God is a lie! Unholy things are coming up ... on July 30th deepest abysses will be opened again, to unleash Glen Benton and his hellish myrmidons upon mankind. The titletrack is program and those who have already listened to DEICIDE's tunes in a contemplative hour knows, here there won't be any captives.
With In Torment In Hell the American lads already serve up their seventh studio album. Also DEICIDE can look back at more than 10 years band history now. This is impressive, also. And as co-founder of the American Death Metal scene they are already legends ... with a bunch of copycats.
Now you may looking forward to an extraordinarily brutal, sick, merciless and all in ruins bringing hell-forged longplayer, dripping with blood. Once again the cross turners besieged for their records the Morrisound Studio in Florida. But, as your copy is rotating the first time in your player you will be surprised what kind of bad sound you get. Even though heavy and brutal as hell it sounds like a rehearsal-room or a garage record (editor's note: doesn't sound everything recorded at Morrisound sound like a garage record, heh *lol*). A look on their purgatory cleaned digital home will give you the solution. The bastards booked intentional the smallest studio there to get exactly this homelike and cuddely feeling and garage sound. I knew it ... it is "in" now...
Tracks like Imminent Doom, Worry In The House Of Thieves or more clearly songs like Christ Don't Care and the titletrack give you a brutal kick to your fucking posterior. Groovy powerful riffs, neckbreaking highspeed parts and Glen's incomparable voice will let you lose your head ... because of headbanging of course. In lyrical respects the witchburners compaign against everything that is even touched by christianity and satan is waving the advertising banner ... as usual.
A reason to nag is the pretty short running time with 31:02 minutes. They could have pasted one track more on this brute barrage. Well, and this garage sound kills the power a bit.
Nevertheless, DEICIDE are and will be one of the benchmarks of brutally sick and merciless Death Metal ever!
