Photo credit: Deidra Kling Caution: Viewers are about to plunge into a realm of darkness, blasphemy, and unrelenting brutality as death metal titans Deicide unveil their latest offering to the metal pantheon. With the release of their thirteenth studio album, "Banished By Sin," the Florida-based band reaffirms their status as pioneers of extreme music. The album's lead single, "From Unknown Heights You Shall Fall," arrives alongside a visually disturbing and emotionally charged music video. Exploring themes of religious corruption and ultimate downfall, the song encapsulates Deicide's signature sound – thunderous riffs, explosive drums, and the menacing growls of frontman Glen Benton. The accompanying video, though graphic and intense, serves as a stark reminder of the band's uncompromising approach to their art. Critics have been quick to praise the album's ferocity and musical prowess. New Noise hails it as "badass, fast, heavy, groovy, energetic, and fun," while Metal Sucks recognizes its measure against the band's formidable legacy. For those willing to descend into the abyss, "Banished By Sin" promises an auditory onslaught across 12 tracks that delve into themes of darkness, sin, and corruption. From the relentless assault of "Sever The Tongue" to the haunting melodies of "Trinity Of None," each track is a testament to Deicide's unwavering commitment to their craft. Glen Benton, the band's iconic frontman, reflects on the album's creation, stating, "I've been sitting in a dark corner for several years now...I got inspired writing this new record—it was like flipping a switch." He describes the album as a return to the band's '90s style, infused with modern elements, and promises a vocal performance that will leave listeners stunned. Joined by guitarist Kevin Quirion, drummer Steve Asheim, and the newest addition to the lineup, guitarist Taylor Nordberg, Deicide proves they are as potent and relevant as ever. Nordberg's songwriting prowess adds depth to the album, ensuring a diverse yet cohesive sonic experience. "Banished By Sin" will be available in various formats, including limited edition vinyl and cassette, jewel case CD, and digital download. With each track carefully crafted to challenge the faithful and reward the wicked, Deicide invites listeners to join them on a blasphemous crusade through the darkest corners of the human psyche.

Voraath - L-R - Tylor Kohl - Guitar, Paul McBride - Bass, Joshua Ward - Drums, Keys, Vocals, Studio Guitars, Chelsea Marrow - Vocals, Daniel Presnell - Guitar Voraath, sci-fi horror-inspired extreme metal hailing from the Carolinas, USA, is set to captivate metal enthusiasts with their latest video single “The Barrens” off their debut full-length album “Vol 1: The Hymn of the Hunters” slated for release on June 17, 2024, via Exitus Strategem Records, and brings forth a unique amalgamation of bone-crushing brutal riffs and epic soundscapes. The band comments on the first look at the album: “This was our first song as a band, a song that encapsulated the brutal and melancholic nature of post-traumatic stress (PTSD). The video is a series of flashbacks from the point of view of two of the hunters. One is experiencing loss and betrayal; meanwhile being pursued by a savage otherworldly entity (which shows the layers of coping with one tragedy while fighting to simply exist). The other is the feeling of hopelessness that turns to hate and that hate consumes those around her.” The music on “The Barrens” carries out like a metal movie soundtrack, with aggressive peaks and demented valleys, all culminating into the grand apex of the final segway, an epiphany of taking back control (live to fight another day). Voraath hopes this track brings awareness to the struggles and trauma faced by those coping with PTSD. “The Barrens” is not just a single; it's a glimpse into the vast metal multiverse that Voraath is meticulously crafting. The band's ideology revolves around merging extreme metal with storytelling, transcending the boundaries of a traditional music act and transforming into a complex brand with a rich lore to explore alongside their music. They are recommended listening for those interested in Cattle Decapitation, Dimmu Borgir, and Acid Bath. Watch and listen to the music video for “The Barrens” via MetalInsider HERE. In additional news, VORAATH will be supporting Gorgatron and Casket Robbery on the "Mechanical Necrosis Tour" this coming June and July (dates listed below) along with a performance at this year's Michigan Metal Fest on August 24th in Battle Creek alongside Mushroomhead, (hed) PE, Gideon and lots more.
