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.

Trifixion Lyrics

Deicide

Lead: Eric]
Blaspheming god, my body was possessed
The essence of their spirits are evil
Burning my flesh, inhaling no regrets
A diabolic sentence of destruction
Burning I bleed, unholy incision
Mark of the beast, behold the trifixion
[Chorus:]
Prepare the tool to observe my fate
Upon this mortal shell in
Satan's name I desecrate
Evil controlling the way I die
The mark is what distorts my soul beyond my sanity
In the name of Satan
I condemn this image of god
I am a key!.....
Blessed by the sign, symbolically I die
Intwist me in the lines of trifixion
Torment, semantic in design
Inflict this mortal shrine, with pure hatred
Kill me, before my time is lived
It's all I have to give, to be thankful
Satan, entagled in my sores
Forever I am bound by your conviction
Tri~ Fxion, Tri~ Fixion
[Repeat Chorus
