During the early 1990s in Scandinavia, black metal was wreaking havoc all over Norway, and it was well documented that the black metallers disliked American death metal intensely (despite a few members of the inner circle enjoying acts such as Morbid Angel). In the early 1990s, Deicide was on tour in Europe with Gorefest, a Dutch death metal band. In Stockholm, and after the first band performed, a bomb was detonated in the club they were playing in. Many people blamed animal rights activists who were angered at Deicide's lyrical themes of animal sacrifice, but Glen Benton blamed the incident on the fanatical black metal fans.
