Deicide
Originally known as Amon,
Deicide was one of the mainstays of the early Floridian death
metal scene (alongside
Death
and
Morbid Angel ,
among others) that sprung to live in the late 80's,
Led by the ever controversial Glen Benton (he with the inverted
cross on his forehead),
neither their old-school style nor their
heavily anti-Christian lyrics
have wavered much over the years, the band sticking to a tried
and true formula that has largely served them well,
And while they may never match their landmark first two albums
(
Deicide and
Legion , released in 1990 and 1992 respectively),
they've continued to rate highly as a potent death metal force.
The lineup remained steady until 2004, when the guitarist brothers
Hoffman left the band (and/or were kicked out)
due to various personal differences.
Benton and drummer Steve Asheim eventually settled on
guitarists Jack Owen and Ralph Santolla, both metal veterans,
to take their place (though they, too, have since been replaced).
The Hoffmans eventually resurrected the old band name, and as
Amon
released an album in 2012.
