It's fast. it's brutal, it's still Deicide,
By
This review is from: Till Death Do Us Part (Audio CD)
I'll keep it brief. If you are a really big fan of the direction that Deicide took with Stench of Redemption, then i'm sure you will be extremely pleased with what this new album has to offer. The production is great, the rythym section is top notch. The riffs and solos hearken back to the classic period of metal. This is truly a "return to form" if you will. The lyrics are typical Deicide, but for those who cannot handle all of the blasphemy, then don't expect to like this album. It's Deicide for God's sake! (no pun intended, not in the slightest, ok, maybe just a little bit). Oh, and one more thing, the vocals are brutal enough to make Cookie Monster proud. Seriously, death metal folks, why is that a cut down? I think that Cookie monster should be the role model for any aspiring death metal vocalist. His vocals are so brootal! Anyways, I love this album, and if you like Deicide, then I think you will too.

Divorce Metal!,
By Mattowarrior "Mattowarrior" (Madison, WI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Till Death Do Us Part (Audio CD)
Death Metal bands, especially the "original Floridian ones" usually aren't Lord Byron when it comes to lyrical content (with the exception of course of Death, Cynic, etc). This idea in mind is what I usually have when it comes to picking up new albums by bands such as Deicide, however much of a favorite they are. However, there is something deceptively genius about an album of theirs this time around. I don't know if its been done before, but underneath the pretentious and demonic lyrical imagery is a concept album based upon Glenn Benton's recent divorce and/or custody battle. I know that everyone from Phil Collins to Trent Reznor and beyond have done whole sides of albums, etc, about the subject of relationships deteoriating, but this is the first time I have ever heard of this subject being explored in "Flordian Satanic Death Metal". So I have to give at least one star for such a brave subject to tackle. Not all the songs are tackling this subject, but the album's underlying theme is definitely this.
Now as far as the music goes: Not as good as Stench of Redemption, blah blah blah, but at the same time, I feel that this one is a grower as far as getting in your head compared to Stench. It actually recalls Legion alot more than Stench, but just imagine a slightly stripped down legion (complete with dissonant and tasty riffage) with some of the soloing ideas off of Stench and you get the basic idea. There is a slight drop off in quality as to be expected compared to Stench, but also there is a more progressive and inaccessible discordant element that makes this basically more brutal than their recent two as well. In essence, the new Deicide is another essential offering from one of the kings of death metal.

Pretty Darn OK,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Till Death Do Us Part (Audio CD)
What can I say? This band is at the top of it's category. The only catch is that you have to appreciate this kind of music. Most people can't. I hate to sound like a Richard but to me this stuff all sounds the same. I do admire the complete and utter disrespect of everything wholesome in their subject matter. They encapsulate the ultimate heresy. The evil of Deicide is unmatched. Plus this CD came with an awesome patch that says "Glen Benton for President". I prominently display this trophy at work.
