Floridian death metal pioneers Deicide have released an official ouija board. The Scars of the Crucifix board – named after the band's 2004 album of the same name – is available to purchase now from Earache Records, and was produced in collaboration with frontman Glen Benton, a man who, lest we forget, once burned an inverted cross into his own forehead. So he's well qualified for this sort of thing.
According to Earache, the "Deicide-inspired spirit board is here to help you bridge the gap between the living and the dead," which all sounds rather lovely, but be warned: possible dangers include "speaking in tongues, sudden urges to headbang, and an inexplicable desire to learn death metal growls."
The solid wood board features Deicide's decidedly blasphemous imagery and includes a planchette (that's the little thing you move around the board when receiving messages from "the other side") adorned with the Rune-style symbol that most recently appeared on the cover of the 2022 compilation Deicide – Crucifixation: The Early Years.
The news arrives as Deicide embark on their Banished By Sin tour in the company of Krisiun, Inferi and Cloak. The first show is tomorrow night (September 5) at The Masquerade (Hell) in Atlanta, GA, and the trek climaxes on October 11 with a hometown show at the Orpheum in Tampa, FL.
