There are very few bands that have been able to pull a late game comeback; Megadeth came back roaring with 2009?s Endgame, Cradle of Filth reinvented themselves with 2015?s Hammer of the Witches, and OSDM stalwarts Deicide coincidentally pulled a miracle out of nowhere when they released The Stench of Redemption in 2005 after a near decade of phoning it in. Much like the other examples it was a changing of the guard that breathed new life into this husk of a band. Legends Jack Owen (of Cannibal Corpse fame) and Ralph Santolla (RIP) joined the group after the exit of the bug-eyed Hoffman brothers, and completely reinvigorated the project. By adding just the smallest dose of melody alongside classic, unrelenting death metal riffage, Deicide -for a short moment in time- climbed their way out of irrelevance and managed to position themselves on top the death metal heap once again. If you kept reading and made it to this part, do yourself a favor and just listen, you won?t regret it.

Unfortunately, for me, this release hasn't aged well. I remember really digging this release when it came out but in 2010 it is simply average to me.

Some of the best Deicide around, excellent melodies, brutality and overall awesomeness. Pretty fun to listen to, that's for sure.

Jack Owen (ex. cannibal corpse) really annihilated this album, not only did he completely elevate Deicide to a new level of brutallity but he also forged a beautiful blend of unique shreds and riffs that makes this album "almost" progressive. Although it is a brand new sound for Deicide it's the BEST they have ever sounded EVER!

First off. I cannot stand American death metal. It all sounds the same, has repetitive riffing, has boring vocals, and the soloing sounds fantastic but isn't as good as thrash metal's mediocre soloing.
But this CD changed all that. The solos are top of the line. Glen Benton's vocals are great to scream along with, there are a few great screams here and there (not overdone), the riffing doesn't get boring that quick, the songs sound different, and it still has the tear-your-soul-out intensity that got me to try to get into death metal in the first place. Fantastic CD, one of the top 3 of the year, and Walk with the Devil in the Dreams you Behold gets my vote for 2006 Song of the Year.

Glen Benton and his posse of grumpy devil-worshippers came back with a punch on this record, the first featuring their two new guitarists. The guitar work is exceptional, with riffs as hooky as death metal will get anytime soon and some blazing solos for good measure. Sure Benton hasn't changed his lyrical content since...well, ever- but it's still a solid release from a veteran metal band.
