Deicide Drop Their Latest Single “Sever The Tongue”

Death metal stalwarts Deicide are back with another diabolical new track from their highly anticipated studio effort Banished By Sin with “Sever The Tongue.”

With nearly 40 years of experience under their belts, Deicide have long been among the most influential death metal bands out there. But if you thought they were slowing down at all in 2024, then you’re sorely mistaken. The song’s just as brutal as you’d expect and it comes with an equally blasphemous new music video directed by the ever-talented David Brodsky for My Good Eye: Music Visuals.

Speaking of the new single, Glen Benton said “Sever The Tongue” and the new album at large came from a place of wanting to reconnect with the Deicide of old.

“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. 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.”
