Deicide 'Scars of the Crucifix'

Deicide unleashed a fierce return to form with their 2004 release 'Scars of the Crucifix', marking their debut on Earache Records. The album delivers nine uncompromising tracks that reaffirm the band’s status as one of death metal’s seminal forces. Known for their unrelenting anti-Christian themes, Deicide channels venom, hatred, and aggression into a brutal assault of blast-beats, ferocious riffing, and Glen Benton’s unmistakable growls.

Recorded at the legendary Morrisound Studios in Florida, 'Scars of the Crucifix' captures a raw, punishing sound that harks back to Deicide’s early ferocity while pushing their technical mastery even further. The album’s direct and grim approach resonated with longtime fans and introduced a new generation to the band’s relentless brand of death metal. As their first release after departing their previous label, 'Scars of the Crucifix' stands as a statement of defiance and creative resurgence, solidifying Deicide’s enduring legacy in extreme metal.
