Wikipedia
Psychopomps are an electro-industrial band from Denmark formed by Jesper Schmidt and Flemming Norre Larsen. They were signed to Zoth Ommog Records in the early 90's followed by Cleopatra Records. Their early records were recorded at Strip Studios by close friend and label mate Claus Larsen of Leaether Strip. The only notable line up change was the addition of Kaare Mogensen for the recording of Fiction Non-Fiction. The band appeared defunct after the release of Fiction Non-Fiction. However, they have created a Myspace page featuring new content as well as old and unreleased songs.
Usage examples of "psychopomps".
Like phagocytes in the bloodstream of the living, they are not just psychopomps, protectors of souls during the transition voyage, but scavengers, seeking out and returning souls who have crossed that boundary in the wrong direction and who do not belong on the east bank of the living, no matter how terrible the imperative of the torment that has brought them back there.
