Visitor drummer Leo Graae holds the madness along with unimaginable precision and dexterity, providing Hebephrenique’s materials a strong basis for the off-the-rails sonic explorations.

The band had this to say about its debut:
“With Decathexis, we wished to create a blistering sonic assault that claws by means of the psyche, an immersive descent into the fractured structure of our personal minds. The music is ferociously chaotic but meticulously structured, a relentless exploration of psychological disintegration, a maelstrom of blast-beaten catharsis, dissonant riff structure, and vehement vocal psychosis.
Decathexis, the pathological severing of emotional funding, isn’t only a title for us, it’s additionally a manifesto. Every observe peels again layers of interior dialogue, exposing the uncooked neurochemical violence of derealization, emotional blunting, and cognitive fragmentation. By way of lurching time signatures, oppressive textures, and atmospheres steeped in dread, I attempted to translate the language of scientific detachment into sound.”
