I'd like to set the record straight on all this hammerskin, white supremacist bullshit. I did a session for the band Attack years ago. They called themselves "combat metal". The singer was ex-military, and was a maniac who it seemed, hated everyone. They were recording an album at the studio next to my old rehearsal space. The producer owned both facilities and knew I was always there, working on new material or jamming. I was off the road for a while and pretty broke so I played a bunch of one take shitty solos for a couple hundred bucks, and that was all there was to it. I've never even seen any of them since. I've never played shows with Attack, or played solo at the event on this flyer. What the hell would I do for a solo set? (I should've played a bunch of Charley Pride songs...) The fact that they've placed my name everywhere, associating me with them is fucked up. Now people on here saying I should "die by ni**er dick"? And please don't wipe your ass with your old Cannibal Corpse cds and burn them. Anyone who has met me knows I'm pretty laid back and definitely not racist. Just a semi-alcoholic metal fan like everyone else. So if anyone has questions about this crap, or the new Deicide album, feel free. I noticed all the posts on here on Gunshy Assassin and had to say something.

Wait, I'm a mallcore kid???? Shit...

I'll take the story to Blabbermouth soon.

As far as capturing the Legion feel on the new release? No way. That was a moment in time that can never be duplicated. It's a technical masterpiece.

Thanks everyone for your support! I'll take the story to Blabbermouth soon. Do you know how annoying it is to have white power nazis approaching me at Deicide shows, expecting me to hang with them? Geez...
Anyway, someone started a thread about musicians who lurk on the forums to read about their bands. I would assume it's a lot more than you think. Some musicians can't handle negative criticism, but I think it's as important as compliments. It helps me realize what's wrong with the band/releases, etc. I realize people love the 1st 2 Deicide albums and we could never touch them in quality and classic appeal. Hell, when they asked me to join, I already knew the 1st album from playing the shit out of it, as a fan. As far as capturing the Legion feel on the new release? No way. That was a moment in time that can never be duplicated. It's a technical masterpiece.

Glen sounded pretty great on Stench and even on the Vital Remains shit he did, but man he was awful on To Hell with God. Bunch of yapping garbage.

Seriously? Because most people, including me think the complete opposite. I like his vocals on To Hell With God because theyre similar to the first 5 Deicide albums in that theres power and VERY good enunciation, you can actually understand what he says, whereas his vocals on Stench and Vital Remains as well as anything between the years 2000 and 2011 is just bunch of completely incoherent URG URG URG shit. I remember the first Deicide record I bought was Till Death Do Us Part (because it was cheap and Stench wasnt available) and I HATED the vocals on it, especially when I discovered that Benton didnt always sing like that but he still had a good and coherent voice on Insineratehymn (later I got Stench and still didnt like the vocals although the music on that one was way better than Till Death), but when the first songs from To Hell With God leaked, man I was so relieved to hear that Benton had finally returned to his old BETTER style. And I'm glad that he's stuck with it on the new cd as well.

I suppose it could be a bit more artistic and I have to admit the Deicide shirt I own is the first album cover and not Legion (even though I like Legion better )

I got the album in the mail and the booklet is just...boring, as well as the lyrics. At least the music is awesome.

You can't say you expected interesting lyrics from Deicide.

I still plan to buy the album.
