It appears that the Hoffman brothers (Brian and Eric -- guitars) have been
fired from Deicide. While I understand the given reasons behind this
(detrimental drug use, easily distracted from the band by homelife, excessive
show cancellations, etc.), I still cannot shake the feeling that it is all
wrong. Maybe its because Brian and Eric have been in the band from the
beginning. They formed the band, back when it was called Amon. They, with Steve
Ashiem (drummer), hired Glen Benton (vocals), for hell's sake. Though I can
relate to Benton and Ashiem's reasons for giving the Hoffmans the boot, it just
isn't Deicide without them. It really and truly isn't, just as it wouldn't be
without Benton or Ashiem.
When the latest Deicide album was released, I was smitten. No more rushed
releases to finish the horrible contract with Roadrunner. No more bullshit
garage demo quality. No more filler. Scars of the Crucifix was a top-notch
Deicide release just brimming with sheer blasphemy and pure evil. The
excitement I held upon hearing this release was indescribable. One of my
all-time favorite bands, within the death metal genre and beyond, was wholly
and truly back. Now, its all ruined. Sure, the new line up containing members
of Vital Remains will produce an incredible album, but without the Hoffmans, it
is not Deicide. "Deicide's Remains," I'll call it. I'll surely buy it, listen
to it, and if past VR material is any sign, I'll love it -- but I will not call
it Deicide.
