DEICIDE debuts The Light Defeated Stout beer by 3 Floyds
15-02-2024
With Deicide’s special Decibel Magazine Metal & Beer Fest headlining set only a month away, they reveal an exclusive beer collaboration between the Florida death metal legends and the Indiana craft beer institution 3 Floyds. The Light Defeated—named after the closing track from Deicide’s forthcoming new album, Banished by Sin (out April 26 on Reigning Phoenix Music)—will make its pouring debut on April 12-13 at the Philadelphia edition of Decibel’s long-running extreme metal and craft beer event.
“When I first heard the lambs bleating in the opening of ‘Satan Spawn, the Caco-Daemon’ I was hooked,” says 3 Floyds’ Brewmaster Chris Boggess. “Growing up in the buckle of the Bible Belt it was the sickest, scariest thing I’d ever heard. Deicide are one the classic American death metal bands. And The Light Defeated is brewed in their honor, our take on a classic American style stout with the ABV coming in at 6.66%.”
An extremely limited number of “Metal & Beer” tickets—a deluxe ticket that includes unlimited samples of all 15 of the breweries all weekend—granting access to The Light Defeated are still available. But unlike Glen Benton’s hatred of Christ, they won’t be around much longer, so grab yours now.
DEICIDE have recently released their provocative new single “Sever The Tongue” alongside a video, via Reigning Phoenix Music. The track was recorded at Smoke & Mirrors, with DEICIDE at the helm of production. Engineering was provided by former VENOM INC drummer Jeramie Kling, with aid of DEICIDE guitarist Taylor Nordberg . The final mixing and mastering was done by Josh Wilbur. The song taken from the upcoming DEICIDE album ‘Banished By Sin‘, which is expected to be released somewhere this year.

In addition to the single, DEICIDE has collaborated with David Brodsky from My Good Eye: Music Visuals for a visually arresting video that complements the track’s blasphemous undertones. With Brodsky at the helm, the video promises to be a cinematic journey through darkness and defiance. Allison Woest returns to produce, alongside a talented team dedicated to bringing the song’s thematic elements to life visually.
“Banished By Sin” looms on the horizon, ready to cement DEICIDE‘s legacy and influence in the death metal scene. The album is a testament to the band’s unwavering commitment to their craft, promising a collection of tracks that are both ferocious and unapologetically blasphemous.
“I’ve been sitting in a dark corner for several years now,” states Benton. “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 people’s 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,” Benton says. “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.”
