Other entries and even the caption of the main page's image contradicts the statement that NOBODY can name anything after Legion.

* FirstInstallmentWins: Name one Deicide album that's not ''Deicide'' or ''Legion''? Now can you name the album that comes after Deicide's sophomore album, ''Legion''? The usual reason why nobody can answer these questions is due to those two aforementioned records carrying a very strong legacy. Both albums are the only Deicide records that are unimpeachable classics, while many of the followups being Main/SoOkayItsAverage or heavily dated. Both albums are also among the best-selling death metal albums according to Nielsen [=SoundScan=] with ''Deicide'' believed to be the best-selling death metal album ever as the album's sales prior to March 1st, 1991 were not reported by [=SoundScan=]. It's estimated that the missing sales for ''Deicide'' are bigger than the ones provided by [=SoundScan=].

* NeverLiveItDown: Like Allen West and his post-Obituary/Six Feet Under life, Eric Hoffman's post-Deicide life has become one giant string of these. Filing a frivolous lawsuit over royalties that he was supposedly owed that was dropped when his lawyer relieved himself of the case after Steve Asheim produced a video during discovery that proved that Hoffman had no grounds to sue ''at all''? Check. Repeatedly making empty threats against Benton and Asheim for over ten years? Check. Charging people to view a music video for one Amon song after he got the name back and got a new lineup? Check. Verbally abusing and blocking fans on Facebook who gave constructive criticism regarding song titles and lyrics ''after asking for advice''? Check. Having a ''massive'' falling-out with Brian and then going back and forth between pretending that Brian was still in Amon (when he quit in 2011) and vilifying him? Check. ''Suing labels for selling Amon albums after he had legally given them the rights to do so?'' Check. To be fair, the man is clearly not right in the head, but his antics have become the stuff of legend and "Eric Hoffman" is fast becoming shorthand in the metal community for deranged, delusional behavior.

Dork Age was renamed

* AudienceAlienatingEra: ''Insineratehymn'' and ''In Torment in Hell'' are pretty much universally considered to be this by the fanbase, and a lot of fans tend to lump ''Scars of the Crucifix'' in as well. Whether they temporarily exited this with ''The Stench of Redemption'' or stayed here until ''In the Minds of Evil'' really seems to depend on the fan and is entirely based around their opinion on Ralph Santolla; that being said, most fans are of the opinion that the two post-''Stench'' Santolla albums just aren't very good. The band seems to be in agreement when it comes to ''Till Death Do Us Part'', as they haven't played anything off the album in years and have more or less admitted that they half-assed it just to deliver a final album for Earache and get out of a shitty contract.

* {{Narm}}: A ''very'' common criticism directed at Benton's lyrics, which have never really progressed beyond "fuck religion and fuck God too" in the 33 years that the band has been around (this is counting when they went by the "Amon" moniker as well). This ''also'' aplies to Burton having an inverted cross scar on his forehead from the amount of times he burned it.
