Deicide is an American death metal band formed in 1987. Their first two albums, Deicide and Legion, are ranked second and third place in best-selling death metal albums of the SoundScan era.
As Amon (1987-1989)
Deicide was formed in Tampa, Florida July 21, 1987, after guitarist Brian Hoffman called Glen Benton, replying to an advertisement the latter had placed in a local music magazine. They are influenced by bands such as Destruction, Sodom, Venom, Bathory, Possessed, Death and Slayer. Within days the band, consisting of Benton (bass/vocals), Hoffman, Hoffman’s brother Eric (guitars) and Steve Asheim (drums), had been named Amon after the Egyptian deity. Within a month, Amon had recorded crude Feasting the Beast 8-track demo in Benton’s garage and had started playing the occasional gig in the Tampa area. In 1989, Amon recorded their second demo, Sacrificial, at Morrisound with producer Scott Burns.
However, before being known as Amon, the band was known as Carnage: “Carnage consisted of 5 members the 2 members were let go. Glen was found in a local music magazine. We had him play bass. And another singer was hired. He could not phrase properly so he was let go. Then we decided have Glen sing. Amon was brought into this world.”- Eric Hoffman
Malevolent Creation guitarist Phil Fasciana recalls an early Amon show: “It was like Slayer intensified a thousand times.

Do you understand the meaning of redundant? Also, Bwahahahaha. You're hilarious. adding experimental elements to their music. That's the best joke I've heard in a long while. Also, Wolves In The Throne Room are pure Black Metal.

"Mayhem only released about one actual Black Metal album. All the rest are just "Post-Black Metal."" Hmm, what two words do you notice in the word "post-black metal," maybe...black metal? Your statement is utterly redundent, as "trve black metalz" is not an actual genre. You would do better to say "old-school black metal" or "raw black metal," as those actually address the nature of the music. Btw, Mayhem never made post-black metal (those would be bands like Krallice and Wolves in the Throne Room), they simply added experimental elements to their music.

It is actually not deceptice to talk about Black Metal when talking about Deicide. Both, Possessed and Deicide were temporarily considered Black Metal because of their attitude. That's why they are much more famous than e.g. Malecolent Creation ;)
