DEICIDE Release "Thou Begone" Lyric Video

New Studio Album 'IN THE MINDS OF EVIL' Out November 25

Band Available Now For Interviews

Deicide - 2013 promo


 It's Halloween, and metal legends Deicide are embracing the spirit by dropping their "Thou Begone" lyric video on unsuspecting hoards of trick or treaters - and this one's definitely a treat.


"Look up... Look down... Look all around.... Right his wrong! Thou begone!" cackles Deicide frontman Glen Benton about the diabolical "Thou Begone" lyric video. To watch the video, click here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZPMpNWMcSM.

"Thou Begone" is the second track to be released from the band's upcoming new studio album 'IN THE MINDS OF EVIL', which will hit stores November 25 in North America via Century Media Records and is the eleventh studio recording of an illustrious career spanning more than 25 years. Produced by Jason Suecoff [ALL THAT REMAINS, TRIVIUM, DEATH ANGEL, BATTLECROSS], the album features cover art taken from Australian artist Simon Cowell's painting "Power Of The Mind."

The band previously released the title track from 'IN THE MINDS OF EVIL', which can be listed to here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSkc-ZISYQM.

Red Fang: Release Bonus Track + Begin Shooting New Video


 
Red Fang's 'Whales and Leeches' has brought the band to new heights of success debuting at #66 on the Billboard 200. Now, the band are revealing a bonus track from the record on the Relapse Records YouTube page. Listen HERE.

The raging new album dropped earlier this month and the band are preparing for the second leg of their US tour with The Shrine, Indian Handcrafts, Cancer Bats, and Radkey. But when it comes to Red Fang, everyone wants to know when the next insane music video is coming out. You'll be relieved to know that the band are working once more with Whitey McConnaughy, the mastermind behind the "Prehistoric Dog," "Wires," and "Hank is Dead" videos. Shooting begins soon but the band needs your help! The band are looking for video extras to play beer zombies in the Portland, OR area this Tuesday November 5th. Get more info HERE.

Christian Mistress: Announce West Coast Dates


American Heavy Metal warriors CHRISTIAN MISTRESS announce a 3-date Pacific Northwest takeover coming this December. This will be the band’s first performances in over a year. The Olympia, WA quintet will perform in Seattle and Portland as well as their hometown with support from Vexx, Occult SS, Paralyzer, and Usnea. See a list of dates below.

CHRISTIAN MISTRESS released their Relapse Records debut Possession last year to rave reviews from an eclectic group of metal purveyors. SPIN claimed that the band “might rule the world,” while living metal legend Fenriz of Darkthrone praised the group for playing “heavy metal the old way, the exact way we enjoy it ourselves.”

Posession is streaming in its entirety on CHRISTIAN MISTRESS' Band Camp Page HERE. The album is available via iTunes as well as the Relapse Web Store HERE. 

Toxic Holocaust: Release New Video + Album Out Now

Toxic's whirlwind of a new album 'Chemistry of Consciousness' was released into the world this past Tuesday. Grab a copy from Relapse Mailorder or stream the record from the Relapse YouTube page HERE. Don't forget to catch the thrash madmen on tour with Ramming Speed and In Defence.
