Deicide — Hellfest, Clisson, 2026

Pioneers of American death metal, Florida’s Deicide have carried a sulfurous reputation since 1987, driven by Glen Benton’s guttural vocals and bass. This live concert, filmed by ARTE Concert at the Hellfest Open Air in Clisson in 2026, captures the band on one of Europe’s biggest stages devoted to extreme metal. The high-quality recording conveys the intensity of a compact, brutal set that strings together early classics — “Sacrificial Suicide,” “Once Upon the Cross,” “Serpents of the Light” — with the rhythmic precision of drummer Steve Asheim. Slicing riffs, blast beats and blasphemous imagery: Deicide concedes nothing and delivers death metal faithful to its fundamentals. Filmed before a white-hot festival crowd, this full concert illustrates the longevity of a cult band and the vitality of the death metal scene at France’s great metal mass, Hellfest. An ideal live document for fans of extreme metal and raw energy, shot with the production standards ARTE Concert is known for.
