Glen Benton doesn’t just spit blasphemy—he rewrites Scripture with blast beats. In “Conquered by Sodom,” Deicide torches Catholic hypocrisy from within the biblical frame, turning fire and brimstone on the so-called moral elite. #Deicide #DeathMetal #CatholicChurch #Sodom #ReligiousCritique #MetalLyrics #GlenBenton #ScarsOfTheCrucifix

Blast Beat Exegesis: Glen Benton’s Conquered by Sodom as Biblical Satire

Add “Conquered by Sodom” (2004) to “The Pentecostal,” and Deicide was officially on a roll in Scars of the Crucifix. In this song, frontman/lyricist Glen Benton draws an analogy between Sodom and t…

Is Cannibal Corpse’s “Decency Defied” more than gore for gore’s sake? In a track that singles out tattooed skin for a serial killer’s collection, Jack Owen flips the script on death metal tropes—and takes a brutal jab at moral hypocrisy. Sometimes the real horror is the authoritarian hiding behind “decency.”

Decency Defied: Cannibal Corpse, Tattoos, and Moral Hypocrisy

“Decency Defied” (2004) sounds almost like a stock phrase for a Cannibal Corpse song title. After all, isn’t the band’s entire reason for existing the defiance of decency? This track from The Wretc…

“Feasting on the Blood of the Insane” isn’t just gore for gore’s sake. Six Feet Under’s brutal anthem doubles as a character study of a killer spiraling into addiction and delusion. A look at death metal’s surprising capacity for nuance—buried beneath the blood and thunder.

“Feasting on the Blood of the Insane”: A Closer Look at Six Feet Under’s Serial Killer Serenade

Six Feet Under is not the first band that would come to mind when discussing thinking man’s death metal. Nonetheless, “Feasting on the Blood of the Insane” (1999) is a bit sharper than your average…

In “Taphephobia,” Sodom isn't afraid of death — they’re afraid of surviving. This is more than a war song. It’s about being spiritually buried alive in a world that rewards numbness and punishes dissent.
💀 Fear of burial becomes fear of consciousness.

Sodom’s “Taphephobia” and the Horror of Survival

My first thought listening to Sodom’s “Taphephobia” (2025) was: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. The impression came mostly from the German band’s tenuous …

Cookie Monster vocals. Pig squeals. A birthday meltdown. Despised Icon’s “Snake in the Grass” makes me wonder: what if we shouldn’t understand the lyrics?

Bree bree bree = emotional repression in 4/4 time.

SNAKE IN THE GRASS (2019) by Despised Icon

I can’t decide whether the lyrics to Despised Icon’s “Snake in the Grass” are too intelligible for deathcore or not unintelligible enough to make up for what they’re actually saying.  Despised…
