Reviews

"On Serpents of the Light, the band offers fans more of its infamous dark metal, complete with vocal growls from Glen Benton, perfectly in-sync dual guitar work, and insanely metronome-perfect double bass drumming" "The album's opening title track certainly sets the tone for the rest of the album, encompassing all of Deicide's musical trademarks. What follows is nothing less than a bloody musical onslaught” “Not music for the faint of heart.” [ [http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:j9fpxqyjldde allmusic ((( Serpents of the Light > Overview ))) ] ]
