“The Pleasure Kill” (2002) became an early high in the band’s career, cementing the band’s status and preparing the scenario for things to come. Sleazy rockers like "Back In The Days", "Inhale" or the unique "Apocalypso" have grown to become true classics of the punk rock scene. After further touring and appearances at major festivals like Wacken (2003 and 2008),Summer Breeze (2003, 2004, 2006 and 2009)and WFF (2008), PSYCHOPUNCH entered the legendary Sunlight studios again to lay down their highly acclaimed fifth album “Smashed On Arrival”(2004) on Silverdust Records. With songs like “Dying in your dream”, ”All over now” and “Fingerlickin’ good” the band once again proved that they are here to stay.
With their album “Kamikaze Love Reducer”(2006), PSYCHOPUNCH once again showed what this music is about, firing 10 shots of punk rock’n’roll straight into the brain – addiction is guaranteed, courtesy of those exceptional melodies and catchy choruses that are the band’s trademark. It seems to be unbelievably easy for PSYCHOPUNCH to deliver hit after hit, quickly captivating the unsuspecting listener. Songs like Overrated,Poison alley groove,On the stereo,The black river song,When this world is dying and Everlasting has become almost permanent songs in the liveset!
The boys celebrated their 10th anniversary impressively by releasing their 7th album "Moonlight City".The “Moonlight city”(2008) album once again combined PSYCHOPUNCH's trademarks:riffs with class, attitude and melodies you can't escape. The band developed consequently and ended up in a varied record full of diverse moods and emotions. In your face still, but the sophisticated way. The result surely deserves to be heard, with hit after hit pouring down on the listener.
On their eighth album na med „Death By Misadventure“, the boys redefine themselves. No, they haven´t left the familiar terrain of snotty rock hymns. But they allow more to happen this time, they’ve grown and you can really hear it in the songs.
The forerunner records “Moonlight City” and “Kamikaze Love Reducer” already gave an idea of this development. Two line up changes certainly did conduce to this as well. Increased record sales and the crowd’s reaction at the live shows prove that the fans are willing to follow that road.
Eight long play albums, just as many 7-inches and two 10-inch EPs, is what they can look back upon and their first musical home, legendary White Jazz Records, they really helped to be successful.
Their fourth record for SiLVERDUST records is once again made with quality. Driving guitars and melodies keep munching their way into your brain, all being held together by JM’s unique voice which is a perfect frame. 18 songs of which each and every one has got what it takes to be a good rock song. All that comes along on a double CD which will be released with a limited first edition and as a double vinyl incl. a bonus track. Band mate and regular producer Pelle Saether has once again done a brilliant job in the studio Underground in Vasteras/Sweden. The characteristic style of the cover artworks has been kept and created by the excellent Timo Wuerz.
Punk Rock, Punk’n’Roll, snotty rock, no matter what you want to call it, it remains PSYCHOPUNCH. And “Death By Misadventure” once more show their paces and prove they never run out of good ideas. One less anxiety about the future!
This is Scandinavian rock at its best!

Back For Good
Psychopunch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I sure as hell didn't have a lot of fun
Back in the fast lane, I'm running with the pack
Just like a madman and now I'm coming back
Born in the fire and cursed under a spell
Here today, no matter what you say
I do the best I can, but no one understands
Guess I'm a nice guy, baby after all
I'm slow and easy until the madman calls
Oh, what a nightmare, they try to hold me down
I count the days before I burn this fucking town
Well alright, hard-on tonight
I'm going all the way, no matter what they say
I'm back for good let the devil sing my song
I'm back where I belong, ooh yeah
Kicking like a horse ay superman
So bad that I'll be damned, ooh yeah
Hey baby let's burn the past
Sure as hell gonna kick some ass
Well alright, I feel so good tonight
I'm going all the way
No matter what you say
The lyrics of Psychopunch's song "Back for Good" describe a person who had a tough time growing up and was mistreated by others. However, he has managed to rise above his past and has now found himself back in the fast lane, running with the pack. He compares himself to a madman, which might suggest that his past experiences have made him reckless and daring.
The person refers to having cracked a mirror and being cursed under a spell, which could symbolize a period of bad luck or misfortune that he had to endure. However, he managed to break free from that curse, and he's here to stay, no matter what other people might say. He feels misunderstood, and even though he tries to do his best, he can't seem to make anyone understand him.
The chorus of the song signals a newfound determination and confidence in facing whatever challenges come his way. He declares that he's back for good and that nothing will stop him from achieving his goals. He's ready to kick some ass and burn the past, showing that he's overcome his past and is now focused on the future and making the most out of his life.

They kicked my ass when I was young
I was bullied and oppressed when I was young
I sure as hell didn't have a lot of fun
It was not an enjoyable experience for me
Back in the fast lane, I'm running with the pack
I'm living life on the edge and taking chances
Just like a madman and now I'm coming back
I'm returning with a vengeance
I cracked the mirror, seven years of hell
I've suffered for a long time
Born in the fire and cursed under a spell
I've faced challenges and hardships from the start
Here today, no matter what you say
I'm present and strong, no matter what others think
I do the best I can, but no one understands
I try my hardest, but no one seems to get it
Guess I'm a nice guy, baby after all
I may seem gentle and kind, but I have a wild side
I'm slow and easy until the madman calls
I'm calm and collected until I need to take action
Oh, what a nightmare, they try to hold me down
I've been in a bad situation where others have tried to control me
I count the days before I burn this fucking town
I'm looking forward to leaving this place
Well alright, hard-on tonight
I'm feeling confident and strong
I'm going all the way, no matter what they say
I'm going to pursue my goals, no matter what others think
I'm back for good let the devil sing my song
I'm back and here to stay, regardless of the consequences

I'm energized and powerful
So bad that I'll be damned, ooh yeah
I'm living life on my own terms, even if it means going against societal norms
Hey baby let's burn the past
Let's forget about the past and move forward
Sure as hell gonna kick some ass

I'm giving it my all and not holding back
