I am not a fan of compilations generally. I usually see them as opportunistic releases designed to boost the coffers of the associated record company who have been fortunate enough to scoop the demo recordings or greatest hits rights to a band's back catalogue. That withstanding, 'Amon: Feasting The Beast' actually has relevance beyond appealing to just the avid uber-fan of Deicide. It is a release that showcases the raw talent, energy and commitment of the band before they became the death metal household name we all recognise to be Deicide.
There's still some turkeys on here, the second attempt at 'Sacrificial Suicide' sounds like Benton has a lisp and is just ridiculous, for example. However, as a release of a piece of death metal history, 'Amon...' stands up well enough. It is hard to get too excited by it, likewise difficult to extend paragraphs enough to stretch to a full review of the release.
