PSYCHOMANCER was formed in September '97 in Michigan City, Indiana by Duston Bullard (bass), former drummer Damon Smith, Brad Calkin (guitars), Kevin Cochran (former guitarist), and Shawn "Mutilator" McCormick (vocals). After writing an all original set and permforming numerous shows around the Indiana/Illinios area, they went to record a nine song c.d. entitled "AMID THE SMELL OF ROTTING CORPSES" at Thunderclap Recording in Hammond, Indiana. Due to finacial difficulties and eventual lineup changes the c.d. was never released. In late 98, Damon was let go and Kevin consequently left the band as well. Dedicated and determined to keep forging brutal metal, they sought out long time friend/drummer, Rob Lawrence from the band CHRONIC BLACK, hence the transmutation of Psychomancer was complete. Not wasting any time they went on to Thunderclap to record six brutal tracks for the self-titled c.d., "PSYCHOMANCER (si-ko-man-sur)". "Si-ko-man-sur" was heavily distributed in partnership with Cursed Productions in early 2001. Psychomancer had done much touring supporting the c.d. and gaining a huge and dedicated fan base. In December of 2003, Psychomancer also gained a second guitar player and backing vocals with long-time friend, Mark "Carcus" Schultz, who has added his fierce musical talents to complete the bands "Bone Powdering" sound! Playing with the likes of Mortician, Exhumed, Immolation, Six Feet Under, Malevolent Creation, Dead To Fall, Dying Fetus, Hell-Born (Poland), The Chasm, Between The Buried And Me, Reflux, Lividity, Waco Jesus, Disinter, Evil Incarnate, Reprobation, Rupture Christ, Sadomasomachism, Unhallowed, and Fog to name a few. All the while, writing new material for an upcomming c.d., Psychomancer is currently looking for more prominent lable support to further assist in our quest of metal domination!
