In the far reaches of the Holden Maine, Psonen was formed in the spring of 2018 by founding members Patrick Kinkade (guitar & vocals), Stephen Baxter (drums) and Kiernan McMorrow (bass).

Looking to create a new sound fusing old school thrash and black metal, the founding members were eventually joined by Jason Snow (guitars) and Andy Eisentrager (vocals). Psonen recorded & released a self produced three song demo at their home studio The Nest in the fall of 2019 containing original songs "White Like Wolves", "Scorched Earth" and "The Fall of Azeban" (which was later made into a live action music video). Psonen played a handful of live shows locally working on new material and honing their unique sound.

Shortly after, Psonen mutually decide to part ways with founding member Kiernan McMorrow and enlisted Jim Violette who was with he band until the winter of 2020. During that winter Psonen once again started tracking songs at their home studio with Patrick Kinkade engineering and taking on bass responsibilities for their first EP Take Shelter which was later released in July of 2020. In this time period Psonen also parted way with guitarist Jason Snow and recruited bass phenom Ian Robertson leaving the band with a long desired solid lineup of Kinkade (guitars), Baxter (drums), Eisentrager (vocals) and Robertson(bass).

Psonen is currently preparing to track songs for an upcoming full length album tentatively due in the summer of 2021.
