To Hell With God - Deicide - February 2011

Record Label: Century Media
Death
Similar to: Cannibal Corpse, Obituary

If you have never listened to Deicide or gave up on them after listening their last album, ('Til Death Do Us Part) it's time to delve into 'To Hell With God'.  This 10 track album starts off with the fury of early 90's Deicide and doesn't let up until you reach the final track, 'How Can You Can You Call Yourself A God?'
Returning to their roots of hating God, Deicide has revitalized their sound.  This time around the band hooked up with Mark Lewis, producer of The Crusade, Resurrection and Roadrunner's All-Star Sessions.  The first thing you'll notice is the immaculately clean sound of the guitars.  Unlike most death metal albums, the guitars sound clear rather than murky and highly distorted.  Also, most of the lyrics are decipherable (a first for Deicide) through Glen Benton's alternating deep growls and heavy screams.  With the melodic and thrashy sounding solos, any metalhead is sure to appreciate this band getting back on track after a few terrible albums.


Notable Songs: (1) To Hell With God; (7) Conviction
