Influences: Metallica, Iron Maiden, Slayer, Exodus, Venom, Celtic Frost, Dark Angel, Kreator, Destruction, Sodom, Possessed, Bathory, Death, Autopsy, MayhemDeicide are an American Death Metal band forming in the late 80s. They got their start sometime in the mid-80s as Carnage, a cover band comprised of the Hoffman brothers and Steve Asheim that played Slayer, Exodus, Celtic Frost, and Dark Angel covers. At some point later on, Brian Hoffman called Glen Benton in response to an ad that the latter had placed in a local music magazine. Benton accepted the offer, and they got together writing music under the name Amon; within a month, they had recorded the crude Feasting the Beast 8-track demo in Benton's garage and had started playing the occasional gig in the Tampa area. In 1989, Amon recorded their second demo, Sacrificial, at Morrisound with producer Scott Burns.After signing onto Roadrunner Records, the band's name was changed to Deicide at their request, then they finally got to the recording of their Self-Titled Album, and they had gotten along since then...Until 2004, when animosity between the Hoffmans and the rest of the band that had been building for years came to a head and resulted in the Hoffmans leaving, with Dave Suzuki and Jack Owen being live replacements for the band. Afterwards, Ralph Santolla joined the band full time for The Stench of Redemption, only to leave later to join Obituary. Afterwards, The band wrote Till Death do Us Part as a trio with Santolla contributing session leads.In 2009, they signed with Century Media, following the return of Santolla for To Hell With God. Santolla left again, begin replaced by Kevin Quirion (who had been an on-off live fill-in for some time and had also played with Asheim in Order of Ennead). They finished a new album called In the Minds of Evil, which has been released on November 25, 2013.At some point in 2016, Jack Owen either left or was fired (his version of events was that he was let go of after finishing up a tour filling in for Carach Angren on guitars), and Mark English (Monstrosity) took his place. A new album is in the works for a prospective 2018 release, and as of February 2018, they are finishing it up. Overtures of Blasphemy was released September 14, 2018.As of 2023, their 13th studio album Banished by Sin has been completed, with a release date to be determined.Members: Steve Asheim – drums, occasional guitars (1987–present) Glen Benton – bass, lead vocals (1987–present) Kevin Quirion – guitars, backing vocals (2008–2009, 2009–2010, 2011–present) Taylor Nordberg – guitars (2022–present)Notable Past Members: Eric Hoffman – guitars (1987–2004) Brian Hoffman – guitars (1987–2004) Ralph Santolla – guitars (2005–2007, 2008, 2010–2011) (Died in 2018) Jack Owen – guitars (2004–2016) Mark English - guitars (2016-2019) Chris Cannella - guitars (2019-2022)Discography: Deicide (1990) Legion (1992) Once Upon the Cross (1995) Serpents of the Light (1997) Insineratehymn (2000) In Torment in Hell (2001) Scars of the Crucifix (2004) The Stench of Redemption (2006) Till Death Do Us Part (2008) To Hell with God (2011) In the Minds of Evil (2013) Overtures of Blasphemy (2018) Banished By Sin (TBA) | |

Read the Fine Print | |
| Deicide (Music) / int_17d9043d | comment |
Read the Fine Print: According to Glen, a failure to do this was what finally got the Hoffman brothers to leave. Relations between them and the rest of the band had been deteriorating for years, but it wasn't until a new contract that laid out new royalty distribution terms that the shit really hit the fan. Basically, the new terms boiled down to "you get paid for what you write," while the old contract was a four-way split. As the Hoffmans did not write that much, they had not earned that much in royalties under the new contract, and from what Glen said, it appeared that they did not even read the damn thing before signing it and then flipped the fuck out when their shares suddenly became a hell of a lot smaller. | |

Persona Non Grata | |
| Deicide (Music) / int_26852e3d | comment |
Persona Non Grata: Essentially banned in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts due to an unspecified incident that occurred in the late 1990s that resulted in an active warrant for Glen's arrest. Basically, they can go there, but Glen will likely be arrested if they do so. It has been rumored that the warrant is no longer active, but the band only plays in Connecticut, Rhode Island, or New Hampshire when they do play New England. | |

Special Guest: This was largely Mark English's role; while he did play shows with the band and tracked his portion of the leads on Overtures of Blasphemy, he was mostly an interim player, and once Monstrosity finally got The Passage of Existence out in 2018, the likelihood of future scheduling conflicts emerged and Mark was replaced by Chris Cannella in early 2019. | |

Trope Codifier | |
| Deicide (Music) / int_44bd31e2 | comment |
Trope Codifier: Along with Morbid Angel, they did this for death metal. Prior to their self-titled and the former's Altars of Madness, most death metal was just very heavy thrash; those two albums established the melodic ideas and riffing conventions that became unique to death metal, and while the self-titled was definitely thrashier than Altars, it still had all of those elements front and center. | |

Step Up to the Microphone: Glen was originally just a bassist; back when Amon first formed, they had a standalone vocalist. The vocalist was apparently pretty bad, however, and Glen decided to give vocals a shot after they kicked him out. The rest was history. | |

Metal Scream | |
| Deicide (Music) / int_5ade32d1 | comment |
Metal Scream: While Frank Mullen was probably the Trope Codifier for guttural vocals (early death metal vocals were generally a deeper, throatier rasp or snarl), Glen is a strong contender for being the Ur-Example of gutturals, as his lows were closer to a bellow than any of his contemporaries. He also was one of the first purveyors of the "gutturals and shrieks" dynamic that has since become a mainstay of death metal, though his tendency to multitrack and layer his vocals means that many of his highs have to be performed by other vocalists live. | |

Animal Wrongs Group | |
| Deicide (Music) / int_661a66d8 | comment |
Animal Wrongs Group: Glen once killed a squirrel with a BB gun during an interview. He had relatively good reasons for doing so - they were infesting his house and chewing up every electrical cord they could get their fangs on - but since Glen earlier had bragged about killing and burning small animals for fun, the band quickly became a victim of these. It culminated in somebody stopping one of their shows by detonating a bomb outside of a blast-proof door, at the wrong end of the building, while the opening act was playing. | |

Drugs Are Bad: If you are Eric Hoffman, heavy steroid usage when combined with bipolar disorder will prove to be a Psycho Serum and make you highly unstable. Back when he quit, he would apparently drive to Steve Asheim's house late at night to scream at and threaten him through the window (given the fact that Steve has a fairly large gun collection, it is a wonder that he was not shot), and his Facebook rants about Glen, Steve, and (as of recent) his brother have become the stuff of legend. | |
