LABEL: Real Gone Music
RELEASE DATE: 05/08/2026
VARIANT: Remastered, Milky Clear w/Blood Splatter Vinyl LP

From the cover art to the lyrics, death metal legends Deicide didn’t give an inch when it came to their uncompromising anti-church stance on their 1995 release Once Upon the Cross. In fact, the album included samples from the film The Last Temptation of Christ, which was itself accused of blasphemy. But the band was hardly standing still, as the gobsmacking guitar pyrotechnics of Eric and Brian Hoffman and furious fusillades of bassist/vocalist Glen Benton and drummer Steve Asheim became ever more awe-inspiring and, dare we say it, miraculous. For its first widespread U.S. vinyl release, we are giving Once Upon the Cross a milky clear with blood splatter pressing remastered for the format, complete with printed inner sleeve featuring lyrics.
