Talk:Deicide (band)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The only difference between this band and the Nazis is that the latter were a government and had the power to act on their hatred - 6million people dead! There is no use in condemning the Nazis yet accepting this band. FACT NOT PERSONAL VIEWS!!! To 'Demonslave'
To the person who added the vitrol in the title with comparions to nazis and calls for banning-grow up you child! The wikipedia is for information, not personal views!
I added a link to the official Deicide.com homepage. What's up Deicide fans? :) --Demonslave 03:45, May 5, 2004 (UTC)

I have removed the Nazi/Deicide comparison because it was bias and irrelevent.

Recently, Eric Hoffman hit back at Benton claiming the real reason why they left the band is because Benton was the real one cancelling shows, walking out on tours, could barely play bass and he and his brother got sick of him.
Can we get some sources cited for this comment? --Arm 15:24, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
Never heard of any release or bootleg called Anaal Ex, google bears no result. Recommend nuking it.
I re-added the statement made by Eric since I found out someone had replaced the broken version with a archived version and I accidently deleted it previously without checking. --Markendust
[edit] Satanist category
Can anyone who is familiar with this band confirm or deny their alleged satanism? Quite obviously they're anti-christian, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're satanists. I'll remove the category in a while if no one comes forward with some light to shed on this. Serpent-A 01:53, 20 May 2006 (UTC) Deicide is active for almost 20 years. They haven't wrote anything that doesn't concern religion. In many songs Glen Benton frankly hails Satan, just read some of his lyrics. Moreover, he burnt the inverted cross on his forehead and, as far as I understand, he needs to do it regularly because his skin heals up. I know several photos with Glen Benton and it's obvious that his inverted cross doesn't look the same as it did in the very beginning with Roadrunner. His son is called Demon, Glen has a lot of inverted crosses in his house. Each time as he sees a churchman he tries to fight him. Glen Benton 10:38, 16-Aug-06 (Moscow time)
- In the interview with Glen Benton in Terrorizer magazine (#148) it suggests that Benton believes in the Anton LaVey representation of Satan, although he stated that he hoped the devil did have a pointy fork. The lyrics are just meant to bait Christians rather than represent his actual belief. Paul Tew 11:33, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Jack Owen
Why does Jack Owen link to this page? I believe he's notable enough for his own page, I mean he's been in two of the biggest death metal bands ever, Cannibal Corpse and Deicide.
I agree. Redirecting Jack Owen to this page is disregarding his entire career. He is notable enough as a guitarist, having been one of the original founding members of Cannibal Corpse, and by the recording of The Wretched Spawn, one of only three original members left in the band, the other two being bassist Alex Webster and drummer Paul Mazurkiewicz. Jack Owen deserves more credit for the influence he's had on death metal than a mere redirect. --OpenFaceSurgery 22:35, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Pronunciation
Why does it specifically say Deicide is pronounced with a 'day' at the beginning? I'm pretty sure it can be pronounced 'dee' as well, just like with both pronunciations of "deity". X-pert74 03:46, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
- Furthermore, I have never heard the band's name (as opposed to just the word "deicide") pronounced with day at the beginning. It's always been dee. --OpenFaceSurgery 22:32, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, I believe that it's pronounced "dei", which does a bit of a curve in sound. English is a lazy language though and many people simplify sounds. --A Sunshade Lust 03:07, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
