Deeds of Flesh to release Nucleus 2020-09-28 by Fernando Alves STAFF | 7 Comments | Technical brutal death metal pioneers Deeds of Flesh return after a seven year hiatus with their ninth studio album Nucleus, out December 11th via Unique Leader Records (Jan 15th on Vinyl). The band also unveiled the first single from the album 'Alyen Scourge'.
'Alyen Scourge' lyric video can be streamed below.
Nucleus is the band's first release since the tragic passing guitarist / vocalist and Unique Leader founder Erik Lindmark, who lost a battle with Sclerosis 2018. Nucleus features guest performances from some of the biggest names in extreme metal to celebrate his life and contribution to metal. Vocalist Jacoby Kingston is joined by:

Press release goes as follows:
With a mix of the old and new style of DEEDS OF FLESH writing, this album is the completion of a story that began with Of What's to Come (2008) and ran through Portals to Canaan (2013). The music was written by Erik Lindmark (RIP), Craig Peters, Ivan Munguia and Darren Cesca, and had been recorded and partially mixed for almost four years. When Erik Lindmark passed in 2018, vocalist Jacoby Kingston came out of retirement to help finish the album. Alongside long-time drummer Mike Hamilton, they finished the story arc, wrote the lyrics and made the vocal arrangements for Nucleus.
Guitarist Craig Peters commented: "After we started the writing process for Nucleus about 7 years ago, I'm very glad that now fans will be able to hear what we've been working on. This album is special to me because I got to work closely with Erik on the material to really craft a cinematic experience for the listener. With the passing of Erik we were all saddened by the news and not sure where things would go with the album and the band. It only seemed right to have Jacoby and Mike come back into the fold to help finish this album. They're such a huge part of the Deeds of flesh legacy that I couldn't see the album completed any other way. Nucleus completes this amazing story that Erik started with Of What's To Come with a fusion of older and newer musical elements of the band with stuff fans have never heard before. Get ready because this album is an intense journey!"
Vocalist Jacoby Kingston commented: "After losing Erik, it didn’t feel right to have anyone else do the vocals on this album, so I knew coming out of retirement only made sense. Mike Hamilton and I made a plan to tackle the story and lyrics as a team and it came out better than I could have hoped for. Writing and performing on this album brought me back to the early days of recording “Gradually Melted” and “Trading Pieces”, when everything was new and exciting. We put 100% into this album and I think it really shows. The dream team of guest vocalists that laid down tracks on this album is ridiculous and humbling at the same time. We are honored to have them, and I think fans will be excited about it once they learn who is on there. The music is freaking crazy, but it’s definitely a Deeds album. We’ve managed to mix some of the old and new together to come out with a hybrid form for a new era."

It's great to see Jacoby Kingston back. The track is a continuation of the band's most recent sci-fi sound.

The image of a bunch of guys t-posing is hilarious but otherwise this song kicks ass.
The lineup of guest vocalists is pretty crazy.

This has got to be one of the coolest fucking things in metal history

This song is wild.
Was also pretty cool to recognise the solo at ~3:57 from the studio update from years back https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozNTIQaiIEs
