About
Deicide’s music was so technically precise that longtime fans had a right to be doubtful that it could ever accurately translate to a live album. 1998’s <i>When Satan Lives</i> proved the naysayers wrong. Recorded in one hot August night at Chicago's House of Blues, this live set is even tighter and more intense than the band’s famously hellacious studio albums. Much credit is due engineer Steve Remote, a mobile production specialist who had worked with Gil Evans, Denis Leary, and Hall & Oates, among hundreds of others. Remote wasn't necessarily a metal fan but he still ended up giving Deicide what might be the best-sounding album of their career. Every song comes off loud and full and in-your-face, as if the band have the listener completely surrounded at every turn. Even lifelong death metal experts will hear “Dead by Dawn” and “Sacrificial Suicide” in a new light. Of course, the engineering only serves to highlight the band’s impeccable playing. They never miss a beat, pushed forward by Steve Asheim's maniacally aerobic drumming.
