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.

In Torment In Hell Lyrics

Deicide

[Lead]
Liar of a priest, What could you want from thee, is it so
hard to see, I will not believe, the truth it sours, inside
you hide your head, the contradiction, I curse your life
with dread,
Your dead to me, your light is greed, leave me alone, to
the unknown, I have to leave, the best to be, beyond his
gates, without his grace. [Lead]
In torment in hell, uncontrolled and casting spells,
plotting death and suffering, binding souls with misery,
burning Christians begging pleas, satisfy my need to
bleed, trample on the lambs of god, bow before thy lord
Satan,
Stay away from god; find out that you are, human deity,
born to be deceived, You worship cowards, a cross for
which he bled, no more empowered, the light of god is
dead,
I fell from god, his word begot,
unearn his faith, the lord replaced, Heaven is hell,
flesh is the cell, the earth I take, return to hate.
[Lead]
