Deiphago, that Filipino hoard of bestial black metal marauders, has just announced the completion of the band's fourth album, Into the Eye of Satan. It's been two long years since the band unleashed their last full length, titled Satan Alpha Omega, and the wait will likely be worth it for those of you who enjoy your heavy metal loud, raw, and feral. Into the Eye of Satan was recorded and mastered by Colin Marston of Krallice and Gorguts, while the album art was handled by prolific metal artist Axel Hermann who's also designed covers for the likes of Sodom and Grave.
The band (or their publicist) had this to say about the album:
This is a powerful, massive record that will push the limits of black metal to new grounds! Colin has captured the essence of Deiphago and unleashed it in its fullest sonic potential! Into the Eye of Satan explores very angular and challenging song structures, with unorthodox guitar scales and arpeggios, without losing all the chaotic elements that only Deiphago can deliver! We continue to challenge the current black metal scene that has become lame and stagnant. Forward movement under chaos!
If you're aching for a taste of the new material, Hell's Headbangers, the band's label, has provided a teaser video with some song clips as well as studio footage, and you can stream that video below. There's no official release date for the album yet, but it should be arriving sooner rather than later considering it's completely finished.
