My name is Kaiya Pelletier and I am documenting my metal journey as I discover and listen to metal music for the first time ever. I'm in my mid 20's and I've been a singer songwriter and performer for over 10 years. Currently I live in Stillwater, Oklahoma and I am in the process of recording my 4th album. I have a Bloodhound named Spooner, I love Mexican food, collecting Stephen King novels, collecting CD's and cassettes and my favorite movies are tied between Jurassic Park and Alien.

What are your thoughts on Deicide? Overrated or Underrated?

[@PaulHanson-sh9nz]

Little girl you don't belong listening to Deicide. Put in your back street boys cd and call it a day.

[@molibianco]

Morbid angel did what Deicide wanted to do, but better (The antireligious, uber cheesy lyrics) Musicwise, Deicide is kinda mid, but Steve Asheim is a beast on the drums

[@georgeglekas8232]

Morbid Angel, Deicide and Obituary

[@n.afonso7171]

Overrated, Kaiya. 😅

[@DaleBouwman]

I like Deicide. from their first album....it was very heavy for early 90's. Thanks for the video!! 👍👍

[@grantnelson9268]

You have to watch and understand the Evil Dead movies to appreciate the background growls here as well as the chorus chant. Both are direct references to the films.

[@freddiemossberg7204]

3 first albums are great. The debut and Legion are classics. Legion is their masterpiece. In my opinion.

[@napalmizer7364]

+ first 4 songs from Serpents Of The Light

[@johnjohn37371]

No opinion, just facts...

[@SelfRighteousNewAgeLightWorker]

Serpents Of The Light is one of the best DEICIDE albums, much more interesting than Once Upon The Cross to my ears, even with the thinner guitar tone.

[@jason_108]

Start with the first album!! I was 15 when the debut album came out. Popped that cassette in for the first time while on a plane ride. Shit was so evil I was afraid some pissy demon might swing thru & take the plane out so I waited til I got home for the rest of it. First two albums are legendary bangers through & through.

[@KriisTyann]

I was 17 and this album smashed my face like a big rock falling on my head. Hi from Belgium.

[@jason_108]

@@KriisTyann here's to first impressions! cheers from California!

[@sputhoor96]

Big fan of the animal sounds

[@grantnelson9268]

Particularly with this song where they are a direct tribute to the Evil Dead movies

[@sinisterking6009]

I love them too

[@dennisk207]

I worked at a college student union food court in the early 1990s. The lead cook where I worked would occasionally put this CD on. It was hilarious watching people flee in terror as soon as they came in to the sound radius of our station area. Which was great because it kept us from getting busy at those times. Also we had fun mimicking the lead singer's puking singing style. Great times!

[@jaytaylor8589]

Deicide we're unique, whether you liked his vocals or not. They were tight, original and the drummer was a machine. Trey Of Morbid Angel turned me onto Deicide when my band used to hang out with them when they lived in North Carolina.

[@twhontehwon200]

A wizard graces us with his presence.

[@benedettienzo8780]

What was the name of your band ?

[@claatin6273]

Best song I've ever heard honestly, this is one of the songs that got me into metal in general. Still get chills listening to it

[@zod-engineering-welding]

Yea this one is on my workout playlist, as well as the live version from London Burns DVD. That one is killer!

[@darthjason7019]

I love this song , not every song is layered with them type of vocals. But it goes with this particular song.

[@LCRLive687]

You absolutely need to to listen to their Once Upon the Cross album. Its when they some how magically became pro and found a signature sound. Its a complete masterpiece and the one after is called Serpents of the Light is equally a masterpiece. But once upon the cross has unexplainable vibes.

[@lethalButters]

I love Deicide. Glenn’s voice gets even better after this release, he’s already amazing off this one. I love Serpent of the Light and Scars of the Crucifix.

[@JacobsKrąnųg]

for me, the music is good, but the vocals are just awful, I can't listen to this without cringing

[@lethalButters]

@@JacobsKrąnųg Really?! Glenn is like THE death metal vocalist for me. Like when someone asks what death metal sounds like I would say Glenn Benton. He's one of the best in my opinion. Very powerful, clean, and understandable.

[@samspade8830]

​@@JacobsKrąnųgDo you not like Death metal or do you just not like Glenn Benton's vocals?

[@gonzaloangelesgutierrez9977]

DEICIDE...is not for everyone

[@Thrashmetal_74]

The growls make the cd killer remember it was before your time respect that deicide was based on satanic death metal its 1990 the best debut album

[@mto811]

Deicide's legacy for the genre can't be denied. Not an opinion, but a fact. Once Upon the Cross is, and will always be one the best death metal albums ever made 🤘

[@majk2006]

Diving into Deicide is like diving into hell itself. Beware!

very impactful band for blackened death metal Their Best album is probably one of the first 4 albums Their Worst album is In Torment In Hell

[@mikestelzer2027]

The radio disney version of this song is the greatest thing ever

Don't tell me this is an actual thing...

[@zekeooo2]

[@metalheadzac9119]

I've listened to a good handful of Deicide. My personal favorite song is Christ Denied. Happy listening!

[@chainsawdism]

El riff del principio, que en la segunda vuelta lo hacen más corto y trabado es brutal.

[@kevinnordavind3119]

total DM classic. the Amon demos and this debut still hold up for me.

[@watcher3062]

Stench Of Redemption is my favorite Deicide album, but Legion is defiantly a masterpiece.

[@keeperofknowledge4120]

Does anyone remember Glenn Benton vs. Bob Larson? Those were the days. Deicide are OGs of death metal. No one was this extreme, Glenn burned an inverted cross in his foreheard!

[@donavonhoward114]

The first 4 albums are some of the best death metal out there, especially the first 2. I think you would really enjoy Once Upon The Cross as well, but Legion is my personal favorite, and the first Deicide album isn't far behind for me.

[@lidiaspazzard]

Some of their newer stuff is great too.

[@nature_nd]

When this came out, I don’t think anyone was doing what they were doing. Still enjoy this album and Legion. Not my favorite death metal, but do enjoy it.

[@garygkc21]

I was scared by this song in 90.ive always thought of it as the quickest song to clear the room with squares.

[@Vorgaloth]

Legion and Once Upon The Cross is pinnacle Deicide... pinnacle death metal IMO. They were probably the most extreme band in the early 90s and I wish I was old enough to have attended a show back then in their prime. Fuckin' mayhem. Glenn's voice is so distinct and aggressive. In this genre he has a more natural style and tone in his voice. His best vocal performance is probably Serpents of the Light.

[@BlackDeathThrash]

Absolutely love the first 2 albums, got them when they came out, saw them live multiple times for those tours. Total savages in concert.

[@BekahRachel73]

2nd album Legion is far better in my opinion in terms of musicianship and overall songwriting but the debut will always have a special place in my heart as I heard it when I was 16

[@neilbottles2597]

Once upon the cross and Serpents of the light are my favorite albums from them

[@hiblast629]

People have probably already mentioned, but the vocalist Glen Benton was in another band Vital Remains. It's basically deicide but with higher production and more flavorful and classical solos, and a much bigger emphasis on the drums

[@petrilampela]

I heard this album when I was 15 and all my friends were like "this is the most evil band of all time, just read these lyrics" and whilst I thought the music really sounded quite evil I thought that they must have a bit tongue-in-cheek attitude. And of course later it turned out to be true. I remember hearing an interview with Glen Benton where he said he tried to help an old woman across the street but she started hitting him with her purse when she noticed the inverted cross burned on his forehead. Years later I saw Glen wearing a Cheaters (the absolutely hilarious reality TV show) T-shirt and it kinda affirmed that he's not the spawn of satan. They were just doing the same thing as Venom a decade before. But I still love the debut album, just crushing.

[@squashedeyeball]

That's the good choice :) Legion is the better first impression in my opinion. Beyond it, Decide has a few decent albums, plenty of meh, all kinda repetitive. But there are a handful of really solid DM songs!

[@Luemm3l]

ok, after Deicide you need to also do Vital Remains... Dechristianize would be the obvious choice, but also Hammer Down The Nails, Icon Of Evil.... oh and while we are at it, Vitriol are also pretty cool, they sort of are the modern Vital Remains to me.

[@waynefinnicumbb7218]

Dead By Dawn!!!! Excellent song! Love Deicide

[@TheDretch]

Deicide is legendary

[@vanguard4065]

Deicide’s first album is absolutely a classic of the Tampa Florida death metal scene. 2nd album Legion is my favorite death metal album of all time. i was a sophomore in high school when it came out in 1992 and it shocked the metal world no doubt.

[@jimmycampbell78]

Deicide is awesome, simple as. I struggled to observe you listening to such a banger of a track as Dead by Dawn and going 'hmmm' 🤣

[@davidbidwell4091]

Not being rude,bit late on some of your videos. Been doing Deicide since the late 80s. So 35 years,still my favourite band ever. How long have you been into metal?

[@johnnyblitzkrieg8985]

The Florida death from 90' is still the best. Like Seinfeld is best.

[@USURPER_KING280]

The very first death metal song I've ever heard; been a fan of the genre since 1990.

[@EdgarMartinez-gh5uj]

Hellyeah 🔱😈

[@mgkpraesi]

No doubt one of the best DM Albums from the 90´s. Heard it up and down in school.

[@AlucardsQuest]

Deicide was more about the chugging evil riffs, I still dig most of the music (especially Legion). Although they were the most brutal "satanic" band you could get for their first couple albums, they never really challenged themselves musically like Morbid or Cannibal. Obituary didn't either, but somehow people respected Obituary more than Deicide. I think it might have been the satanic thing, which most people would be the first to tell you that satan is an invention of christianity. So for them to embrace a cartoony version of it without practicing LaVey or anything... nobody took them seriously. Plus the lead vocalist had some childish beef with the editor of Metal Maniacs magazine and a Christian radio host for years. I saw a interview with him recently, and honestly I was shocked at how chill he was. My friend said he saw of show of theirs, and the vocalist just gave him the stink eye when he asked how he was doing. They got a second wind when they replaced their old guitarists with a Cannibal Corpse guy and a guy who filled in on a Death and Iced Earth tour. Nowadays it seems like they keep trying to recapture what fans liked about Legion, despite the band never liking the album themselves... but they deserve mention in the pantheons of the Florida Death Metal scene (which apparently only revolved around Morrisound Studios?).

[@reverandbigshow8171]

Outside of Slayer , These guys are my favourite band. They just get better They dropped the extra growls later on and it on ly made Glens voice sound better!

[@patrickgelder-ph5yd]

Stench of redemption #1 album.

[@Sikfuk]

Complete garbage. You must be young.

[@croakinc3670]

Such a great album

[@chainsawdism]

Lo intrincado de Legión lo hace una obra maestra sin dudas.

[@nupraptorthementalist3306]

The "Dead by Dawn! Dead by Dawn! Dead by Dawn!" refrain is superfluous at best; potentially marring perhaps one of the greatest DM songs, in my opinion.

[@tjcaruthers5593]

What do I think of the song Dead by Dawn? Classic What do I think of Deicide the album? Classic. The best Deicide album? Legion. Your take of this song and it's production is your opinion, but I will say you seem to like a more technical approach to death metal which I highly recommend Legion. Deicide have always been a very stripped down and raw band. It's part of the appeal. The production I think is awesome. Back when this album was made there was only one guy who could get double bass mixed with the other instruments without it sounding muddy and that is Scott Burns. The album sounds great to me. This was also the first Deicide album I bought in 1992 when I got into death metal. Try Legion if you are looking for a more technical less stripped down version of Deicide.

[@depouillementpersonnel]

You have a Bolt Thrower vinyl but never listened to Deicide? It’s like having a Maiden vinyl without knowing Praying Mantis.

[@butchering]

Without seeing the Evil Dead movies you really can’t appreciate what they were doing with this song.

[@CartoonsMemoriesIT]

I saw Evil Dead (1981) when I was 8 years old (1984) and it's my favourite film of all time! I saw it maybe 200 times

[@b.bkrueger1394]

Masterpiece!!!!

[@THATGOATMETALSHOW]

I love the 1st album but hands down once upon the cross is their best album ... from 1st song to last its their reigning blood

[@TheGiiant]

This is one of the cornerstones of deathmetal. Deicide is pretty much the same when ever you listen to them even thought the early albums are better and not so predictable.

[@texitoba]

This album is a classic!!

[@cabalofdemons]

1990 saw the release of Deicide-Deicide, Entombed-Left Hand Path, Napalm Death-Harmony Corruption, Death-Spiritual Healing and Cannibal Corpse-Eaten Back to Life. This is a seminal album in the death metal genre for its aggressive, musicianship and Glen's blasphemous lyrics. The band only improved from here, give or take a couple of albums.

[@tomspring213]

I always describe early Deicide solos as the satanic turkey, lol.

[@datnillavondizzle]

"Diving into DEICIDE" that sounds like a title album for our iconoclastic brethren! HAHAHAH ! \m/!!!!

[@Stand_By_For_Mind_Control]

You definitely need to give Once Upon the Cross a listen. But really they've been a solid band for like 30 years now. Always good but so much better instrumentally as time goes on. Like the solos in some of the recent stuff are amazing.

[@stevenwolfe7762]

is album is still one of my favoites albums.

[@SquirrelyDan6422]

Underrated! 🤘🤘

[@JeffWheezingGrampusGoddard]

I adore this album, but I think you would get a kick out of some of their next couple of albums. Fewer vocal effects, better production, but this album is a blast from start to end. Deicide are Deffo a love em or hate em kind of band, but one of my very first experiences of the genre. Best album is probably the next one, Legion, although Once Upon A Croas also could claim the top spot. The Slayer of Death Metal really.

[@MrOztrailGuy]

Well, I’m not surprised of this analysis from somebody who probably wasn’t even born then ‘ if you lived it as I did through the 80s and still to now you would understand and your breakdown of this song and thoughts are just totally the opposite of Gen X who grew up with this. Totally different mindset.

[@croakinc3670]

You NEED to hear Legion and Once Upon the Cross, definitely their best works; that and Stench of Redemption. The animalistic growls are mostly just on this song.

Yes definitely.

No. I wasn't born back then and this is a great track. It's kinda corny but very fun. Old School Death Metal!!!. And Asheim's drums are insane

[@DominusLuna]

The story of The Mad Arab and his living dreams and the Necronomicon came long before Evil Dead Dead By Dawn. Benton said that he hadn't even seen Evil Dead. The story of The Mad Arab was out long before any of this.

[@off6848]

It’s also referenced in Fallout by Lorenzo Cabot I know the game way later but just shows the story is separate from Evil Dead

[@keng6663]

Yeah um! everything in the song is direct references to the movie, yes the necronomican existed before but this song is all evil dead if he claims he never saw it he’s full of shit 😂 castle of cantar the chosen one, dead by dawn chanted (that was even the subtitle of the movie ffs)

[@DominusLuna]

@@keng6663 HP Lovecraft has the answer to all of your questions. Anton LaVey is probably in there somewhere too. \m/

[@keng6663]

I’ve read every lovecraft story multiple times for many years. Which is how I know Glen Benton is lying if he says it’s based on that and not the movie. None of the references in The song have anything to do with the Necronomicon of the lovecraft tales or the original Eygyptian necronomicans. Morbid Angel were far more lovecraft inspired.

You can definetly hear the Morrissound Studios. But if I had to pick songs from Deicide I would chose tracks from the Legion album. Better songwriting, better songstructure. Deicide didnt have the biggest impact on the scene. Their singer was a little to crazy back then (he had a branded upturned cross on his forehead).

This is a masterpiece and back in the day got a whole lot of people buying the Simon version of The Necronomicon to try out some of the Magick, and having UFO encounters and the like. It is like entering into another Spiritual World, full of Cthonic Beings. We would crash into old deserted places and have seances while tripping on Acid back then, and this music would be the soundtrack! Glenn Benton having interviews with his newly burned-in upside down cross on his forehead, saying that the Ancient Ones were reclaiming the Earth! It is one of those rare albums of music that isn't just pretend death metal for entertainment, but actually a Spiritual Gate to real Demonic Forces. Good times!!!
