Deicide

This scandalous detovaya team from Florida has evolved from the other metal band "Amon", existed in the late 80-ies. Then her brothers played guitarists Eric and Brian Hoffman and drummer Steve Esheym. Later they were joined by Glen Benton (vocals, bass) - a man on his forehead which was burned by the inverted cross. At the concerts of this type appeared in a flak jacket, and on stage in front of him ran bloody pig. Lyrics were under a group name ( "Deicide" means deicide). Not surprisingly, enraged churchmen fought against every possible way to concerts these "messengers of Satan". By 1990, in Benton and company in the hands of the couple have demos, with which they managed to interest executives "Roadrunner records", to conclude an "Deicide" contract.

. After the second disc, "Legion", the group formed a certain circle of admirers, some of them taken seriously all the nonsense that Glen Benton roared into the microphone.

. For example, two teenagers from New Jersey hanged a dog, and when the court went on trial in this case, they said that they had been under the impression of "Legion"
. However, "Roadrunner" turned a blind eye to all these "troubles" and decided to reissue even demos gang called "Amon: Feasting The Beast". But the group ran into trouble when they meet in a European tour. In England, rumors spread that Benton is mistreating the animals, and the British Society for smaller brothers "Animal Militia" has issued a statement that Glenn will be sentenced to death, if one appears on the shores of Albion.

. The tour, however, took place, and was interrupted only in Stockholm, where in one of the clubs, in which the concert took place "Deicide", revealed a bomb.

. When the passions have died down a bit, the musicians began a session of the next album, called "Once Upon The Cross"
. The band's style has remained unchanged, as well as theme songs. Next creation of the collective, "Serpents Of The Light" came into being in 1997, and the next year, "Roadrunner" re-released their debut album "Deicide", releasing chase live album "When Satan Lives". After the release of "Insineratehymn" took place on a global concert tour in the U.S. as headliners in a bundle with "Marduk", "Gorguts" and "All out war".

In early 2002, the first Glen Benton after staying as a vocalist in "Vital remains" on the album "Dechristianize". A little later, "Deicide" once served as headliners at this time on the European tour in company with "Mystic circle" and "Centinex".
