Comments Deitus on the new single: “‘Voyeur’ is our first ever collaborative track and it was treated as a project unto itself. It’s an exploration of the direct terror of sleep paralysis through the eyes of suffering lead vocalist, Toni Coe-Brooker.
“The song itself is far removed from anything we’ve previously done artistically. We painstakingly crafted an emotive canvass for Toni to deliver her chilling performance. What results is an undeniably powerful soundscape and cinematic music video.
Guest vocalist Toni Coe-Brooker adds, “I was invited by Deitus to channel my childhood trauma from nyctophobia, which stems from my endless struggle with sleep-paralysis, into ‘Voyeur.’ It was agony at times to delve into areas of that emotional territory because it is still something I suffer with today.”
Formed in 2004 in York (UK), Deitus create sonic terror through the medium of black metal with no limits and no compromises. The band’s core line-up has remained a stable 3-piece since their inception, taking inspiration from such artists as Dissection, Slayer, GG Allin, Fields of the Nephilim and Bathory.
Deitus produce raw, dark and melodic soundscapes that have helped to win them high praise for their notorious, blood-drenched, rabid, violent live performances across the UK, Europe, United States and Mexico. They have received attention for bringing an unpredictable and dangerous element back into the live setting and have played alongside such esteemed bands as Mayhem, Shining, Hellhammer, Rotting Christ and also at various festivals across the globe including Bloodstock Festival (UK), Netherlands Deathfest (NL), Odyssey To Blasphemy (DE), Winter Rising (FR) and Sangre Y Fuego para Mictlantecuhtli (MX).
New album Irreversible was engineered by Greg Chandler at Priory Recording Studios with mixing and mastering completed by Tore Stjerna at Necromorbus Studio and cover art by Santiago Caruso. It follows on from their two highly-acclaimed studio albums to date, Acta Non Verba (2016) and Via Dolorosa (2018).
Deitus conclude: “Irreversible’ will be released via our new label, Candlelight Records, this summer. This partnership, with such an esteemed label, will only serve to inflict the sinister and vicious art of Deitus to an even wider audience. ‘Irreversible’ will consolidate Deitus as masters of our craft whilst at the same time introducing a much more diverse and unique sound overall. We won’t give too much away at this point but there are numerous guest artist appearances and projects in motion; expect surprises between now and 14th July.”
