Why he might be annoying:

    Their music is extremely Satanic and anti-Christian in nature.
    Glen Benton is a Satanist.
    Benton has admitted to torturing and mutilating small animals.
    Benton once branded an inverted cross into his forehead (a common symbol of Satanism). Benton has made outrageous statements in the press, such as 'I'm going to burst with hate and kill someone.'
    He once said he would commit suicide once he reached the age of 33. He didn't, and later said 'It's all just ridiculous.'
    Some of their songs include 'Mephistopheles,' 'Kill the Christian,' and 'When Satan Rules His World.'
    They draw extreme criticism from Christian activist groups in America and animal rights activists.
    Eric and Brian Hoffman left the band on bad terms (2004). They were replaced by Jack Owen and Ralph Santolla.
    Glen is known for being rude offstage.
    Glen named his son 'Daemon.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    Glen Benton isn't afraid to speak his mind.
    Their first album is considered a landmark in the history of death metal.
    They helped to shape the Florida death metal scene.
    All of the band members are quite talented with their instruments.
    He would bicker with a Christian radio talk show host.
