Decent live album
I enjoy this album a lot and dont understand why some fans have given in a negative review. Name a classic Deicide song and its most likely on this disc. I have 1 complaint - the opening track has this annoying cracking, static sound that destroys your speakers. I have purchased this CD new, used and even different versions to see if the problem was the disc or the recording itself. I was wondering if anyone else noticed this ? Too bad, cause that opening song is really good.

If you're a Deicide fan, pick this up.


Oh...my Lord...
I've never met a live album like this!
This is all I can say, but one thing is, my lord, Benton's vocal is amazing!
Full of hatred, anger with dignity. . seems like a contradiction but there's no way
to describe his vocal. As Benton said, their music is "Satanic Rock'n'Roll", and he wants us to enjoy it,
but actually, there's no way not to enjoy this album. Why don't you try?.


Sounds like ... a butt kicking live album!!!
And I say that the DM genre has put out some quality, butt kicking live albums!

And the proof is in those live releases from Morbid Angel, Malevolent Creation, Cryptopsy and this effort from Deicide!

It's not going to sound exactly like the studio recording, it's not going to sound exactly like the live gig . For f***s sake! Live albums are live albums!! I'm a DM fan but I don't just listen to DM. . . it's going to sound like, well . . . a live album!

I myself like live albums and this is a great example by any standards. True fans should have both the studio and the live stuff . . .

P. S. DM Bass lines are notoriously difficult to put through on any type of album, so there's nothing new there! And there's nothing wrong with Benton's vocals on this album .


Good Live Album
Guitarists Eric and Brian Hoffman, drummer Steve Asheim, and vocalist/bassist Glen Benton are running the show. The heaviness, the brutallity, the pulse pounding adrenaline, it's all here. My only complaint is there's only one song from the band's second album Legion, and that song being Dead But Dreaming, but this album still has plenty of their classic songs (via Roadrunner days). Deicide's music is great regardless of their lyrics, and I think every death metal fan should own this album. DEAD BY DAWN!.


Live Deicide
I brought is in the fall of 1998. This is another favorite album in my Deicide collection. I've listened to Deicide before but I've never seen or heard them live. I already had all their records. So there was no reason who I shouldn't get this album. So I got it at a Camelot Music store and I listened to it all the way home on my CD walkman and I enjoyed the hell of of it.

Now for my review. This is Deicide's first live album. It was done live at the International House Of Blues. With album, you will hear Deicide like you never heard them before. The intensity, heavines, brutality, aggression and evil is all here. The production and sound is a little in the vain of Serpents Of The Light since it was during the Serpents Of The Light tour but it's really good. The album also has a lot of the classics and some of the new tunes from Serpents Of The Light. The only problem is that there's not too many songs off of Legion. There's only Dead But Dreaming but the album is still good no doubt. It's Deicide at their best. Some of the best songs here are When Satan Rules His World, Bastards Of Christ, Dead But Dreaming, Children Of The Underworld, Serpents Of The Light, Believe The Lie, Oblivious To Evil, Father Bakers', Dead By Dawn and Sacrificial Suicide. Buy this album and find out what it's like when Satan lives.
