Are you ready to experience the definitive death metal album? Deicides 1990 self-titled debut is not just one of the genres top-selling releases (if its not #1, its top three); its also a staggering philosophical and artistic statement. Uncompromising is definitely the appropriate if euphemistic term to describe its stance on organized religion, which doesnt just include Christianity but also Charles Manson (Lunatic of Gods Creation) and Jim Jones (Carnage in the Temple of the Damned). But its Sacrificial Suicide and Dead by Dawn, which references the Evil Dead movie for maybe the slightest hint of levity on what is a very black album, that have become stone-cold classics. The ferocity of the lyrics is matched if not surpassed by the musical attack, featuring piercing twin guitar leads from brothers Eric and Brian Hoffman, and bassist/lead singer Glen Bentons evil exhortations. The real heroor antiheroof the band, though, just might be drummer Steve Asheim, whose double kick drum blastbeat barrages defy belief. Remastered for vinyl by Mike Milchner of Sonic Vision, Deicide comes in metallic red and white centurion vinyl, complete with an insert with lyrics. Metal was never the same after this record
