Costa Rica based bestial black/death metallers Deiphago will release their highly anticipated fifth album, I, The Devil, on 30th April via Hells Headbangers. The album precludes a full European tour to celebrate the band's 30th anniversary (dates are below).
Deiphago are arguably the most violent band on the planet, as well as one of the most envelope-pushing. Over the course of four albums - 2006's Satanik Eon, 2009's Filipino Antichrist, 2012's Satan Alpha Omega, and 2015's Into The Eye Of Satan, the latter three all released by Hells Headbangers - and with a history spanning 30 years, this power-trio have challenged the norms of black metal, death metal, even extreme metal in general, resulting in a catalog that's unchallenged and untouchable.
Always pushing themselves, Deiphago teamed up with producer Kurt Ballou (Converge) to record I, The Devil, with mastering handled by Brad Boatright (Audiosiege), and the legendary Joe Petago returns to do the album's cover art. Featuring eight songs in 40 minutes, I, The Devil sees Deiphago taking their ever-singular "experimental hyper-speed satanic bestial metal" down avenues both more violent and more angular.
Says founding vocalist/bassist V.666: "This album is a celebration of our 30 years of existence, a cultivation of all our experiences since the band started in 1989. We have worked hard on this album, and it is the best music we have ever released, filled with dark moods and reeking of destruction. We present to you the essence of pure black metal as it was meant to be like in the early '90s, when bands didn't sound the same. This is our magnum opus that will be revered right next to the groundbreaking black metal albums of the early '90s."
Continuing, V.666 promises: "This will surpass everything not just in the bestial black/death genre, but the whole black metal scene as a whole. This album stands on its own as diverse and unconventional, filled with monstrous dissonances and intolerable cacophony. It is perfecting the uncontrolled chaos. Kurt Ballou has done a great job as producer, engineer, and mixer, capturing our evil intensity. Normal people will not understand the music, as we have put such a high standard over all the typical trends of today. Beware the release of I, The Devil."
