Deicide is the debut album by the US death metal band Deicide .
Emergence
According to Glen Benton, he worked on the material for several years and "just needed the right people, the right time and the right circumstances for everything to fit together." Due to the content, the companies responsible for the typesetting and design refused; the typesetting company “even refused to get the lyrics ready for printing because the wording of 'Lunatic Of God's Creation' and 'Sacrificial Suicids' [sic!] was a bit too harsh . So shocked by all that had been heard and read, the employees of the cassette manufacturing company also refused to work on the project under threat of strike. In Sweden the release of the new vinyl has been banned entirely. "

Music style and lyrics
The album “is [...] ultra- brutal and offers the booming bass drums , deadly roaring and sawing guitars that are common for this genre , sometimes very heavy and then again hyper-ultra-fast. Despite all the hacking, there is always a clear structure in the songs and one or the other melody can be heard - at least partially - according to Benton, "someone from Florida" "influenced Deicide in some way," and he did I don't really care about listening to bands from this area either, I'm not interested in that. Deicide just tries to be as sick and heavy as humanly possible. ”The lyrics deal with “ hideous things ” according to John Duke of Metal Hammer , with Benton emphasizing that everything he writes is reality and not“ bullshit ".
Reviews
According to Wolfgang Schäfer from Rock Hard , with this album “the eternal battle for the death metal throne [...] could confidently go into the next round, the chances for DEICIDE are not bad. You can't quite catch up with bigger bands like Death , Morbid Angel or Pestilence , but the four choirboys are in good hands in the neighborhood of bands like Obituary . And who knows, maybe someday ... You know, time will tell, but only Satan knows. "Andrea Nieradzik from Metal Hammer described Deicide as" [for] this profession [...] a neatly solved task, even if the madness by bands like Morbid Angel, Entombed and Death has not yet been achieved ”. Her colleague John Duke is of the opinion that Deicide's “surprising debut album” secures the band “in the League of Death a place before Obituary and just behind Sepultura ”.
