Bio

Deicide est un groupe de death metal américain, originaire de Tampa, en Floride.

D'abord appelé Amon, le groupe s'est formé en Floride en 1987. Il compose deux démos : Feasting the Beast en 1987 puis Sacrificial en 1989. Peu de temps plus tard, le groupe choisit son nom définitif et sort son premier album homonyme.

Le bassiste et chanteur Glen Benton se fait marquer au fer rouge une croix inversée sur le front. Deicide a vendu environ 400 000 exemplaires de son album Legion, ce qui est un record dans le death metal. Deicide se proclame sataniste et le thème de toutes leurs chansons est opposé au christianisme. Ils sont interdits de jouer à de nombreux endroits comme d'autres groupes du même style.

Deicide is an American death metal band from Tampa, Florida. They formed in 1987 with drummer Steve Asheim and guitarist brothers Eric and Brian Hoffman as Carnage, then hired bassist and vocalist Glen Benton and became Amon. They renamed to Deicide in 1989. The band rose to mainstream success in 1992 with their second album, Legion, and is credited as the second-best-selling death metal band of the Soundscan Era, after Cannibal Corpse.

Since their debut album in 1990, Deicide has released thirteen studio albums, one live album, two compilation albums and two live DVDs. In November 2003, their first two albums, Deicide and Legion, were ranked second and third place respectively in best-selling death metal albums of the SoundScan era.

Deicide has been called "Florida's most notorious and despised death metal export." The band's first three studio albums, Deicide, Legion and Once Upon the Cross, are considered death metal classics. Deicide is notorious for its lyrics, which cover topics such as Satanism, anti-Christianity and blasphemy. The band's lyrics and the band members' personal lives have resulted in bans, lawsuits, criticism, and controversy from religious groups, political groups, animal rights activists, and the general public. Many band members have been arrested for various reasons.
