Description

Calling a Deicide album more accessible is kind of like calling a velociraptor less lethal than a T-Rexyoure gonna die either way. But on 1997 Serpents of the Light, the fourth album from the Tampa death metal quartet, Glen Benton rage-filled imprecations are a little more intelligible and songs like Slave to the Cross and Blame It on God do sport choruses that verge upon being hooky (if you have a meathook in mind). The anti-religion invective remains unabated, howeverthis remains music in extremis despite the stripped-down production. For its first-ever standalone U.S. LP release, weve remastered Serpents of the Light for vinyl and given it a deathly blue pressing complete with an inner sleeve featuring lyrics and a 12 x 24 poster of the cover image. Not for even the faintly faint of heart.
