Damn, they needed him, not to many guys out there that are as talented as Ralph.

He was great, so sad news... Hope they find someone good as Ralph, though I think it's not easy.

Oh my god THIS SUCK!

Ralph Santolla was probably the best thing that ever happened to Deicide... The Stench Of Redemption was so good due to Ralph and Jack

Bad news, guitarists work on "The Stench Of Redemption" contributed largely to the success of this album.

Damn, I hope whoever the new guitarist is works as well with Jack as he did. They put some crazy shit together on the last album.

Honestly, I predicted that he wasnt going to stay in the band that long as the mans a Roman Catholic.

Sure hes a good guitarist, but really the place can be filled. Him and Jack only brought new ideas and style to Deicide and the new album, doesnt make him irriplacable. Get over it.

I agree with you, there are more talented guitarists out there, and a Catholic in a band with Glen Benton doesn't work. Anyways, he was good.. but not irriplacable.

I'm looking forward to the next guitarist, let's see what he can bring.

We could see this coming. It just doesn't work. Benton with his satanic idea's, and share those with a Catholic? No way.

it's not like the guy [Glan] is an actual satanist though.. I am sure Ralph's departure has nothing to do with the theme of the music

Ralph's time with Deicide was good while it lasted. I really hope that the new guitarist will be just as good as Ralph, if not better.

This is definately a shame as 'The Stench of Redemption' was an amazing album. But, they've been through this before and managed to release great albums again..

So, I have no fear as to Deicide's future albums, as long as they employ another skilled guitarist.
