Back in my “God Hating” days I used to like Deicide. I used to like the growling vocals of death metal and Glen Benton can growl it up with the best of them. Another (Yes another) Florida based death metal band, Deicide formed in the late 80’s as Carnage and soon after Benton joined the band the name was changed to Amon. Roadrunner records forced them to once again change the name due to legalities in lyrical content similarity in a King Diamond song so hence the name Deiced was formed.
Amon: Feating the Beast is a compilation of early demos from the band and is a really good CD considering the method of recording that was used. Lunatic of God’s Creation is the best song on this CD in my opinion.
Legion, the second record released as Deicide. Filled with the usual anti-christian lyrics and Satanic overtone…honestly I don’t know why I bought this back then.
Oh now I remember…yeah, my god hating days, which leads me into Once Upon The Cross. When I saw the cover I was I was in love. The body of “Christ” blasphemously mutilated autopsy style and covered with a bloody sheet. The lyrical content of this hold some truth to the problems within the Christian world, such as molestation by priests and other corrupt sectors of the Christian religion. No organized religion is perfect and everything has it’s flaws. Honestly, how many times can you write an album about the same thing over and over. Ok, Glen. You hate God and love Satan…we get the picture.
Announced earlier this year, Deicide are on hiatus…does anyone really care?

I saw Dee Snider tell a story on VH1 once where he said Glenn Benton refused to work a show on Christmas because he wanted to be home with his kids.
Gimmick much?

If he was a real satanist he would have sacrificed his kids to the devil along time ago…pussy!

deicide is a very talented band and should be treated as so. as for gimmicks well who would’nt want to spend x mas with their kids, if your looking for gimmicks check out slipknot or better known as slipcock. and i know a fair thing or to about satanism and sacrificing your childern isnt part of it not even in Theistic Satanism, or other wise known as traditional satanism.

Yeah, that sacrificing his children was just a joke. I read the “Satanic Bible” written by Anton Lavey and it’s nothing more than perception from one man. No one can really say what true Satanism is or what it consists of because I truly believe that Christians invented Satan as a way for people to fear something else besides God, himself.
