Deicide, one of the most notorious bands within the death metal genre, has cultivated a reputation for their aggressive musical style and blasphemous themes. Formed in Tampa, Florida, in 1987, the group originally went by the name Amon, but soon changed it to Deicide before the release of their self-titled debut album in 1990. Led by the controversial Glen Benton, known for his outspoken anti-Christian views and onstage antics, Deicide's music is characterized by its rapid tempos, complex guitar work, and Benton's distinctive guttural vocal style.

Throughout their career, Deicide has remained a steadfast pillar in the death metal community, consistently delivering albums filled with relentless energy and lyrical content that challenges religious dogma. Their discography, which includes titles like "In Torment In Hell" (2001), "Scars Of The Crucifix" (2004), "To Hell With God" (2011), and "Overtures Of Blasphemy" (2018), showcases the band's commitment to their craft and their fans' expectations. Deicide's live performances, captured in recordings such as "When London Burns" (2006) and "Doomsday L.A." (2007), further solidify their status as a formidable and influential force within the extreme metal scene. Despite lineup changes over the years, Deicide continues to be a defining voice in extreme music, unapologetically blurring the lines between the sacred and the profane.
