Deicide's first self-titled full-length album contains all of their demo tracks plus the two songs "Deicide" and "Mephistopheles". While containing mostly satanic or blasphemous lyrical themes, "Lunatic of God's Creation" and "Carnage in the Temple of the Damned" concern Charles Manson and Jim Jones, respectively.

The album was a milestone in the death metal genre, due to its then-unmatched brutality and the hair-raising vocal stylings of vocalist/bassist Glen Benton. His deep, guttural growl was enhanced and manipulated with studio tricks to make the vocals sound truly possessed and tortured. The album was recorded at Morrisound Studios in Tampa, Florida, where Deicide would record most of their subsequent works.
