Creative experimentation
Experimentation is one of the main philosophies of Psy’Aviah. This is portrayed by both incorporating different genres into their own sound and by the different collaborations they have done over the years: from poetry with Suzi Q. Smith and Jean-Luc De Meyer (Front 242), to EBM power-pop with Jennifer Parkin (Ayria), trip-hop & lush warm vocals by Kyoko Baertsoen (ex-Hooveprhonic & Lunasxcape), covered by Chaos all Stars ft. Mona Roukachi, and even to Enya-esque reminders with Kristell Lowagie.
Due to this varied pallet in both music and lyrics, the band fits well on different stages: from main-stream pop, rock and electronic festivals, as well as more gothic, EBM and experimental oriented shows.
Track record…
Formed in 2003, but mainly focusing on experimenting and playing live shows, the band really took form in 2007 when they released their first album “Creationism”. Shortly after that release Psy’Aviah was signed to “Alfa Matrix” records and with them they released the albums “Entertainment Industries” (2008), “Eclectric” / “Eclectricism (2CD Limited Edition)” (2010), “Into The Game DJEP” featuring Ayria (2011), “Introspection ~ Extrospection” / “Restrospection” (2CD Limited Edition)” (2011), “Contraspection” (Digital Only Release) (2011) and “OK / Virtual Gods DJEP” (2012) with remixes by Jan Vervloet, M.I.K.E., Radical G, NUDE, and more…
Renewing their contract in 2012 the band worked on releasing the concept (mini)-album "Future Past" (2013) and a single/remix EP "Our Common Future ft. Kyoko Baertsoen" (2014) to mark the new "Era" of Psy'Aviah: collaborating once again with a lot of new artists to bring variety in the vocal palette. At the moment Psy'Aviah is working on a new full length album.
Members
The band was initially founded in 2003 by producer and composer Yves Schelpe. In 2007 he was joined by vocalist Emélie Nicolaï and guitarists Kristof De Clerck (2007-2011) and Ben Van de Cruys (2011-...). From 2013 on with the album "The Xenogamous Endeavour" the project moved away from a tradition line-up, and Yves focused back on inviting guest vocalists and musicians on the songs, thus returning back to the roots.

Anger management
The lyrics of Psy'Aviah's song Anger Management talk about frustration and irritation over others who criticize but fail to offer any alternative solutions. The opening line "I'm sick of it, you got critique" sets the tone for the song, conveying the singer's annoyance at others who only criticize rather than actually do anything productive. The following lines "Go and do something yourself, You got critique, go and do something else, Do something yourself" emphasizes the importance of taking action instead of just talking.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the need for anger management, with the lyrics "Anger management, Unburden my heart" serving as a call to action for those who struggle with anger issues. The song seems to suggest that rather than getting angry at those who offer criticism without solutions, it would be more productive to channel that energy into productive actions.
Overall, the lyrics of Anger Management come off as a reminder to focus on solutions rather than dwelling on problems. Instead of getting angry and frustrated with others, we should focus on taking ownership of our own actions and doing something productive. The chorus of the song encourages us to take a step back and unburden our hearts by managing our anger.
