Deicide - Scars Of The Crucifix - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Known the world over as one of the founding fathers of death metal, Deicide remains one of the most influential and controversial metal bands to grace the genre to this very day. With a relentlessly brutal sound and uncompromisingly blasphemous lyrics, Deicide helped set the standard for death metal over three decades ago and have maintained them ever since. Emerging from seemingly endless controversy re-energized and re-focused, the death metal originators hit back with their most confrontational album in years with 2006's The Stench Of Redemption. Bristling with the defiance and confidence borne of a new line up (welcoming Jack Owen and Ralph Santola to the fold), Deicide 2006 plays with an intensity that puts every young pretender to shame.

28 track triple CD package from controversial US death metal legends Deicide featuring three full albums from the band's earliest years with Roadrunner Records. Both 'Deicide' and 'Legion' are officially certified among the Top 5 biggest selling Death Metal records of all time according to Soundscan. Featuring extensive liner notes from respected writer Dom Lawson, including new interviews with producer Scott Burns and A&R legend Monte Conner. CD 1 features their classic self-titled debut full length, originally released in 1990. CD 2 features the massively successful follow up 'Legion', originally released in 1992. CD 3 features the hard to find demos collection 'Amon Feasting The Beast' featuring early recordings of songs that made it onto the first album, originally issued in 1993. Formed in 1987 in Tampa, Florida, and eventually settling on Deicide as a band name in 1989, the addition of vocalist/bassist Glen Benton upped the controversy surrounding the band considerably.

19 track double CD package from controversial US death metal legends Deicide featuring two full albums from the band's years with Roadrunner Records. CD 1 features their third studio album 'Once Upon The Cross', originally released in 1995. CD 2 features their fourth studio album 'Serpents Of The Light', originally released in 1997. Formed in 1987 in Tampa, Florida, and eventually settling on Deicide as a band name in 1989, the addition of vocalist/bassist Glen Benton upped the controversy surrounding the band considerably. Pushing an overtly satanic and anti-Christian message, Benton famously branded an upside down crucifix into his forehead. After a notorious NME interview, the band were targeted by animal right activists. Rightly considered classics, both of the albums contain tracks still played by the band in their live sets today. This features extensive liner notes from respected writer Dom Lawson, including new interviews with producer Scott Burns and A&R legend Monte Conner as well as Akercocke drummer and Deicide superfan David Gray
