Best of Deicide

Popularity19.8

Best of Deicide is a compilation from the Florida death metal band, released on 23 September 2003 through Roadrunner Records. It gathers 20 songs from the band's catalogue with that label, which they had only recently left after a record deal that had run throughout their career.

The selection draws on their Roadrunner years but leaves out anything from In Torment in Hell, their 2001 album. Arriving a year before Scars of the Crucifix, it works as a tidy look back over the early part of the Deicide story, from their self-titled debut in 1990 onwards. If you want a broad sweep of their first era in one sitting, or a way into a band that has kept going into the 2020s, this is a handy place to start.
