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.

Deicide Lyrics

Deicide

No lord shall stand before myself
I can strike the light and see through the truth
For I'm the Deicide, Dominus, what could you do
Thou has falled you now, once again and always will
On the cross, forgotten son, a sacrifice it had to be done
Chorus:
Died for me, well that's too bad I don't believe
Killed by sins of the evil what I am
Your destruction, reasons of a world in pain
Blind desciple, reasons of a world in pain
Blind discipte, you will never live again
Wage of death, course of life
Unsematic birth of he Deicide
Eyes of pain, pleads of death
As you're put to rest
Three days to rise
If he lives again he is sure to die
I killed jesus
Just to see him bleed on his pulpis throne
I am evil
I'm the Deicide and I killed the lord
No more reasons
I will kill the world in another form
I rule this world
NAIL HIM
(Lead - Brain)
I can strike the light and see through the truth
For I'm the Deicide, Dominus, what could you do
Thou has falled you now, once again and always will
On the cross, forgotten son, a sacrifice it had to be done
Repeat chorus
