Metal legends DEICIDE will release ‘IN THE MINDS OF EVIL’ November 25 in North America via Century Media Records, and frontman and founding member Glen Benton couldn’t be more proud of his latest offering of evil incarnate.
“Do you hear that? It’s the sound of Satan singing along to the new DEICIDE!” boasts Benton of the new release, adding that “‘IN THE MINDS OF EVIL’ is like King Kong taking a shit on a daisy.”
The album is the eleventh studio recording of an illustrious career spanning more than 25 years, and is produced by Jason Suecoff [ALL THAT REMAINS, TRIVIUM, DEATH ANGEL, BATTLECROSS]. The album’s jarring cover was taken from Australian artist Simon Cowell’s painting “Power Of The Mind” and offers a fitting face to the album’s 11 tracks.
1. In The Minds Of Evil
2. Thou Begone
3. Godkill
4. Beyond Salvation
5. Misery Of One
6. Between The Flesh And The Void
7. Even The Gods Can Bleed
8. Trample The Cross
9. Fallen To Silence
10. Kill The Light Of Christ
11. End The Wrath Of God
DECIBEL MAGAZINE joined DEICIDE in the studio earlier this year, reporting: “Expect a super-brutal blast to the cranium. Longtime fans will pick up on nuances inspired from the almighty Legion effort.” With drummer Steve Asheim adding, “we’re going to get down and dirty this time around, so expect the lyrics to be brutal.”
