Morte Psíquica is a post-punk/darkwave project founded in 1993, in Évora, Portugal. With the original line-up consisting of Sérgio Pereira (guitar & vocals), Tiago Borrões (bass) and André Gato (drums), the band made several live acts during this time, and in August 1994 they released their first material in the form of a demo tape.
Despite their positive start, from 1995 onwards the band entered a a large gap being in the shadows, except for some casual jam sessions, an inactive period that would last nearly 20 years, until Morte Psíquica returned in 2014.
Now as a 2 piece act, with programmed drums, it would not be long for the arrival of the first full-length album: "Fados do Além", launched in January 2016, and from which the following track was taken: "Fado das Almas".
In February of the following year, the single "Depois de Amanhã" was released, and it's available on bandcamp for digital purchase, along with two covers: "Contact the Fact" from The Sound, and "Soul in Isolation" from The Chameleons.
Also in the cover theme, it's truly recommended to check on YouTube their great covers of Joy Division: "Isolation", Sisters of Mercy: "Heartland" and Fields of the Nephilim: "Endemoniada".
By the end of 2018, Morte Psíquica launched their last material as of yet, the EP "Maneirismos".
As a band, their last gig was performed in Lisbon, in the Summer of 2016, together with bands like Whispering Sons and Bleib Modern.
Nowadays, the project is based in Montreal, Canada, since Sérgio Pereira moved to Quebec thus changing Morte Psíquica to his solo act, but still making regular live performances in those two cities.
