Deicide - Once Upon The Cross (Record Store Day) [30th Anniversary] (Autobots Colour Vinyl)

From the cover art to the lyrics, death metal legends Deicide didn’t give an inch when it came to their uncompromising anti-church stance on their 1995 release Once Upon the Cross. In fact, the album included samples from the film The Last Temptation of Christ, which was itself accused of blasphemy. But the band was hardly standing still, as the gobsmacking guitar pyrotechnics of Eric and Brian Hoffman and furious fusillades of bassist/vocalist Glen Benton and drummer Steve Asheim became ever more awe-inspiring and, dare we say it, miraculous. For its 30th anniversary, we are giving Once Upon the Cross its American vinyl debut with a fresh remastering for vinyl by Mike Milchner at Sonic Vision Mastering.
