DERANGED
1995 - Rated-X.
1999 - III
way more Helter Skelter.

September 1995 - 2025: 30 years of: Rated-X.

Indecent and obscene.

Sweden's Second Wave was more of a melodic matter, yet DERANGED made sure brutal deathmetal was on the menu. After Architects Of Perversions EP featuring leads from Michael Amott and Sculptures Of The Dead EP ...their full public psychotic actions would be rated X.

The assault starts with "Black Seed Of Vengeance", a vile forced insemination. The sickness ups on "(Clim)Axe", as the victims piles on "Killing Spree". Pure hate as the band "Unleash My Hunger...", always stealth and rabid "...As A Wolf". Their brutal reprise of "Paint It Black" from THE ROLLING STONES is an interesting take on the immortal classic.

Swedish NYDM. A real menace, a real body-count, from a real deathmetal band. DERANGED shall mutilate more tombs on 1998's High On Blood CD.

October 1999 - 2024: 25 years of: III

A grisly work of art.

Sick deathmetal not from Tampa and not from the Tri-State area ...but from fuckin' Hjärup in cold Sweden. With strong ties of early Swedish-death origins and fully butt-fuckin' the melodic Gothenburg-scene ...DERANGED keeps the brutality and gore alive.

Not for the weak, as someone gets "Ripped, Raped, Randomized" as these deranged individual "Laugh At Human Tragedy". The unstoppable "Compulsive Urge To Kill" is sure to give Richard Ramirez one of his trademarked smirks. Blood-soaked chains drips "Through The Realm Of Torture", as more rotting deathmetal violence ups into a massive "Thrill Kill" spree. The Japan CD-only reprise of PENTAGRAM's "Relentless" provides deathnroll-cred to this rated-x experience.

DERANGED proudly signed this third death-certificate, in an era when brutal-death dwelled deep in the undergrounds. Barbarically performed, these offerings truly are sculptures of the dead.

Now a trio, the band welcomes new vocalist / bassist Johan Anderberg. The repulsive III CD, is all blood, guts, sadism and other lovely deviancy deathmetal fans worship. Always high on blood, the killings would get more frequent, starting with 2001's Deranged CD.
