Deicide - Ralph Santolla Playing Guitar On Upcoming Album


Official Earache Records press release:

Veteran guitarist, Ralph Santolla has rejoined Deicide and is currently hard at work recording his guitar parts for Deicide's 2008 release, "Till Death Do Us Part" at Morrisound Studios in Florida.

Deicide had previously parted ways with Ralph Santolla back in May of this year. Over the course of the following months, he would spend the summer touring with Obituary and pushing his talent as far as it could go. When he was asked to rejoin Deicide in time for the recording of "Till Death Do Us Part", Santolla came back to the fold as a man possessed and he had come back, literally better than ever before.

While there will inevitably be naysayers who doubt the decision, Deicide drummer, Steve Asheim insists that Ralph Santolla's return will only strengthen the maniacal musical landscape that Deicide is known for. "Ralph is really reaching towards the very depths of his abilities to come up with something completely fresh and challenging."

Even those outside of the band have given nothing but positive feedback on Ralph Santolla's progress during the recording sessions. "Jim Morris came and told me that Ralph has been coming up with some of the greatest metal riffs and licks that he's ever heard;" says Asheim. "Ralph's really pushing his abilities to the limit, coming up with things that he's never been able to do before."

Shit one of the best Death Metal guitarist out there these days, I saw the guy face to face at a Obituary concert...sadly I don't consider myself a fan of Deicide. That also means Allen West might be out of jail soon and rejoin Obituary?

I saw him with Obituary as well last month, and I got a great picture of him playing the guitar
He looks very beachy with the shorts and sandals, is it still summerish in Florida?

Jack Owen and Ralph Santolla are the best guitarists in death metal today. and this is a big chance for Glenn benton to work with them instead of Haffman brothers. ...

Why? Ralph was the best thing to happen to Deicide.

Nope, this is incorrect. He'll be contributing to the next album, but he hasn't rejoined.

Well, that's a relief...i mean, i've always liked Obituary better, so i'm glad he's staying AND working with Deicide...Given that, Obiruary's profile here must be updated...

I don't have a problem with Ralph Santolla rejoining Deicide as much as I have a problem with the name of the new album. IMO for what it counts it just doesn't sound like a promising release, of course "Stench of Redemption" is a pretty good name but I guess they lacked in terms of their sound. I guess i'm not a big Deicide fan, gonna go listen to some Vital Remains.

I was fearing the end of this band, however, I can't see their next release being as good as "Stench..", since Deicide have never been amongst the most consistent bands ever.

At least Ralph is back
