The Road to Hell's Headbash: Deiphago - Into the Eye of Satan


This stream is presented as part of our Road To Hells Headbash series; one new song from Hell’s Headbangers Records every Monday until Hells Headbash, this Labor Day weekend in Cleveland, OH.

Holy shit, look at that cover. That cover fucking rules.

Of the many bands leveling the Agora at this year’s Hell’s Headbash, few are as purely representative of the ethos behind Hell’s Headbangers as Deiphago. They’ve been creating utter sonic chaos longer than 99% of their peers, they do so with complete dedication and vital ferocity, and their hailing from the Phillipines reminds the listener of metal’s global nature. The truly evil material is found in places unexpected. And make no mistake, Deiphago is true evil.

Sorry, look at that cover again. What are most other bands thinking?

But though their early demos were deeply influential on the extreme metal scene during its gestation, the band is only now getting an opportunity to record full-length studio albums. The band’s fourth album, Into The Eye of Satan, explodes into the world this Friday, and though it retains much of the anger of 2012’s Satan Alpha Omega, the band has also embrace a truly grimy tone this time around, sounding more like a sneer than a snarl. Stream it below!

Deiphago will descend upon Hell’s Headbash Saturday, 9/5, at 7:30 PM. Buy the new record there—that cover will look good on an LP.
