Deicide - Scars of the Crucifix - [Earache]

2004-02-02

The saga of Just How Much Glen Benton of Deicide
Dislikes Jesus Christ continues unhindered by
change or subtlety. Sure, the band is tighter
than ever, the vocals are eviler than ever, and
the lyrics at least sound pretty unpleasant
(can’t understand a fucking word), but their
formula is so, dare I say, formulaic. Give the
band a new name, a new singer, a new schtick, and
put them in the studio and be ready for some
truly innovative music. Until then you’re stuck
with Scars of the Crucifix, yet more
“satanic” death metal at about 400 bpm’s.
