After the disappointing "In Torment In Hell" album many fans of the band were probably fearing a break-up when Glen Benton was set to appear as the vocalist on the latest Vital Remains album. Now you don't have to fear any longer though as Deicide is back on track again with a brand new album and a new major metal label (Earache Records) backing them up. Earache now provides a creative outlet for two of the biggest death metal bands in the world - Deicide and Morbid Angel - and maybe they are now moving to the forefront of modern metal once again. While "Scars Of The Crucifix" clearly display a Deicide back in form it does not sound exactly like the early releases from the band. First of all the production is a lot more clear and powerful this time around. Second Deicide have dared to include some more modern sounding influences in their still very characteristic style. A little bit more laid-back riffing can be heard at times but most of all this oozes of Deicide and nothing else. It is fast, anti-christian, brutal and tight as hell just the way old fans of the band like it. There is some minor experimentation in the vocal department but in general Benton uses his regular voice that we all have gotten used to, this time a bit more varied and darker though. The lyrics are as cheesy and straight-forward as always and the album is less than half an hour long but that's Deicide. The controversial deathsters are back with one of the finest death metal attacks in a long time.
