DEICIDE announces the launch of their intense new single, “From Unknown Heights You Shall Fall”, which is released alongside a emotionally disturbing and deeply graphic music video. This debut aligns with the release of their powerful new album, “Banished By Sin”, on April 26th via Reigning Phoenix Music.
“From Unknown Heights You Shall Fall” showcases DEICIDE’s masterful blend of thunderous riffs and explosive drum work, complemented by Glen Benton’s powerful vocals. The song explores themes of religious corruption leading to ultimate downfall, echoing the relentless intensity DEICIDE is celebrated for.
The music video is both dark and compelling, featuring symbolic representations of suicide and fall from grace. Due to its graphic content and intense themes, viewer discretion is strongly advised.
“Banished By Sin” is finally here, ready to cement DEICIDE ‘s legacy and influence in the Death Metal scene. The album is a testament to the band’s unwavering commitment to their craft, promising a collection of tracks that are both ferocious and unapologetically blasphemous.
Glen Benton states: “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”, he adds. “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.”
