexico, Finland and Belgium the live album Noche Oscura (Live in Mexico) followed . This CD was released at the same time as Psyche's second appearance in Mexico on March 14, 2009. Psyche then performed a fourth appearance at the Wave-Gotik-Treffen in Leipzig. Psyche expanded the line-up to a four to five-piece band for their subsequent concerts in Germany and a final appearance at the “Castle Party” on July 24th in Bolków , Poland.

The US-American label Metropolis Records released the album Until the Shadows in 2009 with revised and previously unreleased material.
