Deicide paint by numbers, will never listen to this again, artwork is half decent though.

Do any of us really put much time and effort into recent/new releases by the old guard DM bands?,it really only spikes a bit of interest because of who they are.Like by saying its a decent/good track really is just an acknowledgement that a once great band can still release something thats not total dirt.

Picked up scars of the crucifix in a charity shop for 50c last year. It has never made its way out of the box. I think that's my answer to the question right there. And I used to buzz hard off deicide up until serpents of the light.

Yeah nothing new here. Everything up til Serpents.. gets played regularly but they've been phoning it in for years aside from the odd decent song hear and there.

Stench of Redemption is an unbelievable album tbf!

 :laugh: just had a look there and it's actually The Stench of Redemption that I picked up! Box set version and all. That'll tell you the interest I had in it

I remember enjoying Stench of Redemption but I've never given it a second thought. Haven't listened to this.

Love that new track, esp the vocals actually (gas video too). Im sure the album will be interesting for a while and then drift away like all their newer stuff... but you never know...

Stench of Redemption was the last thing of note they did for me, an incredible (surprise) of an album, largely down to the great guitar pairing on that one. Great coverage of their early years in the Scott Burns book (which everyone should read!)


New tracks are gack.

Stench is massively overrated to me. No staying power. It was a novelty to hear the elements that Santolla brought to them, it was a departure and therefore good. It was a flash in the pan for me.

Scars I think has loads of merit. Not their best by any stretch, but I listen to it a few times a year and always enjoy it. Maybe nostalgia is a part of that, it was one of the first new albums I got new when it came out as a death metal fan. I think it's an honest effort with good hooks and memorable songs, that don't have as much of that cartoony vibe a lot of their mid period stuff has. The title track is one of my favourite Deicide songs, easy.

I find that xmas video genuinely funny. The thing is I wish they were a bit more evil and brooding. I kook at Behenoth music videos of the last few years and reckon deicide should be doing something similar.

More shite from the boys

Love the album artwork - it's the exact fuckin same as the Kerry King record. Which is about right, both as bad as each other at this stage.

New track's much better than the first one, his vocals sound great.

The blurb about the recording is daft but Benton's own bit is grand.
I'll listen to the whole thing when it comes out.

Cover was AI generated for those praising it.

Listening to it here, sounds like the music was AI generated too, my god it's awful.
