Glen Benton Interview - Deicide

[@HassanAhmed-jr3kl]

Glen probably has the best vocals in the death metal genre.

[@HCWz-_-Over9000]

For me its a tie between him and Chuck Schuldiner

[@spitefuldeer]

@@HCWz-_-Over9000 both chuck and glen have great vocals but no one beats mikael akerfledt

[@regortex3364]

This interviewer did a great job, you could tell Glen was cool with him because he gave a real interview. To those saying he seems terrified, you’re not very bright and have no read on people whatsoever, good luck.

[@JasonSaulnier]

Thank you for that comment. Much appreciated and your right.

[@bigrizzleful]

hard to take him seriously when he says "getting soft with my old age" when he has an upside down cross burned into his forehead.

[@metalbelles3662]

The cross must have burned through his skull to his brain cells cos he's wacked

he looks more and more like one of those that lives out in the swamps hunting and killing alligators for a living !

Same here brother...

I got hammered drunk and stoned to the bone with glen at Milwaukee metal fest back in the mid 90s ...great guy !!! party on brother \mXm/

[@thenuttednutter2669]

Sheesh you saw the early shit. I bet that was bad ass.

[@officialjbbeverley]

That's the nicest I've ever seen Benton. What a trip. He seems happy for a change. Good for him.

[@metalbelles3662]

He's only happy when his big ego is boosted and when his pockets loaded

[@Hammersmashed68]

This is probably the nicest I've seen Glen in an interview...just seems in really good spirits and doesn't look like he's bored or getting impatient.

[@Derpadeedooda]

This dude is a legend. Love the fact that he hates deathcore like me.

[@MarinoSesh420]

How come you hate deathcore? haha

[@MarinoSesh420]

I wouldn't say it killed death metal because it's still going on. I would say Metalcore/Post Hardcore or whatever you call it did. You know, bands like Asking Alexandria? if you look at legit deathcore bands they're not bad, for me at least. Like Thy Art Is Murder, Carnifex, I Declare War. They're pretty much death metal but with more breakdowns than usual. But hey everyone has their own opinions to it's whatever :P Favorite genre for me though is definitely Brutal Death/Slam stuff

[@HassanAhmed-jr3kl]

Nergal from Behemoth also hates deathcore.

[@stevehunt914]

lol 'Legit Deathcore' = Oxymoron

[@corybiro]

[@CGB-spender]

Glen looks like Hagrid.

[@firingbulletsatmoon]

before youtube was around I never ever would have thought Glen would sound so placid and soft spoken

[@michaeljakubczak9680]

he sounds as nervous as i was when i met glen,i mean hes a death metal legend.i had 1000 things to tell the guy and all i could blurt out was "thanks for coming".Can't wait to get ahold of in the minds of evil !!!

[@dimebagdavidabbott2592]

I met Glen when I was 15 years old. He was pretty Koo. That upside down cross was a little intimidating but as an artist I looked past that. He’s like a biker dude . Anyways Deicide for life🤟🏽!!!!!

did you meet jack owen too

[@bigroy38]

Looks like a badass outlaw biker.Real down to earth professional,though.

[@FukYourWay]

Glen looks toasted, and Jason looks like he's gonna get sacrificed if he asks the wrong question!!lol!Glen is a legend!\m/

[@mikehiggins9506]

Actually, Glenn seems pretty lucid....He is a big alcoholic, though. I have heard things. I live in R.I., where Vital Remains hails from, originally. Dave Suzuki is also still here in a collaboration with fellow Rhode Islander Ray McCaffrey ex Drummer of Grief (Boston) playing guitar in a band called CHURCHBURN. Good Doom metal.

[@FukYourWay]

mike higgins He looks like he has been at the Ale!Vital Remains kicks ass!Didn't know Dave was in a band called Churchburn!Sounds interesting, will check it out!!Cheers bud!\m/!

[@briannamtar4679]

mike higgins I've heard Benton doesn't drink booze a anymore cuz he is worried it will mess up his vox.

[@mbvteleshaka4366]

Check out some of his vids from the early 90s - he seemed anything but. Time wounds all heels, as they say...

[@mbvteleshaka4366]

yeah he was a jerk off then. claiming he was possessed

[@Viktir123]

"Fuck your god" was an amazing song. Even down to the thick strikes of the drums.

[@BaalpeorNumbers25]

Glen is a legend, I still remember being in high school when their first album came out and frankly it blew everything else in death metal away. I'd been into Sepultura and Obituary hardcore, then I found Deicide and was like DAMN, THESE guys are SICK!!! Only thing I miss from their first album is Glen's vocals. All of their albums are awesome, but their first album had the best vocals imho. and some of their best riffs too

[@Peasant_in_a_tree]

Most definitely true

Interview was done in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

[@therenovation7272]

This interview is VERY different to that other one by MuChannel in 2011. It seems like Glen is a bit less serious with interviews, like hes happy in this interview :D it's nice!

First I thought the band was called Decide and now I know it's Deicide and also realized their logo kind of looks like the original Cannibal Corpse logo.

[@thenuttednutter2669]

Glen is such a nice and intelligent man. I had the pleasure of sharing a beer and some JD with him before a Toronto show many years ago. I'm so excited for this new album. The title track has a very Once Upon The Cross / Serpents Of The Light era sound and feel which is just what this world needs again right now.

Glenn cracks me up, this interview especially.

[@justindearmond1]

i still remember when i first saw the Once Upon the Cross album, back in 96ish i think. It was so grotesque and sacrilegious and i loved it! My buddy Kenny 'speakerman' Johnston had a "Wall of Sound" set up in his bedroom, and this is no bullshit.....he had 2 pairs of 12s 2 pairs of 10s 2 pairs of 8s and one set of 15s and another 12 in a huge truck box under his bed all hooked up to a Concept 12.0d reciever. His bedroom was very small so he stacked them ontop of eachother and on some shelves so it really did just look like a wall of speakers and his room was so small that we were only about 4 feet from the speakers anywhere in the room you went.....we would listen to that album at max volume....well not really, that amp couldnt be turned up past halfway, even at that all the speakers would start to distort. It is the single most powerful amp i have ever seen to this day....now he has a pair of 15s and 12s, Cerwin Vegas, and 2 15in Cerwin Vega subs and that amp cant be turned up even halfway....it rattles the neighborhood, just looking at it you would never think 'well this is an enormously powerful amp that ill never see again'.

[@jasonking2443]

Good interview. I actually don't really mind deathcore, but, he has a point; a lot of it sounds the same and people may find it unlistenable. But then again, there's a lot of death/thrash metal bands out that sound the same, for the most part, but, they are easier on the ears. Hmm...
