Deicide: Children of the Underworld - The Complete Roadrunner Years, 8CD Box Set

• 82-track, eight disc set from legendary Satanic death metal agitators Deicide.

• Featuring the band’s entire Roadrunner Records catalogue, which includes some of the most important - not to mention best-selling - albums ever released in the death metal genre.

• Includes the studio albums ‘Deicide’, ‘Legion’, ‘Once Upon the Cross’, ‘Serpents of the Light’, ‘Insineratehymn’, ‘In Torment In Hell’ as well as the demo collection ‘Amon: Feasting the Beast’ and the live set ‘When Satan Lives’.

Formed in 1987 in Tampa, Florida, and eventually settling on Deicide as a band name in 1989, the addition of vocalist/bassist Glen Benton upped the controversy surrounding the band considerably.

Pushing an overtly satanic and anti-Christian message, Benton famously branded an upside-down crucifix into his forehead. After a notorious NME interview, the band were targeted by animal rights activists leading to bomb scares in Sweden and the UK. Refusing to compromise, the band baited conservatives with provocative songs such as ‘Behead The Prophet (No Lord Shall Live)’, ‘Christ Denied’ and infamously, ‘Kill the Christian’.

In 2005 Deicide were featured in the BBC series Death Metal Murders, a programme seeking to connect murders in Italy with the band’s music. As far back as 1991 in the ‘Dancing with the Devil’ piece broadcast on Channel 4, Benton claimed to be possessed.

Both ‘Deicide’ and ‘Legion’ are officially certified among the Top Five biggest selling Death Metal records of all time in the US according to Soundscan. The band continue to record and tour to this day.

This release features extensive liner notes from respected writer Dom Lawson, including new interviews with producer Scott Burns and A&R legend Monte Conner, Akercocke drummer and Deicide superfan David Gray, as well as Cradle of Filth founding member Paul Ryan.

Exclusive to this release is a brand-new extensive interview conducted in early 2025 with Deicide drummer, songwriter and founding member Steve Asheim.

Housed in a rigid slipcase box with a debossed ‘Trifixion’ logo, the CDs are presented in quality card wallets and are complimented by four reproduction postcards featuring classic images of the band, together with a huge booklet that details the incredible story of one of the most notorious bands in death metal history.
