The season of giving is upon us, and Florida death metal legends DEICIDE are making it official with today’s release of ‘IN THE MINDS OF EVIL.’ The band’s 11th studio album is in-stores now, and features the same diabolical take on reality that has become the trademark of a career spanning more than 25 years.

Says DEICIDE frontman Glen Benton of the new release: “What better way to celebrate a bunch of religious pilgrims coming to America than with ‘IN THE MINDS OF EVIL’? Pass the gravy!” Fans and critics agree. Here’s a taste of the album’s early accolades:

A rousing maelstrom of fleet, nimble top-tier death metal, razor-sharp jittery grooves and unadulterated malevolence” –Decibel

A ‘demonsend’ to long-time fans… You can uncross your fingers because this album was well worth waiting for” –New Noise Magazine

One of the year’s strongest death metal releases… ask Santa for this” –The Lair Of Filth

This is a great album from the satanic royalty of Florida death metal” –Sludgelord

DEICIDE can out ‘death metal’ any band on the planet” –Soundcrave Magazine

To commemorate the release of ‘IN THE MINDS OF EVIL,’ NEW NOISE MAGAZINE has decked the cover of their December 2013 issue with DEICIDE. For more information on NEW NOISE and their new issue, visit here: http://newnoisemagazine.com/?p=71324

Thanks to our director Lester, our cinematographer Andrew, all of the cast and crew, and the 1966 Chevelle for being a badass motherfucker.”

LIVE AT BRIXTON DIGIAL VIDEO AND AUDIO RELEASED DECEMBER 10th

 MASTODON, which released a limited-run lager in 2009, is once again retuning to one of their favorite pastimes: The enjoyment of quality handcrafted beer.  Fortuitous that British craft beer makers Signature Brew along with the members of Mastodon have teamed up to create Black Tongue Brew, an 8.3% ABV Double Black IPA.The beer is made in the U.K. and can be shipped to customers in the U.S., Canada, and other territories beginning December 3rd.  Mastodon fans and custom beer appreciators can now enjoy this feisty and festive dark beverage everywhere in the world.  Pre-order it here.

Signature Brew has described Black Tongue thusly: “Rumbling smoky notes are offset by the elixir of misbehaving punchy hops. Mosaic and Magnum hops to the front, with Carafa Special 3 Malt and Pale on the baseline. The band wanted to create a ‘pallet crusher’ and that’s certainly what has been delivered. A beer for enjoying slowly, letting the bombardment of flavour and intensity hit your tongue and explode with every sip.”

In addition to collaborating on the perfect brew, Mastodon has been in the studio working on their sixth album, which will be released by Warner Bros. Records next year. As previously announced, December 10th, is the release date for Live At Brixton – digital-only video and audio versions of their sold-out show at London’s O2 Academy that capped off the Atlanta-based band’s world tour in support of their critically acclaimed album The Hunter.
