Psi.Kore was a thrash and groove metal band from Sydney, Australia. History The band was formed in early 1996 by three former members of death metal band Carnage, Chuck Lamb (vocals/guitar), Alex Dourian (bass) and Adam Boyle (guitar). Drummer Gecko was recruited shortly after but Boyle soon left and Psi.Kore continued as a trio. This version of the band recorded a cover of the Kiss song "God Gave Rock and Roll to You II" for a Sydney compilation album but in early 1997 Gecko was replaced by Chuck's younger brother Matt. Andrew Lilley was recruited on lead guitar, and Psi.Kore commence recording their debut album, Holocaust of Braincells, but the sessions were eventually abandoned. Dourian left the band after a tour to Queensland and was replaced by Meredith Webster in late 1998. Shortly afterwards the band supported Vision of Disorder. Within the year the band supported Entombed, Cathedral and Nevermore. An EP was released in early 2000 and Psi.Kore toured with Alchemist and Cryogenic on the World War Three Tour before completing some shows with Skinlab and in October played the Metal for the Brain festival for a second time. During their national tour with Damaged Lilley suffered an injury and Steve Essa from Cryogenic filled in. In April 2001, Psi.Kore toured nationally with Cradle of Filth and Abramelin and Lilley was fired from the band immediately afterward, to be replaced by Ben Walker. Psi.Kore toured with Megadeth in August 2001 and again appeared at Metal for the Brain. Walker was replaced by Aaron Bilbija in January 2002. With a full-length album looming Psi.Kore suddenly split up in August 2002 when Bilbija, Webster and Matt Lamb all left the group to form Daysend.
