In the Minds of Evil in Bloomington, MN

In the Minds of Evil
, the 11th long-player from venerable Tampa, Florida-based death metal prognosticators
Deicide
, invokes the bluesy, blistering, and robust cacophony of early albums like
Legion
(1992) and
Once Upon the Cross
(1995). The first outing for the group to feature guitarist
Kevin Quirion
, who joined the band on the road in 2011 in support of that year's relatively lackluster
To Hell with God
,
features 11 high-quality slabs of muscular, vintage-sounding death metal with highlights arriving via the groove-laden title cut, the neck-snapping "Misery of One," and the brash, blasphemous, and nearly hummable "Kill the Light of Christ." ~ James Christopher Monger
