10 Greatest Old School Death Metal Albums

3. Deicide - Deicide

Deicide-LogoTrack List: 1. Lunatic of God's Creation 2. Sacrificial Suicide 3. Oblivious to Evil 4. Dead by Dawn 5. Blaspherereion 6. Deicide 7. Carnage in the Temple of the Damned 8. Mephistopheles 9.Day of Darkness 10. Crucifixation Stand Out Track - Sacrificial Suicide. A track performed at lightning speed which remains as scintillatingly sacrilegious as ever. Yet another debut from a Florida based band, when Deicide released their debut album in 1990 it took the world by storm and sold enough copies to seal their place among death's metal elite. Glenn Benton, with an inverted cross self-branded into his forehead, barked, screeched and growled through 10 tracks of vicious, astonishingly blasphemous and confrontational Death Metal. Drummer Steve Asheim's power and dexterity is phenomenal and as chief songwriter for Deicide he really is the driving force behind the band. Follow up albums 'Legion' and 'Once Upon The Cross' are equally accomplished but this debut is the epitome of pure evil and these 10 tracks demand your attention. Satan would be pleased!

I love Heavy Metal, and generally anything that involves a guitar and loud noises, so I figured it was about time I put all the useless information in my head to good use and start writing a few things. Most of the time I'll be writing nonsense but occasionally I may surprise myself and appear half-way knowledgable.....but you can be the judge of that. Thanks for your fleeting attention!
