Austin, TX prog-metal quartet TRANSIT METHOD announce third full-length album Othervoid releasing on February 2, 2024 via Brutal Panda Records. Othervoid was produced by Charles Godrey at Scary American Studios in Austin, TX (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Third Eye Blind, Whiskey Myers, Holy Wave), mastered by Dan Shike at Tone and Volume Mastering (Meat Puppets, Third Eye Blind, Larkin Poe) and features incredible album art from Marald van Haasteren (Metallica, Kvelertak, GosT).
Today, the band shares the album’s first single with a music video for the song “Psychometry”. Watch the Justin Wilson directed video on Brutal Panda’s YouTube Channel HERE.
TRANSIT METHOD elaborate on new single “Psychometry”: “Psychometry is about uncovering mystery using the supernatural. It explores how curiosity can lead to painful truths, like in the realization that it’s all too late and nothing can change the past. We must accept whatever reality we face.”

Othervoid marks the prog-metal quartet's most bludgeoning, infectious and ambitious album to date. Brothers Matt LoCoco (vocals/guitar) and Mike LoCoco (drums) are joined by new members Bryan Rolli (guitars/vocals) and live Panopticon violinist Charlie Anderson (bass) cementing the band's definitive lineup.
Othervoid's seven tracks show the breadth of the band's songwriting. The punk-metal riffs and dueling guitars of "Psychometry" evoke Mutoid Man and Iron Maiden, while the vocal harmonies and trad-metal gallop of "The Outside" recall Mastodon and Thin Lizzy. The album reaches its astonishing climax on "Frostbite," a shapeshifting, nine-minute epic inspired by the 2021 freeze that left millions of Texans stranded at home without power and claimed hundreds of lives.
Othervoid is the result of years of turmoil and triumph. With their future uncertain, Transit Method charged into the eye of the storm and emerged on the other side with the strongest album of their career. The path was challenging, unpredictable and exhilarating - just like Othervoid.
Additionally, TRANSIT METHOD will perform a special Othervoid record release show on official release date February 2, 2024 at Hotel Vegas in Austin, TX! More info HERE!
