Metal Monday: Deicide – s/t lp

By Doug W | Published 03/12/2012

Glen Benton doesn’t seem to like god much. This tool went so far as branding an upside down crucifix into his forehead. I have to think that is a career limiting move. Good luck to him at that next job interview. Lucky for Benton he has been doing the Deicide thing for over 20 years now. He seems to be able to scrape enough together to keep recording, touring and sacrificing small kittens. As much as I dislike the idiot, Deicide really had death metal nailed down in the early 90′s with their first couple albums.

The first self titled album that el_august has up for auction here is by far their best. Every copy I have ever seen looks like it’s been through hell (haha), so this one looks to be a good bet if you are in need of a first press in good shape.

Vitally Remaining Test Press!

I’m a big fan of Vital Remains and have been for a long time. I remember seeing them with bands like Phlegm, Ritual Sacrafice, Skinned Alive and Are We Dead Yet?! back in the day at Club Baby Head. That was long before they had Glen Benton from Deicide singing for them, but they were still great!

All that being said I dont know exactly what this test press is of and since its made in France and sold from the UK I’m not really sure if its legit or not. Maybe you enjoy Vital Remains also and you are more aware of their catalog then I am. If so then comment this post or just buy the record and let us know!

dosjamons has lots of other stuff for sale so if you’re not in the UK then check the other auctions and combine your shipping charges!

VITAL REMAINS!!

By Josh | Published 09/17/2010

Vital Remains is hugely respected death metal band that has traveled the world, released a ton of material and played a ton of shows for over 20 years and my fondest memory of them is from sometime in the very earlt 90′s. I think it was one of the Rhode Island Metal Fests at Club Baby Head and Vital Remains was playing. They set up the stage with a bunch of lifesize coffins, lights and smoke machines. Then they all walked out on stage in hooded black robes and their intro music started. They all stood there with their heads down as the club filled with smoke and red light and some erie music played. After what seemed like hours (probably a minute or two) they started and they were not very good, but man they knew how to suck people in!

They got a lot better over the years and actually turned into this weird studio band. They had basicly one guy that wrote pretty much all the music and a band in the studio (that eventually featured Glen Benton from Deicide on vocals) and then a different band that went out on tour and played most of the live shows.

Well here you can grab the first Vital Remails demo tape ‘Reduced to Ashes’ from 1989 and then you can get a copy of the epic double LP ‘Icons of Evil’ from 2007 which clocks in at 66:06 minutes of blisering death metal including a cover of “Disciples of Hell” by Yngwie Malmsteen!
