"Deeds Of Ruthless Violence" is DERANGED's tenth studio album (successor to "Struck by a Murderous Siege" from 2016) and first one to feature new vocalist, Johan Bergström (Visceral Bleeding). It was recorded at Berno Studio (Amon Amarth, The Crown, Witchery) in Malmö. The album's artwork keeps the aesthetics as its predecessor, and was created by Mike Hrubovcak (Grave, Six Feet Under, Sinister).
"It's death metal like it was meant to be", says drummer and mastermind Rikard Wermén, who's been in charge of the band's steering wheel for nearly thirty years. "No gimmicks, no costumes, no stage show, no make up, no bullshit. Just straight up ruthless metal the violent and intense way".
Born in Sweden in 1991, DERANGED are seasoned veterans of the death metal scene. The band's name was derived from a horror movie, and likewise horror became the main source of its artistic inspiration and lyrical expression. Contrary to its roots, DERANGED distincts itself from other Swedish bands that started their journey around 1990's, and encompasses a different approach altogether, with a nod towards American death metal. Their sound is faster, technical, with several deathgrind and groove elements.

Between Pettersson’s and Rogga’s projects Transcending Obscurity could be successful not signing anyone else. Staggering output from those two. This is probably the top of the list of albums I overlooked last year. Metallurgical Fire

Been there, seen that.
Ippocalyptica is right. A band capable of pulling off SUCH A SHOW without their own instruments has my respect forever. YomaBarr

I cannot imagine anyone with any fondness for death metal disliking this album. And at DR10, this is YET ANOTHER testament to the stupidity of the loudness war. Yes, contrary to popular opinion, metal is more brutal when it isn't crushed within an inch of its life. EthelTheFrog
