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.

Oblivious To Evil Lyrics

Deicide

Join us
Evil night of an evil death
Epitome of Illusion
Sacrifice of the unborn child
Enter the kingdom of darkness
Sodomized for the ritual
For there is nowhere to run
Open the gates to the manifestation
And grant me the powers of darkness
Chorus:
Infernal majesty, take this dead offering
Feeding the demon seed, evil bestowed on me
Exorcise the powers of death
Invert my cross of time
The realm of Satan anarchy
Inside my sacred sign
Lucifer bring me the legions of death
Abbadon kill until nothing is left
Oblivious to evil
(Lead - Eric/Brain)
Death defied the rituals
Of dreams and disillusion
Unlock the box and gimp in pain
Summon the demons of darkness
Evil Gods that fast with flesh
Prepare me for the dead
Release me from the angels so righteous
For your God is dead
Repeat Chorus
