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.
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.
Metal Hammer placed ‘Deicide’ in the Top 10 Death Metal Albums Of All Time, stating; “Deicide’s debut sounded exactly how an album made by an actual maniac should sound” Kerrang! agreed: “With its turbulent rhythms and genuine, realistic rage, the first album sounds unbelievably dedicated to dying for the Devil.”
