"Psycho" was released on the 12th March 2015 as part of the pre-order bundle of the Drones album. The album was made available for pre-order at 18:00 that day, with the track available for almost immediate download.
"Psycho" contains many offensive lyrics in the uncensored version of the song, which will likely hinder its ability to be played over the air. Throughout the song, dialogue of a marine can be heard being shouted at by his commander, encouraging him to become a "Psycho Killer". The riff is based on a very heavy bass distortion, which sounds remarkably intentionally broken, a reasonably heavy guitar, and contains the "0305030" riff, played live in gigs since 1999. The song also contains orchestration in the last part of the song and distorted vocals in the chorus.
The lyric video is almost like a music video, which features a band playing, and an actor, resembling a sargeant. It also features several actors, covered in paint. The video was co-produced with SEKDEK (Spriit Extraction Kit Demon Extraction Kit), and it was directed by Tom Kirk and Simon Bennett.
