The legendary death metal band was formed in Tampa, Florida, in 1987 by current and surviving members, drummer/composer Steve Asheim, and bassist/vocalist/lyricist Glen Benton. The band rose to mainstream success in 1992 with their second album, Legion, and is credited as the second-best-selling death metal band of the Soundscan Era. Since their debut album in 1990, Deicide has released twelve studio albums, one live album, two compilation albums, and two live DVDs. In November 2003, their first two albums, Deicide and Legion, were ranked second and third place, respectively, in best-selling death metal albums of the SoundScan era. Deicide is known for being uncompromising and crafting some of the best, most punishing Death Metal music in their three decade-plus of existence. The band is currently putting the finishing touches on their thirteenth album. Expect the most intense, brutal, and savagely catchy slab of Florida Death Metal!
