Deicide, Broken Hope + More Unleash Chaos in New York City

Death metalers Deicide played to a packed house over the weekend at Irving Plaza in New York City. Ear-blistering support included Broken Hope, Disgorge, Necronomicon and Day of Doom.

Deicide completely obliterated the crowd as they left ear drums battered, necks sore and muscles torn. Frontman Glen Benton is known for his gutturals but his deep yet humorous voice in between sets is comparable to that of the eeriness of actor Jack Nicholson. Not to mention, Benton gave New Yorkers a taste of their own medicine as he spat out some crude humor at the crowd.

Pits unraveled and crowd surfers let loose as the band performed ‘Dead By Dawn,’ ‘Sacrificial Suicide’ and ‘They Are the Children of the Underworld’ among other old favorites. Not only did Benton spew venom with each song but long time drummer Steve Asheim and the rest of the band performed with swift precision.

Benton also teased Deicide’s eleventh studio record ‘In The Minds of Evil’ by saying “The whole record rips your face off from start to finish.” ‘In The Minds of Evil’ is due out on Nov. 26 through Century Media Records.

Label mates Broken Hope also brought some serious aggression as they are on tour in support of their new album ‘Omen of Disease.' California metalers Disgorge poured an extreme amount of intensity into their set and the crowd definitely seemed to feel the force of their performance. The band is gearing up to release their fifth studio album in late 2013.

Necronomicon donned black and white facepaint as they got the headbangers going early on while the Long Island boys of Day of Doom opened kicked off the night with some serious gutturals. Go here for a full list of Deicide dates.
