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.

Death to Jesus Lyrics

Deicide

Calvary's son what have you done, Nothing but hang on a cross, Nazarene beaten to death, What is sin, your lord did you in... Putting your ass out to dry...
Just a pawn sentenced to die...
Revelation compromise, kill the world another time, In the name of God you hide, all behold the crucified...
Heaven's dissention, the light of the dead,
Absent as always, the crucifixtion,
What's in his name that you want us all dead,
Why do you question the voice in your head?
Reverence sours despising the meek, Biblical power, Descend into dream, Cast to the darkness contentious stay, Mourning forever his name you will pray...
Mutilation, Left to Satan,
Killed to save us, Death to Jesus
Under the sun, drained of belief, screaming at God to be dead, Dominus onward ascend, Fall from grace through the hands of the lord, Judas is hanging betrayed and ignored, Fuck the Christ, Who will save, Retro Send, Arbitrating the soul, Come again and relive it you know, Crucified when you arrive, Rendered unconscious, Confined to the cross, Caught in the act of the end of us all,
Powerless again you die...
For the Father you despise, Bare the burden of his Sign, Holy tomb of emptiness, Suffocate inside your shrine...
Recitation, Salutation
God defeated, Death to Jesus
Revelation compromise, Kill the world another time
In the name of God you die...
Death to Jesus, Crucified
