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.

The Stench of Redemption Lyrics

Deicide

Dead and gone, you and the hatred
Ignorance, is searing in failure
What is what, will always be questioned,
You're the one who lives in deception
Bow to a god I will never want,
Look him in the face as I taste his blood
Fall to my knees and forget myself
Forever and ever and never I will
Rot with disgust and no dignity
Enemy of me you will always be
Fall to your death and accept the fact
The stench of redemption there's no coming back
Curse the plight and all explanation
Jesus Christ foreboding impatience
Step aside, and fall from your grace man
God the son, lost in temptation
Never will you rise from the flames of death
Dying as you bleed and your lies confessed
Elements untie at the end you see
Unbridled revenge in my heart unto thee
In an endless sea of divine regret
Lying in the past with the words you said
Anger disbelief will convince the soul
The stench of redemption
You're dead to the world
Dead and gone, you and the hatred
Ignorance, is searing in failure
What is what, will always be questioned
You're the one who lives in deception
Bow to a god I will never want,
Look him in the face as I taste his blood
Fall to my knees and forget myself
Forever and ever and never I will
Rot with disgust and no dignity
Enemy of me you will always be
Fall to your death and accept the fact
The stench of redemption there's no coming back
