Infernal Craftsmanship: Smoke & Mirrors Studios
Crafted in the infernal workshops of Smoke & Mirrors, “Sever The Tongue” is a testament to Deicide’s unwavering commitment to musical devastation. With Jeramie Kling at the engineering helm and Taylor Nordberg’s adept musicianship, the track’s sonic onslaught is further amplified by the masterful mixing and mastering of Josh Wilbur.
