My Take
Glen Benton represents a kind of artistic stubbornness I genuinely respect. As the vocalist, bassist, and lyricist of Deicide, and one of the last original members, he has spent decades committed to an extreme, uncompromising vision of death metal. His work with Vital Remains only underscores that single-mindedness. I am not interested in whether his music pleases everyone; what compels me is the refusal to soften with passing trends. To me, Benton is a study in conviction, an artist who decided early what he wanted to sound like and then defended that identity across a long career. That kind of consistency is rare anywhere.
