Those of you who saw my Massive Metal Monday column for this week may recognize that I’m on a bit of a Glen Benton kick this week. From 2003-2007, the Deicide frontman served double duty as the singer of fellow Florida band Vital Remains. The unholy union would yield two albums worth of some of the most brutal death metal ever recorded — 2003’s Dechristianize and 2007’s Icons of Evil.
This week’s Black Metal Friday featured song is the title track off of Dechristianize. Crank this one up loud and let your neighbors believe that you’ve opened a portal to Hell itself! And if you like what you’re hearing, be sure to check out Vital Remains’ extensive catalog.
No they certainly aren’t. But they are blackened death metal and my column covers all things blackened. Thanks for your vigilant policing of the internet though.

Vital Remains is not black metal
