Legion is still Deicide's best album. "Once Upon the Cross" feels more comical to me, like a parody of themselves on the first 2, "When Satan Rules His World" is so by the numbers it is hilarious.. but the riff is cool... "Once Upon the Cross" was the first Death Metal album I listened to. Still holds memories for me.
Self-Titled, Legion and The Stench of Redemption are my top 3 personally. "When Satan Lives" is one of my favorite live albums as well.
I find Glen Benton to be like a cartoon character. I never can take him seriously. Especially on the post-Legion stuff.

Many years ago I listened to the material Deicide put out after "Once Upon the Cross", and, well, it left a strong enough impression I can say honestly I've no desire to check out what Benton is currently up to, particularly since the Hoffman brothers left. That being stated, "Dechristianize" had some brilliant moments on it, but there doesn't seem to be any.... songs.
But, yeah, Benton is an idiot. He used to prattle about how he'd commit suicide at age 33(?) to prove he was the antithesis to Jesus. Of course, though, Euro liberals think he's "serious business", and actually have called multiple bomb threats against Deicide shows because, during an interview at his Florida home, he got out a 22 and shot some squirrels. Just when you think an attention whore vocalist of a Florida D.M. band is King Retard, too....
