Quote from: Cailleach on May 17, 2026, 08:14:34 PMSome of the Amphoris albums before Eclipse were far from  dull. I also agree about Carcass. However their comeback gig in Camden was brilliant.
the run of albums between Elegy and Eclipse were all dull as shite!.Absolutely nothing memorable!

What is wrong with you ;D
 Elegy and Tuonela are  great albums.
Elegy is class,sorry I ment everything after that up to Eclipse!.Ive given Tuonela so many goes; cant get into it at all!

Never really got the buzz with Monotheist. Great production on it but I find the album long and tedious.

I accept that I have a huge amount of nostalgia for Scars of the Crucifix relative to the norm, but I think it is a far superior album to Stench. I think Stench sounded fresh and like a band reinvigorated on release, but it isn't what I want from Deicide (tbh, we're 30 years past what that really is now), but it has no staying power. Scars biggest failing is the thin production, but I think you can see what they were trying to do with it and it doesn't always get the credit it deserves.

scars is a class album, but they went up another level again on Stench!.

I find it very difficult to spin any Deicide albums post once upon the cross, they just dont stick for me, couple of catchy tracks here and there but that's it.


Scars, Stench and the last 2 are all great.

i listened to the last one and didn't think much. Doesn't seem to have the staying power of thee earlier stuff. Scars and stench are great to be fair

They are never going to be able to record anything even close to the first four but the last two was a great return to form after a run of albums that ranged from mediocre to shite. I think the last album got overshadowed by the AI art controversy.

Still hoping someone gets them over here given it's been almost 20 years since they played in Ireland. Steve isn't going to be able to keep the drumming up for much longer he's 56. I can't see Glen continuing the band without him.

I really enjoyed Overtures of Blasphemy!, i was definitely in the minority on here at the time!

they are a band on my bucket list. I was obsessed with them when I was younger and to be fair they have more good material than bad. Certainly are due a return here

Overtures is deadly, couldn't understand the negativity around it.

Me too - the first 5 or 6 songs on that are really strong actually
