Deicide is back!! Yes, they are back doing what they best know and that is their death metal with their full-of-hate lyrics and with those brutal vocals (as always Glen Benton is doing his guttural shouts ). There are some riffs here that can be considered new for Deicide, for example the first one in "Standing In the Flames" (before they enter on the high speed mode and in some breaks that they use in the middle). Demolition man Steve Asheim is in great shape as always, going from fast parts to slow and back without any problems. I think that maube the band should explore riffs like the ones in the beginning of "Remnant of Hopeless Path" or maybe the ones in the beginning of "Worst Enemy" to give more variation to their music. Favorite tracks: "Forever Hate You", "Remnant of a Hopeless Path" and "Suffer Again". Contact: www.roadrunnerrecords.com
