Long-running Swedish death metallers DERANGED are currently at Berno Studio (AMON AMARTH, THE CROWN, WITCHERY) recording what will be their ninth full-length album and first for Agonia Records. The follow-up to 2011's "Cut Carve Rip Serve", titled "Struck By A Murderous Siege", will be released on October 28. A rough-mix excerpt from one of the new songs, "Hello From The Gutters", accompanied by a video from the studio, can be streamed below.
