The new single, ‘Maligned Into Deformity,’ from Raining Locusts is available right now to purchase and stream via The Charon Collective at raininglocuststcc.bandcamp.com/track/maligned-into-deformity-single.

With the exception of the broad label of metal itself, Raining Locusts largely defies categorization. Elements of death metal, black metal, thrash, and progressive metal can all be heard throughout the band’s music, yet none of those subgenres fully defines its sound. That refusal to fit neatly into a single stylistic box is what makes Raining Locusts so distinctive and appealing to listeners who have grown tired of the predictable formulas often found in extreme music.

The band’s new single, “Maligned Into Deformity,” serves as another powerful example of the musical depth explored by Canadian musician Royden Turple (Scarlet Oath, The Beckoning) and Texas-based multi-instrumentalist and producer Derek Corzine (Corzine Studio, Testimony of Apocalypse, Burial Extraction). Together, they continue to push beyond conventional boundaries, crafting music that is both challenging and rewarding for adventurous metal fans.

Lyrics

“And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy”

“So they worshipped the dragon
which gave power unto the beast
And they worshipped the beast saying
‘Who is like the beast?
Who is able to make war with him?'”

Maligned into deformity
Triggered abnormalities
Baseless Propositions
Distortions of reality
Diabolical
Diabolical deception

Your Kingdom Come
Majestic and Righteous One
All will bow

Maligned into Deformity
Coerced into conformity
Disinformation generation

Media Propaganda
Seducing Simple minds
The mental domination
Agenda of the swine
Crushing of autonomy
Chastising liberty
Succumb to their narrative
Cognitive slavery

Utopian empire to serve the elite
Divisive intent driven by their deceit
Philanthropic masquerade leading the sheep
Through Malevolence sown they will surely reap
When judgement comes (4x)
Utopian empire to serve the elite
Divisive intent driven by their deceit
Philanthropic masquerade leading the sheep
Through Malevolence sown they will surely reap

Maligned into deformity
Bureaucratic tyranny
Obscurant hideosity
Cloaked in resplendency
Diabolical
Diabolical deception

Your Kingdom Come
Majestic and righteous One
All will bow

Lusting for power
Lusting for Control
Enticing the masses
To relinquish their souls
Maligning conviction
Demonizing the truth
Laying their claim
On the souls of the youth

Your Kingdom will Come
Majestic and righteous one
Their reign will be undone.
