    I bought Legion in the fall of -94. I was fifteen years old. I remember before I bought it, the cover pic was patched on the backs of many a member of Oulu’s most feared gang roaming the streets at night - but then again some wore Iron Maiden patches, so I went into the record store thinking, ’it can’t be too heavy, can it?’. At the same time I bought Morbid Angel’s Blessed are the Sick.
    What can I say. Satan Spawn the Caco-Daemon blew my mind. It was the heaviest thing I had ever heard, nothing came even close. And it persists to this day and sounds just as good right now, 30 years later.

It's the frantic and unrelenting speed and structure shifts, winding riffs and super-tight rhythm section that makes Legion one step ahead of the debut and the Amon demos. But that is just my opinion. I still like the debut and the demos. I just think Legion was the "final form" of that version of Deicide. They mellowed down with Once Upon the Cross and after.

    It's always fun listening to Glenn , I've met him a few times and yeah he can be moody ,but who wouldn't be if you had been stuck on a tour bus going to another crappy s*"t hole in England , I've met Steve ,Ralph,jack,Brian ,Eric over the years , I even sang 3 songs for them at Jilly's rockworld here in England ( many moons ago) I think deicide are one of the top original death metal bands around) I saw them in Bradford before they even made legion , when legion came out it blew my mind , I loved it immediately , the band I was in used to play a cover of dead but dreaming and sacrificial suicide , back in 93 that was a serious flex of a band musical skills , no bands dared to cover deicide songs, they were just to fast ,difficult to play , and lots of the local death metal bands would turn their nose up at deicide ( not because they didn't like it ,because the band they were in couldn't play the stuff ) especially the drummers , nicko,Dave and Steve are my drumming heroes and I was lucky enough to be able to play slayer , deicide songs because I would practice to them every day hours at a time , DEICIDE are seriously underated , Steve's playing changed death metal drumming just like Dave Lombardo's drumming changed thrash ,
    And Glenn is a fkn awesome bass player and front man ,it's criminal that bands such as slipknot didn't take deicide out as a support act during their world tours , Joey ,Paul,Mick all said deicide were a massive influence on them , anyway at least Glenn and Steve kept deicide going after Eric and Brian ( left or got booted out ) on the scars of the crucifix tour , I saw the one performance the Hoffman's did in the UK on that tour , the tension and atmosphere between the Hoffman's and Glenn was vicious , I think deicide have done some amazing albums with Ralph and Jack , and now Kevin and the newest guitarist ,but what most people don't realise is Steve ashiem has written at least half the music on every album since the begining , he's a brilliant shredder , I raise my glass to the best death metal band in the world
    DEICIDE ! Fuck yeah!

    The most awesome thing about Glenn’s vocals is that not only is he the most brutal of the bunch, but he’s also the most clear. Really fucking odd. I almost never need to read the lyrics. I did struggle with Stench Of Redemption, but I think that may have been more on the production end rather than Glenn’s vocals.

      If you want a startling contrast of clarity between vocalists Cryptopsy is an excellent example. Lord Worm's vocals aren't even words, he's just shouting his head off (love 'em to bits). Their next vocalist has some of the best diction I've heard in extreme metal.

      It also has to do with him going for an even more brutal approach on that album. The more guttural, the less understandable a vocalist, is usually the case. Same with, eg. Frank Mullen. I can understand him most of the time, but at his most extreme, on Effigy of the Forgotten, he's very hard to understand. Which I love as well. 'Stench...' is a fantastic album \m/
