** Glen's inverted cross scar on his forehead can now be seen as being edgy and if one wants to go even further, his backtracking on wanting to commit suicide at the age of 31 to coincide as a twisted version of Jesus Christ.

Both albums are the only Deicide records that are unimpeachable classics, while many of the followups being Main/SoOkayItsAverage or heavily dated.

* 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.

* {{Squick}}: Back when they were known as Carnage (which was comprised of the Hoffman brothers and Asheim), they had a notoriously over-the-top stage show that, among other things, involved filling up hollowed-out mannequins with rotten offal that they got from butchers. This, predictably, resulted in some interesting scenarios, namely an early show with Morbid Angel (who had pit bulls around as part of their stage show at that time) that resulted in the dogs messily devouring the meat after one of the Hoffmans smashed the mannequin; according to Brian, they had left the meat sitting out all day in the hot Florida sun and the stench was absolutely mindblowing by the time they hit the stage. After an incident where the meat mannequin made such a mess that they got a venue closed down, Carnage essentially became PersonaNonGrata in the Tampa Bay area for a while, and the band had to sign a contract when they first got signed to Roadrunner stating that they would never, ever bring out the mannequin again for live appearances.
