Known the world over as one of the founding fathers of Death Metal, Deicide stand strong to this day as one of the most influential and controversial metal bands ever. With a relentlessly brutal sound and uncompromisingly blasphemous lyrics, Deicide helped set the standards for Death Metal well over a decade ago and have maintained those standards ever since.

Emerging from the Tampa, Florida metal underground, Deicide began life in 1987 under the moniker, Amon. Consisting of frontman Glen Benton on bass and vocals, brothers Eric and Brian Hoffman on guitar, and Steve Asheim on drums, Amon commanded a local cult following with their extreme brand of Satanic metal. Amon’s demos caught the attention of Roadrunner Records and Roadrunner signed the band, who renamed themselves Deicide.

Roadrunner released Deicide’s blistering self-titled debut in 1990. Recorded at Tampa’s Morrisound Studio (the legendary studio where Deicide would go on to record all its albums), “Deicide” would one day be hailed as one of the “Top 100 Metal Albums of the 90’s” by England’s metal authority, Terrorizer Magazine. In 1992, Deicide followed up their debut with “Legion”. “Legion” was an instant success, further establishing Deicide’s furious musical instensity and vengeful anti-Christian stance, and securing Deicide’s place at the forefront of the American Death Metal scene.
