What you have to remember is that this was almost twenty years ago when Deicide were young men. Things were a lot different then. Deicide DID make an impact because of things like this. Its all very juvenile, but thats pretty much what they were really. Anyway, that first Deicide record is probably the most EVIL sounding record ever made.
He is quite a comedian, but all things aside, we all know it's an act , part of the business of the music industry. Again all these things aside he is probably the best vocalist in death metal.
I suppose we could just laugh hysterically to this, but that really got me when he said... "Once something posses over you, there is no turning back..." That kind of scared me!
I truly can't tell if he is completely serious or not. I know 90 % of commenters here believe he's trolling this interviewer. I just don't know...they way he says "of course.." When asked if he himself was possessed...
Hi! You don't know me, my name is Tina! Do you know where you're going when you die? Do you want to go to Heaven? You can! You are a sinner, you can't save yourself,there is nothing you can do to get to Heaven! BUT Jesus loves you soooo much,He died on the cross to pay the penalty for all YOUR sins!! He rose from the grave the third day and ascended to Heaven! If you will realize that you are a sinner and BELIEVE that Jesus did this for you and ask Him to save you,He will! Then you can know that you will go to Heaven when you die!
I remember watching this on C4 during what was called The Band Season or something , basically program's that went against the mould , and in all honesty we wouldn't bat an eye lid to now . How things have changed .
@Andrew Hollingshead Steve said in an interview how Glenn wasn't "spicing up the Satanic rhetoric for fun anymore" when he was taking about Glenn's new way of writing and shifting more towards his personal life experiences. Google Steve Asheim Interview Blabbermouth. Should be the first one that pops up. Good (and funny) interview.
The first time I heard Deicide, I shat myself (not literally) It was Dead By Dawn on the Max Cavalera voice cameo on the LCHC radio, featured on GTA: The Lost And Damned. Glens possessed vocals are the shit! 😈
I just find it puzzling how Christianity done "right" is almost universally positive. I have a lot of friends who profess faith, and while their lives are far from perfect, they're benevolent...kind...good to their families...etc. I wish religious folks could hammer home this aspect of their faith, particularly when folks like Benton happily shout "Kill the Christian," and lace their lyric with anger, murder, & misery. Life on Earth is precious: why waste it in darkness?
@bucball37 i love Deicide and i never felt they were trying to force a message down my throat, im catholic and i dont see anything wrong in listening to Deicide, its just music, as long as it sounds awesome whats the problem?
Very interesting. My eyes are the same way. A matter of fact when I was a toddler my parents and elders always said they thought I was possessed lol I often feel as if Im playing "tug of war" in my head. Sounds crazy but its the best way I can explain how I think and feel.
This was part of a documentary shown in the U.K. which featured the ozzy and Judas Priest USA suicide trials , and backtracking on Queens ‘another one bites the dust’. Can’t find the documentary anywhere.
@msw0322 Glen wrote most of the lyrics, but musically most of the first 2 albums were written by the Hoffman brothers, apparently that changed after the 2nd album and steve started writing a lot of the music
Glen knew people were actually brainwashed enough by the church back then that he could talk that shit all day and sell his cds like crazy, and it was still kick ass metal, freak out the religious nuts, get rich and have a good time.
that he was "all eviled out" and the ignorance of youth to make his band a success was driven by controversy...but deicide are one of the founders of this era and if you like it, good if you don't, good....HAIL lord benton
It sounds like a totally different person than Glen Benton in this interview. I guess he aged a lot from when he was 22 to 28. Listen to his interviews from Once Upon The Cross up until now, he sounds the same.
However, he passed that age in 2000 and did not commit suicide. In 2006, he stated that these statements had been "asinine remarks" and that "only cowards and losers" choose to kill themselves
@SmashedUpFetus I didn't mean to come off like a "groupie" when I posted that. lol I'm not even that big a fan of classic death metal. I think the comment was removed or something though, haha.
Stealing is a sin and so I'm glad he approves of my pirated copies of the Deicide albums.
Glen Benton, trolling Christians since 1967.
Chef Danger why 1967? I'm asking this question 2 yrs later. Lol. I'm aware of that but what is it about the year of 67?
Its the year he was born.
lol DUH!
Trolling? Lol I would call it “edge lord”.
@@devinandres5054 moron, when he was born. How hard was that
He seemed such a loveable dude here. Amazing sense of humor and master-level trolling at such a young age.
"to create the most evilest music" hahahaha, gotta love Glen!
Ah, I remember this when I was a young fella in 1990. "I don't see any harm coming to them..... yet" brilliant!

Icons of evil is a close second
That was the most evilist interview ever. Thanks for posting!
That honour goes to Gaahl, my friend.
I wish I could watch this concert. It's my favorite Era for them.
Lol@ Glen pretending to be a satanist. Trolling skill level: Master.
Brock Bowman well he burned a inverted cross into his forhead I'm not sure he's trolling lol God save him / them in Jesus name amen
@@danielbaugher826 lol hes totally trolling.
@@danielbaugher826 All part of the act. He was supposed to commit suicide before he reached Jesus age on the cross. I see he's still alive.
inflicting bodily harm is trolling? claiming to be a satanist and not only that, he is also possessed. ok, child. dude is incredibly full of shit.
Hes not pretending, but he is trolling, the new age satanists waving rainbow flags are the real posers/cowards
Are you possessed?... Of course.. Lol that made my day :D
"The people that listen to it. I don't see any harm happening to them..........Yet" haha Glen Benton's badass
He scared the shit out of the interviewer.
Mission accomplished! :D
If you listen carefully, you can hear the interviewer Slop his Trousers...
I remember watching this in the early 90's with my parents, who were looking at me, thinking WTF
The greatest troll in metal...
He is quite a comedian, but all things aside, we all know it's an act , part of the business of the music industry. Again all these things aside he is probably the best vocalist in death metal.
I can't believe this is Glen Benton
I thought the same thing
+Soralella71 Agreed lol. He aged terribly lol...
***** Ahaha. That comment made my day.
he used to wear a satanic medallion in the shows or some shit like that, now is a christian cross, so all this satanic crap was pure marketing.
BUT THE UPSIDE DOWN CROSS IS THE SYMBOL OF SAINT PETER, WHO REJECT TO BE CRUCIFIED LIKE JESUS BECAUSE HE CONSIDERS HIMSELF A SINNER.
I suppose we could just laugh hysterically to this, but that really got me when he said... "Once something posses over you, there is no turning back..."
That kind of scared me!

I don't know how he could not explode with laugh, everyone knows he is the biggest metal troll :D
true....but he is one of the best vocals of death metal! Deicide (old one) rules!!!!
He's been a great businessman, Glen. Very savvy. He was the TikTok influencer of his day.
He was just playing around lol

I've seen Deicide twice! First time was with the original lineup, and they were brilliant!
his forehead got bigger over the year
just like my one eyed trouser snake!!!!
It was so easy to troll and fool people like this before the internet and social media. People actually believed that he was somewhat semi sincere.
The first time I heard Deicide, I shat myself (not literally)
It was Dead By Dawn on the Max Cavalera voice cameo on the LCHC radio, featured on GTA: The Lost And Damned. Glens possessed vocals are the shit! 😈

This was from a documentary called 'Dancing With The Devil' I think.
I wish I could have seen them back then, would have been amazing.
:-) It's amusing how he made fun of Euronymous for taking himself too seriously when in this interview one could react the same way too. Funny guy.
can anyone tell me where was that great concert?
Glen lives 15 minutes away from me. My friend is dating his niece. That makes me cooler than you all.
4 years later he recorded some good stuff in morrisound.
My ~ Glen is like John Bender ~ amazin'
It's crazy to think that his voice changed to what it sounds like now only a year after this
He claims it was the tonsil surgery...
He may be possessed
Praise Jesus...
This is from a documentary I saw a long long time ago, anyone know what it's called?
@msw0322
did he write the lyrics for the band? some of the songs are pretty good.
Glen Benton the beast
0:17 makes me laugh every time. epic troll
So where did this interview come from? Btw is there any way to see the entire concert that was featured on this? It actually had pretty good quality.
Thanks Man
@wimpykid93 Does this band still reign over their doom music of yore?
someone know where i can find the complete documentary? There where lot more, like Judas Priest in the court and so on
It's on TH-cam, just look up Dancing With the Devil 1991.
@fenriz218 is this from the MLO or something?
I love it how he's trolling everyone back in 1990.
@bucball37
i love Deicide and i never felt they were trying to force a message down my throat, im catholic and i dont see anything wrong in listening to Deicide, its just music, as long as it sounds awesome whats the problem?
Heh, he's like...22-23 in this. Gold.
Glen benton is my favorite drummer!
nama of the documentary please
Glen Benton is amazing, hes around Clearwater all the time. i want to see deicide baddddddd
He looks so much different without any facial hair.
Very interesting. My eyes are the same way. A matter of fact when I was a toddler my parents and elders always said they thought I was possessed lol I often feel as if Im playing "tug of war" in my head. Sounds crazy but its the best way I can explain how I think and feel.
@MaellaAbbeyFL damn where do you live at dude???
Happy birthday, Glen!
what's the name of this documentary again?
Dancing With the Devil 1991
Holy shit he looks young
First thing that pops up when you search " Glen Benton cringe"
He is a really smart guy..... :Ρ
what if I go to a Deicide concert in Florida wearing a Mayhem shirt or a Burzum shirt or of any Black Metal band?
''yet'' HAHAHA
This man is crazy but i like first deicide album
Nice stuff man!
Glen Benton lol. Even metalheads think he's a joke. Now that's saying something!
decide is so fucking bad ass
@blashyrhkRAAA and may i suggest a song to you also called amazing grace
This was part of a documentary shown in the U.K. which featured the ozzy and Judas Priest USA suicide trials , and backtracking on Queens ‘another one bites the dust’. Can’t find the documentary anywhere.
@thrashmetalpsycho
I think it's from a documentary called Dancing With the Devil, which aired in '91.
If someone throws a dumb question at you, you know what to do
It's called Dance With The Devil. I saw it back in 91.
Mr Benton you will be missed!
Wait so can we be turned back from demonic possession or not?
I can't believe how attractive Glen used to be
What a tender guy!
Glen Benton looks so scary here, his eyes, the forehead :O He's looks freaky as
"are you possessed?" ..."of course" lol
who knows, he was touched in the head then and is still now....so...
He's not a devil worshiper, he's just bullshitting by acting all evil once you get to find more about him.
@69skateordie doesnt that conflict with your religious beliefs?.....im non religious....i dont worship satan nor god.....im just curious
@MySvart
Never even heard of them XD
But Glens voice in dead by dawn D:
JESUS I KINDA JIZZED!
@msw0322 Glen wrote most of the lyrics, but musically most of the first 2 albums were written by the Hoffman brothers, apparently that changed after the 2nd album and steve started writing a lot of the music
Looks like Gaahl, was familiar with this interview when he was doing his famous "Satan ..." interview.
Glen knew people were actually brainwashed enough by the church back then that he could talk that shit all day and sell his cds like crazy, and it was still kick ass metal, freak out the religious nuts, get rich and have a good time.
that he was "all eviled out" and the ignorance of youth to make his band a success was driven by controversy...but deicide are one of the founders of this era and if you like it, good if you don't, good....HAIL lord benton
@1KOOLRIFF
do you seriously think he is serious about everything he says?
@msw0322 what's the irony? just wondering///what's ironic about it?
I think my IQ when down a bit after watching that.
It sounds like a totally different person than Glen Benton in this interview. I guess he aged a lot from when he was 22 to 28. Listen to his interviews from Once Upon The Cross up until now, he sounds the same.
YES, SCHULDINER,TARDY,DRUNEN,TUCKER and of course VINCENT.
OF COURSE.
However, he passed that age in 2000 and did not commit suicide. In 2006, he stated that these statements had been "asinine remarks" and that "only cowards and losers" choose to kill themselves
Yes. Jeff Walker from CARCASS
I remember watching this when I was a teenager! Scared da fuck outta me he never blinks!
Hes just taking a piss out of the interviewer XD
And for those of you wondering--YES, Glen has gargoyle statues outside his house.
hell yeah that's badass
ha, it's cool bro. i loved deicide as a kid (still do).
He looks so different now!
Glen Benton was really cool looking. I mean he still is, but he was really edgy and makes great music.
Now he's balding heavily, and fat as fuke...
But, still going...
@SmashedUpFetus I didn't mean to come off like a "groupie" when I posted that. lol
I'm not even that big a fan of classic death metal. I think the comment was removed or something though, haha.
I totally agree with you.However,this was Glen?He's really different now!
