DEICIDE "To Hell With God" /Acryl Magnet/

64mm x 64mm

Debut DVD by the legendary American Death Metal band.
Recorded live and filmed on 4 cameras at the Mean Fiddler, London, 29th November 2004, this DVD features a full 17 track set with old classics and tracks from the last album "Scars Of The Crucifix", played by classic lineup of: Glen Benton (bass), Steve Asheim (drums), Jack Owen (guitar) and Dave Suzuki (guitar). The songs are great, pretty diverse selection here - starting with the new stuff, while heavy on the classics near the end. The crowd is pretty rowdy when the classics are played and that is definitely a plus.
There's also a bonus 30-minute documentary "Behind the Scars", featuring behind-the-scenes footage of Deicide recording "Scars Of The Crucifix", candid interviews at home and backstage with the band, exclusive footage from the rehearsal room and the formation of Deicide, and explanation of Glen's forehead branding. It really takes you inside the band. The documentary features the Hoffman brothers before they left (they left Deicide five days before the concert was recorded) and there's a lot of footage of them, they mainly discuss the band's history. Glen Benton is hilarious, he talks about an e-mail he received from some kid, he plays with a lizard before kicking it (!). Steve Asheim is a crazy bastard; he shows off his gun collection and goes to the shooting range to take pot-shots at some Osama targets.
This is a very solid DVD release from notorious Death Metal band. The production is good, the band sounds top notch, and the extra features go very well with the rest of the release. This DVD is a nice in depth glimpse into the history of Deicide, and their status at that time!!

Seventh full-length studio album by the legendary American Death Metal band.
Recorded at the legendary Morrisound Studios, Florida, "Scars of The Crucifix" heralded the return to form of one of the Death Metal originators who after leaving their previous label were full of venom, hate and aggression. Cleanly produced by Neil Kernon (Cannibal Corpse, Queensryche), the band sounds appropriately brutal with synchronized dual-guitar shredding by Eric Hoffman and Brian Hoffman (who also manage about 17 solos between the two of them), metronomic drumming by Steve Asheim, and Glen Benton's bass guitar and deep growl (sometimes double-tracked with higher-pitched vocals).
This is their first album under new label Earache Records. This was also the last album to feature the Hoffman brothers on guitar, after their 17 year tenure with the band.
Album was awarded a Silver disc after 100000 copies sold.

The eighth full-length studio album by the legendary American Death Metal band.
This is the first album recorded without brothers Hoffman who were dismissed from the band for skipping concerts. Guitarists Jack Owen (ex-Cannibal Corpse) and Ralph Santolla (ex-Iced Earth) took their places.
The album has received very high critical acclaim - mainly for unique as for Death Metal sound. Highly technical guitar works and an unusually high for Death Metal melodism make this album unique in sound.
According to the magazine Metal Storm at this album for the first time was an attempt to develop Dream Death Metal means introducing elements of trance in Death Metal. However, it should be noted that the theme of the album has not changed significantly although it has become dreamier.

Second full-length album by the legendary American Death Metal band.
Once again, Deicide unleash the beast going for much the same concept they did on the debut. The same level of blistering brutality with attention to songcraft is thrown into "Legion," and comes out as the better album.
This onslaught of ever-shifting double-bass and extreme guitar riffing is considered by many to be an essential (if not the premier) example of Deicide's world-class Death Metal. While bassist/vocalist and bandleader Glen Benton never accepted the categorization, his band helped define the early '90s Death movement with their somewhat complicated, ultra-heavy music and low, growling vocals. "Legion" stands out as a musically complex but familiar offering from the band. “Legion” is more musically ambitious than most other Deicide albums, incorporating more technical riffing and song structures. The band considers this album to be its most difficult, and claims it is too chaotic. When the Hoffman brothers quit the band, Eric Hoffman stated it is simply that Glen Benton refused to play longer sets and could not do technical riffing on his bass. Though the album has been praised by fans, "Dead But Dreaming" was the only track of this album that remained in their live set, though as recently as 2010 the band has begun playing "Trifixion" and "Holy Deception" as well. Live favorite "Trifixion" is indeed one of the better cuts from the release, but it's easier to consider this disc (and most records like it) as a whole.
Deicide's compositions and performances are solid and serious throughout, but Benton's outspoken anti-Christian beliefs and admitted Satanism are what first brought the band attention, and what ultimately separated them from secondary contributors to the genre. This radical philosophy is stated emphatically within the lyrics of "Legion" - just in case fans weren't paying attention to interviews and onstage rants. Listeners who admire Death and Extreme Metal in all its forms are generally aware of Deicide's abilities and outspoken antisocial beliefs, so newer Death Metal fans will do well to start off their collection with "Legion".
Unlike Deicide's first album, this release did not use any pitch shifters or harmonizers on Benton's vocals. However, delay, reverb, and multi tracking were among the studio manipulations used to get the vocal effects on the album.
The first track, "Satan Spawn, the Caco-Daemon", features a backward message. At about twenty seconds, a voice can be heard saying "Satan Spawn, the Caco-Daemon".
"Legion" is a legendary album. And out of all the Death Metal albums that can be considered legendary. This is Deicide’s pinnacle, one they would never surpass. A fundamental cornerstone of Death Metal, one of the all time best!!
