Insineratehymn explicit_lyrics

.co.uk Old black metallers never die--but their puns, it's hard to deny, get slightly whiffy. Twelve years into their career, Incineratehymn finds Deicide listlessly picking through the same old pile of bones, a shadow of their once-hellraising selves. The trouble is, times have changed. Where Deicide once seemed the unimpeachable paragon of all that is evil, Insineratehymn finds them playing second fiddle to the educated blasphemy of Marilyn Manson, or competing with the industrial thunder of Type O Negative. What once was radical now seems slightly quaint--hear "Bible Basher", where front man Glen Benton bellows "Ram your religion so far up your ass/ Till it becomes just a thing of the past" for the sake of the rhyme, rather than any well-considered anti-Christian message. Meanwhile, the music--never the most convincing example of the devil having all the best tunes, it has to be said--is a lumpen dirge of indulgent guitar solos and chugging metal squall. Benton evidently knows his Old Testament scriptures back to front, but that merely means that Deicide end up looking as much of a historical relic as the Good Book itself. Perhaps it's time for them to meet their maker. Whoever that might be. --Louis Pattison
