Emerging into the death metalscene in 1987 from Florida, USAunder the name of Amon, they quickly became one of the most successful Death Metal bands of all time. After releasing two demos as "Amon," they changed their name to Deicidein 1990 and released their self-titled album shortly afterwards. Only two original members of the band remain: Glen Benton (bass/vocals)and Steve Asheim (drums); and Jack Owen on the guitar. Glen Benton, whose controversial lyrics cover such topics as Satan and death, showed his hatred for Christianity by pressing a red-hot inverted cross to his forehead until his skin scarred in that shape. The manner of Glen Benton's antichristianity has been a matter of debate for Deicide fans even from the early days of the band.

Christ Denied Lyrics

Deicide

Congregation congregated in his house of god
Entombed by their almighty savior
Revelations misinterpreted ignite his flame
Removed from the human equation
Retreat to death in burning flesh
His dead disciples and their son of god
Incineration opf their prophecy
Destroyed in failure
You're unannounced and you're unobserved
No longer worshipped in his world
Apocalypse on insanity
Self destruction of hypocrisy
Suffering is yours, no tomorrow
Killed with reason, unbelieved in
In conception, you were warned
Resurrection, christ denied
Congregation immolated with his bastard son
Confused by the rules of engagement
Impregnating you defamated your grace with god
Refused are the gates to salvation
