Deicide - Deicide
This is the debut from Deicide, and it’s sure to cause some trouble from the PMRC. The lyrics are as Satanic as any I’ve ever heard. Try not to let that bother you, though. Musically this is a fast band, very fast, yet still Death Metal heavy. That’s a good combination. The vocals are something like Carnivore: deep screams. The only real problem this album suffers from is the back-up vocals. Sometimes they cause the vocals to become “muddy” or just plain fucked up. I think that Glen can handle things vocally and that he doesn’t need any help. I understand that the band wanted the music to sound frightening, and thought the weird back-up vocals would do the trick. Sometimes they do, but not usually. If you can disregard the lyrics and the back-up growls, this album is great. The words detract from the songs, because the concept of singing about Satan has been done to fucking death. I wonder if they actually believe all this “I killed Jesus” stuff they sing about. If they don’t, they sure put on a convincing act.
{Eventually becoming one of the world’s biggest Death Metal bands, Deicide have never wavered in their intensity, and are even more deadly now than ever.}
