I'm interviewing him on Tuesday, and don't give a crap about Glen Benton, only the music

if anyone has any questions for him, just post them here.

You can waste your finger muscles typing useless sass which I'll just ignore anyway, or be serious and have me include extreme metal drumming ???'s as part of the interview.

how many guns does he own?

I am curious if he does some kind of cardio vascular conditioning to keep the stamina throughout the live set?

Why hasnt the problem with the MA authorities been straightened out yet? Deicide have been banned here since 1999

now that is a good question

How can you tolerate being in the same band with shithead Glen?

read original post.

I'll ask a question or two about the songwriting dynamic, but all everyone ever talks about regarding Deicide is that midget douche. Don't care, it's a tired topic. Just like the Satan crap.

TALK ABOUT METAL

Glen is what makes Deicide cool.Take him out of the band and there wouldnt be a Deicide.Its like Slayer without Tom Arraya.I have no questions for Steve besides the one about the ban in MA

^^ haha ^^

Not that Glen is a cool guy but his voice is the key to Deicide's sound.

Ask him what their decision was with The Stench of Redemption album to suddenly inject a lot more musicality into the songs (anyone who has heard it knows what I mean).

Note that I'm not complaining, I actually like it.

Fuck Im rambling here.Im out of it tonight.Lack of sleep and a cold will do that to you.Good luck with the interview man

Musicality aka less sucking

Well the bnad lineup changed, of course the songs will be different.

vomitthesoul said:

you go, girl!

who are his main influences? what does he prefer to listen to?

Heh, I didn't want to put it that way, but, yeah.

What I'd like to know from anyone in an old DM band:
With everything that's happened since the first Deicide record, and all the ways that metal has branched out (slam death/ultra tech stuff/more mainstream metal channel junk) what exactly is Deicide's role in 2006? Does the band still consider itself a leader like it was 10 years ago, or are they forced to find a place for themselves in the current scheme of things?

Do you think that with the advances of technology specifically in the last 5 years, and the rammifications of said advances in terms of music (increased production quality, internet accessibility, person to person file sharing, increased marketability, etc) do you think newer bands have sacrificed innovation and subversion for higher production quality and more exposure?

Wow, yeah. That's a really good question.

I was listening to Possessed "Seven Churches" last night. The production quality is pretty bad, and it was probably difficult as hell to market it back in it's day, but it was an amazing release for it's time. A DM band that starts up today has 100x the opportunities that Possessed had (better production, CHEAPER means of production, myspace, mp3s, CDRs, etc)but musically it seems there isn't a ton of ground left to cover. Food for thought kids. Food for thought.

There's still a lot of ground to cover in metal, people just have to actually listen to it instead of thinking anything new and different is threatening or 'gay'.

For example, that new Blut Aus Nord. Mind rape, and I've never heard anything like it.

There's nothing wrong with some well-done traditional metal either.

Compared to their earlier albums, Musicality aka conformity to mainstream rock expectations.

Glen is a PRIMARY influence on my vocals in Hekseri, but I know I never wanna meet him if I can avoid it!

Sexism warning! No, no no!

HAHAHA put that issue of Harper's Magazine down for 30 seconds and read what I was responding to

litacore said:

I find Harper's far too conservative these days. They failed to note racist implications of the color scheme Laura Bush picked for the white house (brown carpets underfoot, white walls above shoulder level).

hmmmm, so I assume you have no questions for Deicide then

I have always wondered if "Sacrifical Suicide" was not about a Jew in Hitler's racist and anti-Semitic death camps, praying to a god who would in turn have him killed. Poignant, in that light.

okay, that's actually best so far.
you just upstaged anonymous!

Victory to the Soviet Union - I mean John Kerry.
