Biography

Glen Michael Benton (born June 18, 1967) is an American musician, best known as the lead vocalist, bassist and lyricist for the Florida death metal band Deicide. He and drummer Steve Asheim are the only original members left in the band. Benton was also a member of the band Vital Remains, occasionally recording and performing with the band. He is known for his extremely low and powerful growls, high shrieks, and overtly anti-Christian lyrics. His music and personal life have been subject to controversy at various points throughout his career. Described as "an artist whose public persona and music will forever be intertwined," Benton has been referred to as "the face of Satanic death metal". Metal Injection said Benton "will absolutely go down as one of death metal's most well-known characters."
