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.
