==Subgenres== {{see also|List of trance genres}} ===Dark psytrance=== Dark psytrance (also known as dark psychedelic trance, dark psy, darkpsy or dark trance) is the heavier end of the psychedelic trance spectrum with tempos starting from around 150 [[Beats per minute|bpm]],<ref name=neotrance>{{cite news|author=Graham St. Johns|title=Neotrance and the Psychedelic Festival|journal=Dancecult: Journal of Electronic Dance Music Culture}}</ref> but may often go faster. Characterized by having obscure, deep, and more [[Eschatology|eschatological]] background that leads into profound meditation of death, night, and transcendence, often with dismal sounds and heavy basslines. The subgenre often samples [[horror film]]s in contrast to the science fiction film samples more regularly used in "normal" psytrance. Dark psytrance emerged as a recognizable genre after 2003 in [[Germany]] and [[Russia]],<ref name=PsyBook2010/><ref name=neotrance/> with Brazilian, German and Russian artists dominating the scene.<ref name="Moreman"/> The German artist Xenomorph (Mark Petrick) is credited as an artist who first brought dark occult aesthetic into psytrance, with his album ''Cassandra's Nightmare'' released in 1998 being a major influence on the subgenre; X-Dream's ''Radio'' is another 1998 album cited as an early influence.<ref name="Moreman">{{cite book |last1=Moreman |first1=Christopher M. |last2=Rushton |first2=Cory James |title=Zombies Are Us: Essays on the Humanity of the Walking Dead | chapter=Rave From The Grave | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=nR8mTnCFjwwC |date=10 October 2011 |publisher=McFarland |isbn=9780786488087}}</ref> ===Full-on=== Full-on is a psychedelic trance style which has high energy for peak moments, often having melodic, energetic, and crisp basslines with a fast tempo (usually 140β148 bpm). There are some related styles that are derived from this style and are distinguished as different varieties of Full-On: twilight and night full-on (or dark full-on), having bolder and lower notes in their basslines, morning (light and kind of happy), and uplifting.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ektoplazm.com/style/full-on|title=Full-On Releases at Ektoplazm β Free Music Portal and Psytrance Netlabel|last=Basilisk|website=www.ektoplazm.com}}</ref> Artists working in the genre include [[Ajja (musician)|Ajja]], Burn in Noise, Dickster, [[Tristan (musician)|Tristan]] and mitanef.<ref name="PsyBook2010"/> ===Suomisaundi=== {{Main|Suomisaundi}} Suomisaundi ({{langx|en|Finnish sound}}) is a variety originating in Finland during the mid-1990s.
