Biography

Antwerp, Belgium (2002 – present)

Psy’Aviah is an Antwerp, Belgium multi-genre project, founded in 2002. The band consists of Emélie Nicolaï and Yves Schelpe.

Experimentation is a main philosophy of Psy’Aviah, which is portrayed by both incorporating different genres into their own sound and 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), even to Enya-esque reminders with Kristell Lowagie. Due to this experimentation in both music and lyrics, the band fits well on different stages, catering both gothic and electronic festival, as well as the more experimental shows.

Upon Formation, they focused on experimenting and playing live shows, the band really took form in 2007 when releasing their first album “Creationism”. After that release Psy’Aviah was signed Alfa Matrix and with them released the albums “Entertainment Industries” (2008), “Eclectric” / “Eclectricism” (2010) and an EP feat’ Ayria “Into the Game” (2011).

* Played with acts such as Subsonica, IC 434, Emilie Autumn, Implant and 32Crash.
* Played various festivals including SONFest, Delta Festival Hague, Gothic Festival and BIMFest.
* Collaborated with Jean-Luc De Meyer (Front 242), Jennifer Parkin (Ayria) and IC 434 (Geert de Wilde).

    Yves from Psy'Aviah here - I'd like to point out that we do what we want to do. That said, it doesn't mean that others can't voice their opinion ofcourse, freedom of speech all the way. So I don't mind it at all. 't would be nice though if one can voice out an opinion with a little respect or decent speech - but that's just the interwebz ;)

    I have enjoyed every Psy'Aviah release. Their new album is more electro and dancey and less dark and hard, but each track is a surprising twist and it is awesome. The intelligence and creativity is great and I think they are outstanding. I expect a darker and harder album to come in the next album or two for the electro-industrial fanatics :)

    Obviously you didn't realise the track 'Virtual Gods' was made especially for people like you; Anathemite, Gottrag..

    I know I'm a year behind here, but the new album is a complete and utter pile of shit. They were already heading on the wrong direction on Eclectric, but it was enjoyable, at least. What is this ultra-commercial, sugary tripe supposed to be? And rapping...?
