Deicide’s latest album, Banished By Sin, continues the band’s tradition of delivering a forceful and crushing sound that fans have come to expect. The album falls in line with the band’s more recent works, showcasing a bludgeoning style reminiscent of In the Minds of Evil. While there are familiar elements that harken back to their earlier classics, tracks like “From Unknown Heights You Shall Fall” and “Faithless” introduce a trashier feel that adds a new dimension to their sound.
Despite the lack of outright surprises, Banished By Sin offers moments of unexpected brilliance. Songs like “Woke From God” and “A Trinity Of None” stand out with their stellar songwriting and captivating arrangements. The intricate guitar work and relentless drumming create a powerful synergy that defines modern Deicide.
Throughout the album, Deicide maintains a solid presence, with tracks like the title song and “Ritual Defied” showcasing their signature death metal intensity. The production quality of the album, overseen by Glenn Benton, plays a significant role in enhancing the overall experience. Benton’s emphasis on preserving the raw energy of the music shines through, thanks to the meticulous work of producer Josh Wilbur.
While some may find the cover art style unconventional, Benton’s unwavering commitment to his vision is commendable. As long as Deicide continues to deliver albums of this caliber, fans can expect a worthwhile musical journey with each release.

As fans eagerly anticipate future releases and live shows, Deicide’s enduring legacy in the realm of death metal continues to resonate with audiences worldwide.
