DEICIDE - Serpents Of The Light LP (DEATHLY BLUE)

Calling a Deicide album “more accessible” is kind of like calling a velociraptor less lethal than a T-Rex…you’re gonna die either way. But on 1997’s Serpents of the Light, the fourth album from the Tampa death metal quartet, Glen Benton’s rage-filled imprecations are a little more intelligible and songs like “Slave to the Cross” and “Blame It on God” do sport choruses that verge upon being hooky (if you have a meathook in mind). The anti-religion invective remains unabated, however…this remains music in extremis despite the stripped-down production. Not for even the faintly faint of heart.

Remastered for vinyl, limited deathly blue pressing with inner sleeve and a 12” x 24” poster of the cover image.
