I wouldn't say it killed death metal because it's still going on. I would say Metalcore/Post Hardcore or whatever you call it did. You know, bands like Asking Alexandria? if you look at legit deathcore bands they're not bad, for me at least. Like Thy Art Is Murder, Carnifex, I Declare War. They're pretty much death metal but with more breakdowns than usual. But hey everyone has their own opinions to it's whatever :P Favorite genre for me though is definitely Brutal Death/Slam stuff

he sounds as nervous as i was when i met glen,i mean hes a death metal legend.i had 1000 things to tell the guy and all i could blurt out was "thanks for coming".Can't wait to get ahold of in the minds of evil !!!
"Fuck your god" was an amazing song. Even down to the thick strikes of the drums.
I am so in love with this man. I got the privilege of meeting him and his hugs were WONDERFUL. (sigh)

Glen is a legend, I still remember being in high school when their first album came out and frankly it blew everything else in death metal away. I'd been into Sepultura and Obituary hardcore, then I found Deicide and was like DAMN, THESE guys are SICK!!! Only thing I miss from their first album is Glen's vocals. All of their albums are awesome, but their first album had the best vocals imho. and some of their best riffs too

I saw them live a little while ago and boy they are just so good. Ive listened to Deicide for years but hearing them live was a whole new experience. Too bad I couldnt head bang 💀 Kataklysm had played before and I head banged so I hard I couldnt move my neck 😂
3 diecide tattoos never will regret🤘first one was the trifixion DEICIDE!!!
Best interview I've ever seen. He seems to enjoy the fact of being there with you! Saw them last week and the two last years too! Best band ever
Awesome. Can't freaking wait for the new album. Out of all the albums being released this years, this is the album that I want to hear the most. Such as it is with every album they put out. Been a fan since 1994 and supported them ever since. My favorite album by them will always be Legion. Thank you, Glen Benton. Long Live Deicide.

Actually, Glenn seems pretty lucid....He is a big alcoholic, though. I have heard things. I live in R.I., where Vital Remains hails from, originally. Dave Suzuki is also still here in a collaboration with fellow Rhode Islander Ray McCaffrey ex Drummer of Grief (Boston) playing guitar in a band called CHURCHBURN. Good Doom metal.

Glen is such a nice and intelligent man. I had the pleasure of sharing a beer and some JD with him before a Toronto show many years ago. I'm so excited for this new album. The title track has a very Once Upon The Cross / Serpents Of The Light era sound and feel which is just what this world needs again right now.
loved this interview!!!

I love the new album, all the old albums and Benton with Vital Remains.
Dude is so cool and normal in real life.
That noise he made at the start was it for me haha
I was staying in Nongrimbah Rent House in 2002.👍🏻
for many many years I had a pre-conceived notion about Glen Benton. after getting to know him personally, he’s simply a down to earth bloke who is honest and doesn’t tolerate bullshit. he’s actually a really decent bloke. I take my hat off to him.
Been a fan since the start, looking forward to the new album and hopefully seeing them on tour, as for the new music - if it ain't broke......

This is an interview I enjoy cause glen seems layed back and chill all others he's actin like a hardass
Glen, you're a survivor!
First I thought the band was called Decide and now I know it's Deicide and also realized their logo kind of looks like the original Cannibal Corpse logo.
take a shot of vodka whenever Glen says "you know" best drinking game ever :D
WOW man! They are back as brutal as ever! What I like behind Glen is that behind all this brutality there is a good man inside. All the best of luck for you guys and love the flow of the interview. Hail Deicide!
Really good interview, Glen seems like a cool dude and that clip from the news broadcast as Amon is the most fucking metal video of all time.
That was a really good interview man,well done. I'm Canadian also & have pretty much followed Deicide their whole career as well & seen them live a few years ago in London,Ontario,Canada @The Music Hall & what an awesome show they put on man,I wasn't disappointed at all. & it was super cool also for me to see ex Cannibal Corpse guitarist Jack Owen & ex Obituary,Iced Earth,Death guitarist Ralph Santolla play as well & then of course the 4-string ringer himself Glen Benton.

Thanks for digging the interview. Hail Deicide.
Interview was done in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
Deicide prometían mucho, sus dos primeros discos, muy buenos.
Benton fuckin rules. Plain and simple. It sux to see him getting up in years. Life without Deicide will be shitty.
i still remember when i first saw the Once Upon the Cross album, back in 96ish i think. It was so grotesque and sacrilegious and i loved it! My buddy Kenny 'speakerman' Johnston had a "Wall of Sound" set up in his bedroom, and this is no bullshit.....he had 2 pairs of 12s 2 pairs of 10s 2 pairs of 8s and one set of 15s and another 12 in a huge truck box under his bed all hooked up to a Concept 12.0d reciever. His bedroom was very small so he stacked them ontop of eachother and on some shelves so it really did just look like a wall of speakers and his room was so small that we were only about 4 feet from the speakers anywhere in the room you went.....we would listen to that album at max volume....well not really, that amp couldnt be turned up past halfway, even at that all the speakers would start to distort. It is the single most powerful amp i have ever seen to this day....now he has a pair of 15s and 12s, Cerwin Vegas, and 2 15in Cerwin Vega subs and that amp cant be turned up even halfway....it rattles the neighborhood, just looking at it you would never think 'well this is an enormously powerful amp that ill never see again'.
I change my mind, Glenn is a freaking legend.
