Deicide

Deicide is a group of Death metal coming from the E. - U.. The word “Déicide” means “that which kills its God” (see the article Déicide).

The group was formed in Florida in 1987 under the name Amon. For this period, they left two demonstrations: Feasting the Beast in 1987 and Sacrificial in 1989. It is during the same year that they change name for Deicide and leave their first album éponyme.

Deicide was quickly made know for 2 reasons: 1 - The singer/bass player/frontman Glen Benton were made mark with red iron a cross reversed on the face. 2 - Deicide sold approximately 400.000 specimens of his Legion album, which is a record in Death Metal.

Deicide proclaims satanist and the topic of all their songs is opposed to the Christianisme. They were prohibited to play many places like other groups of the same style.

In the Nineties, whereas Deicide occurs in Stockholm within the framework of a round in company of Dutch of Gorefest, a bomb explodes near the room where Glen Benton and its partners play. So certain indices accredit the thesis of an operation carried out by organizations similar to ALF as reprisals against the group whose words preach the sacrifices of animals, Glen Benton of sound with dimensions charges the attack to fans extremists of Black metal, and to the initiates of the In Circle, group of activists at the time in " war ouverte" against the American groups of Death metal like Cannibal Corpse and Deicide, considered as being a commercial and parodic musical drift of philosophy Sataniste.

Formation

The formation of origin is the following one:

An internal conflict burst between the Hoffman brothers and Benton, so that during the summer 2004, Deicide always turns, but without the Hoffman brothers, replaced in particular by Jack Owen (ex- Cannibal Corpse) and Dave Suzuki (Vital Remains). Dave Suzuki exploited only rounds (he did not want to imply himself of advantage in the group, just to give a knack) and was then replaced by Ralph Santolla (Death, Iced Earth).

One thus obtains the following formation (2006):

In 2007 Ralph santolla leaves the Deicide group to play on the " Xecutionner returns" new the Obituary.

Roleplay

In the Roleplay humorous and parodic INS/MV, it is specified that the Furfur Prince-Demon gained its title thanks to the Deicide group. Its démoniaque capacity is besides to cause the suicide, as one showed of it wrongly the roleplays and this musical genre. It is obvious that it is about a wink/provocation deliberated on the author Croc, itself fan of heavy metal and specialist in black humor.
