DERANGED
DEEDS OF RUTHLESS VIOLENCE (RED SMOKED VINYL)

DERANGED are seasoned veterans of the death metal scene, born in Sweden in 1991. The band's name was derived from a horror movie, and likewise horror became the main source of its artistic inspiration and lyrical expression. Contrary to its Swedish roots and influential presence of act's such as Entombed, Grave or Unleashed, DERANGED's music encompassed a different approach altogether, with a nod towards American death metal back in the day. The band's sound is much faster and technical, with several death-grind and groove elements. "Deeds Of Ruthless Violence", the new album, is best described by drummer and mastermind Rikard Wermén, who's been in charge of the steering wheel for nearly thirty years: "It’s death metal like it was meant to be. No gimmicks, no costumes, no stage show, no make-up, no bullshit. Just straight up ruthless metal the violent and intense way".
