Press Reviews "Choke On This" reviewed as the album of the month (March) on Metal Hammer Magazine. With their own words: "Amazing work from these guys from Thessalonica! Psycho Choke really kick asses (sex and violence) with their incredible dynamic sound. Their songs are a mix of hardcore, death metal and nu-metal in a way that they combine their extreme style with some melodies that sound very very good.
