Deicide – Deicide LP (Metallic White & Red Centurion Vinyl)

Deicide – Deicide (remastered) 

Are you ready to experience the definitive death metal album? Deicide's 1990 self-titled debut album is not only one of the genre's best-selling releases (if it's not number one, it's number three), but it's also an astounding philosophical and artistic statement.

"Uncompromising" is definitely the appropriate, if euphemistic, term to describe his stance on organized religion, which includes not only Christianity, but also Charles Manson ("Lunatic of God's Creation") and Jim Jones ("Carnage in the Temple of the Damned"). But it's "Sacrificial Suicide" and "Dead by Dawn", which reference the movie "Evil Dead" to bring perhaps the slightest hint of levity to this very black album, that have become stone-cold classics. The ferocity of the lyrics is matched, if not surpassed, by the musical assault with the piercing dual guitar leads of brothers Eric and Brian Hoffman and the wicked exhortations of bassist/lead singer Glen Benton. The real hero - or anti-hero - of the band, however, is drummer Steve Asheim, whose blastbeat double kick drum salvos are hard to believe.

"Deicide" was remastered for vinyl by Mike Milchner of Sonic Vision and comes in metallic red and white "Centurion" vinyl, complete with a lyric insert. Metal has never been the same after this record.
