[Blackhorse_Experience]

For those of you who like Deicide.. what do you think is their best album(s.) I recently picked up Once Upon a Cross and I think its great. What else should I get?

Either that or a Morbid Angel CD, they're much better.

mmm i don't think i ever actually heard of someone liking deicide before actually! not that i mean to flame you or anything!

Legion and Once Upon the Cross are their two best, the others after that are pretty much all the same rehashed satanic themes, "god sucks, I wanna kill him", still I love them though.

Think I got.. 1,2,3...4.. 5 albums, yes.

I used to like the energy outbursts in a way, but
haven't listened to them much the past year. It's ok
sometimes but gets boring real quickly... oh I got
that live album as well... make that 6...

I used to like them,still have once upon the cross and when satan lives
the second one is their best,cause it's live and it's like the best of deicide

 

[Shadowthrone]

I have always thought once upon the cross was pretty good. Legion is pretty good as well.

The first 3 albums rule (Deicide, Legion, OUTC), I'd recommend getting them in reverse order of release. The playing on Legion is insane (some of the best double kick work I've heard). The one after OUTC, Serpents Of The Light is much in the same approach as OUTC, so if you really love Once.. (which I do, it's one of my favourite albums), then Serpents... may be a good one. Their last 2 (In Torment In Hell and Incineratehymn) are ones to get last, they were rushed out so the band could get out of their record contract, In Torment... was recorded and mixed in 4 days, and it's pretty shit (couple of good songs). Incinerate.... has some good stuff, but if pretty much Deicide-by-numbers, the songs are all in the same format as Once... and Serpents.. and to be honest it gets a bit boring.
Their old stuff is awesome though.

have you noticed that YDG always contributes with this kind of reviews?
that's cool

Deicide's first two albums were massive for the time period they were released, and I think Legion still holds up today.

Once Upon the Cross I thought was horribly dumbed-down from Legion, with statements from the band making it sound like Legion confused their fans. Seeing what happened to the band from that point, I think they just got lazy.

A band who is actually worse than power matel bands.

I've only heard some of Deicide stuff, but it sounded good.
