The beast unleashed
These demos are perhaps the best demos in history of this style. Brilliant death/black metal like only Deicide can make. The songs are fast, unmercyfully dark and blasphemous. If you don't like Deicide, don't listen to this band, they're not for you, never were. All you christians and other cowards lurking from behind the corner, writing negative, idiotic, senseless reviews only fuels this band while you drown in your hypocrisy. .


The true roots of Deicide.
It contains all music from their debut album "Deicide" and though these versions are all earlier demos recorded before that debut album, the first six songs on this album are all VERY good quality demos, and in my opinion, are a little better than on the finished album. This is a killer disc. The next four tracks are really early demos that were recorded in the garage just weeks after the formation of the band. The quality is as bad as one could expect, but like the band says in the liner notes, it is a cool thing to listen to and see where the band came from.

The liner notes in the cover are pretty cool as well. They give the listener a brief timeline of the band from the initial formation of the band Amon, to the recording of the first album from the band we now know as Deicide.

In the end what you have is something that you can't find from most bands. This is a must for any Deicide fan. As for the casual listner, the first six songs are as good, if not better than the songs on the first Deicide album. It's definately worth the ten bucks or whatever you'll pay for it.


Sound quality sub-par, but they are Demos.
When we listen to a Deicide album we expect to hear polished God-hating lyrics delivered with a veil of blast beats and over-distorted guitar. Deicide is one of the best, if not the best American death metal band. Amon: Feasting the Beast gives us a little listen to the side of Deicide that we are not that familiar with. For the first time we can hear Deicide as a raw unpolished noise making juggernaut. This is what Deicide sounded like before they got the expensive studio overhaul and whatever else. Scarificial Suicide is heard as it was never heard before but still stands out as the best song on this CD.
This album is recommended to all hardcore Deicide fans and also to all the fans of Death Metal who prefer their music as they prefer their meat: raw and bloody.


Demo's !
The best track is definetly 'Sacrificial Suicide' and is also one the major gun songs in metal history. Great album these demos are much much better than the re-recorded versions on their disapointing LP. Not a must buy but if you find it get it because i do believe its going out of print.


feasting the beast...
You can see how far the band came from this album to it newer ones. Makes you want go out and hit something. Best track would have to be "Dead by Dawn". The album is very fast and hard pounding. Glen's voice was alot different, he still didnt have that harsh blood in your throat sound that he has now. . but a must have for any metal head.
