Deicide - Deicide *Pre-Order

Release Date Friday 13th June 2025
All pre-orders will be dispatched/made ready for collection on that day.

Are you ready to experience the
definitive death metal album?
Deicide’s 1990 self-titled debut
is not just one of the genre’s
top-selling releases (if it’s not #1,
it’s top three); it’s also a staggering
philosophical and artistic
statement. “Uncompromising”
is definitely the appropriate if
euphemistic term to describe its
stance on organized religion, which
doesn’t just include Christianity
but also Charles Manson (“Lunatic
of God’s Creation”) and Jim Jones
(“Carnage in the Temple of the
Damned”). But it’s “Sacrificial
Suicide” and “Dead by Dawn,” which references the Evil
Dead movie for maybe the slightest hint of levity on what is
a very black album, that have become stone-cold classics.
The ferocity of the lyrics is matched if not surpassed by the
musical attack, featuring piercing twin guitar leads from
brothers Eric and Brian Hoffman, and bassist/lead singer Glen
Benton’s evil exhortations. The real hero—or antihero—of the
band, though, just might be drummer Steve Asheim, whose
double kick drum “blastbeat” barrages defy belief. Remastered
for vinyl by Mike Milchner of Sonic Vision, Deicide comes in
metallic red and white “centurion” vinyl, complete with an insert
with lyrics. Metal was never the same after this record...
