In Torment In Hell
''In Torment in Hell'' is the sixth studio album by American death metal band Deicide. It was released on September 25, 2001, on Roadrunner Records. Reception The album received strong criticism from the metal underground for what many critics view as rushed production and lackluster songwriting. The label pressured the band for a quick follow-up to '' Insineratehymn'', but Deicide failed to meet the deadline of its original release date of July 31. The band rarely plays any songs from this album live. Reflecting on the album in 2006, drummer Steve Asheim conceded that the album's weaknesses were not solely attributable to record label difficulties: Track listing Personnel *Glen Benton – bass, vocals *Eric Hoffman – guitars *Brian Hoffman – guitars *Steve Asheim Steve Asheim (born January 17, 1970) is an American drummer and primary songwriter for the death metal band Deicide.

AllMusic
AllMusic (previously known as All Music Guide and AMG) is an American online music database. It catalogs more than three million album entries and 30 million tracks, as well as information on musicians and bands. Initiated in 1991, the database was first made available on the Internet in 1994. AllMusic is owned by RhythmOne. History AllMusic was launched as ''All Music Guide'' by Michael Erlewine, a "compulsive archivist, noted astrologer, Buddhist scholar and musician". He became interested in using computers for his astrological work in the mid-1970s and founded a software company, Matrix, in 1977. In the early 1990s, as CDs replaced LPs as the dominant format for recorded music, Erlewine purchased what he thought was a CD of early recordings by Little Richard. After buying it he discovered it was a "flaccid latter-day rehash". Frustrated with the labeling, he researched using metadata to create a music guide. In 1990, in Big Rapids, Michigan, he founded ''All Music Guide' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Legion (album)
''Legion'' is the second album by American death metal band Deicide. It was released by Roadrunner Records on June 9, 1992. Background ''Legion'' is one of Deicide's most musically ambitious releases, incorporating more technical riffing and song structures. The band considers this album to be its most difficult, and claims it is too chaotic. When the Hoffman brothers quit the band, Eric Hoffman stated that one of the main reasons was Glen Benton refusing to play longer sets and being unable to perform the technical bass guitar riffing required for ''Legions material. Though the album is a favourite of fans, "Dead But Dreaming" is the only song from it to remain in the band's live set (though as recently as 2010 the band has begun playing "Trifixion" and "Holy Deception" as well). Unlike Deicide's first album, no pitch shifters or harmonizers were used on Benton's vocals. However, delay, reverb, and multi-tracking were among the studio manipulations used to achieve the vocal ef ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Once Upon The Cross
''Once upon the Cross'' is the third studio album by American death metal band Deicide. It was released on April 18, 1995, by Roadrunner Records. The samples at the beginning of the opening track "Once upon the Cross" and "Trick or Betrayed" are taken from the film '' The Last Temptation of Christ''. Background Steve Asheim said of ''Once upon the Cross'', "Listening back, ...''Cross'' seems very slow. Live we play those songs much faster. Actually we've always played them faster than they are on the record. When we went in the studio in '94 and I recorded the drum tracks at the speed I had been playing them at practice, we only had 22 minutes with the same amount of songs, they were just faster. 22 minutes does not make an album so I re-recorded the songs at a more controlled pace and still only ended up with 30 minutes. So there it was." Critical reception David Jehnzen of Allmusic said, "A typically brutal set from Deicide that is particularly notable for the guitar pyrote ...
