Deicide Premiere New Single & Music Video "Sever The Tongue" From Upcoming New Album "Banished By Sin"

Deicide, the veteran Satanic death metal band, has unveiled their latest track "Sever The Tongue" now available for streaming via YouTube and Spotify for you below. Accompanying the release is a NSFW music video directed by David Brodsky (known for his work with Cattle Decapitation and Cannibal Corpse).

The band has also announced their thirteenth studio album, "Banished By Sin," set to release on April 26th via Reigning Phoenix Music. Deicide handled the production for the album, with assistance from Jeramie Kling on engineering duties. The mixing and mastering were done by Josh Wilbur (notable for his work with Lamb Of God and All That Remains).

Benton shared his thoughts on the record:

“I’ve been sitting in a dark corner for several years now. A few things have come into my life that have shaken and changed me. I got inspired writing this new record—it was like flipping a switch. I no longer have the aggravation of other peoples’ hangups interfering with what I have and want to do. I stopped chasing everybody else’s happiness a long time ago. The guy who started this shit is back! And it’s good to be back!”

“Musically, we’re back to the 1990s style. There’s modern stuff in there, too. It’s Deicide the way it was meant to be. My hooky songs are there, Steve‘s prog-styled songs are there, and we got Kevin‘s theme-styled songs. Having Taylor in the band has impacted Deicide greatly. He’s a fantastic songwriter and player. He can do anything. The four of us contributed three songs each. I’m back with the high screaming and layering. I’m just absolutely going off on this one. I’ve been told it’s one of my best vocal performances. I’m like Rumpelstiltskin—here to spin your hay into gold. Everybody’s going to be pleasantly surprised.”
