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.

Imminent Doom Lyrics

Deicide

Standing on mountains of sin, bad luck Is coming again,
Wasting away in this hole, anguishing inside my soul,
Inner peace I am denied, damming myself in the mind,
Wondering eyes never see, visible powers concede,
Nothing will stand in its way, immanent doom and decay,
It is a present from god, payback for what I have done,
Circling every mistake, wait to deliver my fate,
Evil with anger and rage, sicken I bath in its pain,
Wallow in shadows I'm in, watcher of heaven and hymn,
Heartache is coming to stay, behold the mark of betray,
[Lead...]
Karma is coming for me, masking confusion unease,
Sorrow absorbing my soul, mourning the lack of control,
Pondering why I exist, remove myself from its grip,
Self mutilation unstopped, repel the markings of god,
When will you show me your face, immanent doom in disgrace
[Lead...]
Standing on mountains of sin, bad luck is coming again,
Wasting away in this hole, anguishing inside my soul,
Inner peace I am denied, damming myself in the mind,
Wondering eyes never see, visible powers concede,
Nothing will stand in its way, immanent doom and decay,
