Psycho Synner was an American alternative metal band from Las Vegas, Nevada, formed in 2020, originally as Psychosexual. Starting as a solo project by Jeremy Spencer, former drummer of Five Finger Death Punch who left in 2018 after undergoing spinal surgery, the band evolved with additional members, as heavier metal elements were mixed with new wave influences. Spencer renamed the band to Psycho Synner in 2021 to better fit this musical direction.

The band's final line-up consisted of lead vocalist Jeremy Spencer (also known as Devil Daddy and later Grym Synner), guitarist Crucifier, bassist Astaroth and drummer Volac. Jason Hook, former guitarist of Five Finger Death Punch, made a guest appearance on the band's EP Songs to Stalk You By (2020), playing on two covers, "Watchin' You" by Kiss and "Gonna Get Close To You" by Queensrÿche. The band was infamous for their edgy lyrics and music videos, use of softcore pornography and releasing nine albums in one day. While self-described by Spencer as hard rock and heavy metal, the band has spanned many genres, such as alternative metal, gothic metal, gothic rock, industrial metal and nu metal.

In 2020, they released one studio album, Torch the Faith (2020) and one extended play, Songs to Stalk You By (2020), as Psychosexual. After a poor reception, the band removed them on streaming. In 2021, the band got a fresh start as Psycho Synner, and released nine albums in one day: 666 B.C., Vol. 1: The Burning Years, 666 A.D., Vol. 2: The Scorched Years, As the Demon Dances Under the Blood Red Sky, Bite the Snake, Dying to See You, Fuck in the Fire, Killing You Softly, The Devil Made You Do It and Unholy Hymns for the Children. In 2022, they released Demondelic and Eat the Flame, all of which were poorly received, so Spencer ended the project in 2023 to focus on his death metal band, Semi-Rotted.
