About DEICIDE:
Always at the forefront of the Death Metal movement, DEICIDE was an original pioneer of the brutal sound and imagery associated with the Florida Death Metal scene. In 1987, Glen Benton and Steve Asheim teamed to launch one of the most talked about, controversial and venomous crusades in Metal history and have since risen to international notoriety and released two of the highest selling Death Metal albums in the SoundScan era.
DEICIDE quickly became known for their technical yet brutal sound as much as the rumors that surrounded them. After famously marching into the office of Monte Conner (Roadrunner Records) and demanding “Sign us, you fucking asshole!” the band went on to create the definitive sound of '90s Death Metal thanks to their ability to play technical solos at blazing speeds with overlapping riffs. DEICIDE also created an astounding nine studio albums that have changed the face of the extreme Metal scene. The message of Glen Benton and the incendiary writing of Steve Asheim proved the two of them to be the core of the band when lineup changes shook DEICIDE’s foundation in the early 2000s. During this time, Asheim and Benton held DEICIDE together, adding Jack Owen (CANNIBAL CORPSE) and Ralph Santolla (DEATH, ICED EARTH, OBITUARY) to their arsenal for the creation of the fiery and oft-championed “The Stench Of Redemption”.
