More Info:
Calling a Deicide album "more accessible" is kind of like calling a velociraptor less lethal than a T-Rex... you're gonna die either way. But on 1997's Serpents of the Light, the fourth album from the Tampa death metal quartet, Glen Benton's 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, however... this remains music in extremis despite the stripped-down production. For it's first-ever standalone U.S. LP release, we've 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.
