Ralph Santolla: ‘I Am Not, And Never Was, Rejoining Deicide’

Guitarist Ralph Santolla has issued the following statement:

“I am not, and never was, rejoining DEICIDE. I have no idea why anyone would put out the statement I just read on Blabbermouth. I agreed to play on the new CD for two reasons: first, I owe one more album on the contract I signed, and I want to be absolutely free from Earache as soon as possible. Secondly, Steve Asheim is my good friend and a great musician, I love his music. I gave my best in the studio because his music deserves it, and because that is the way I work.

When things fell apart with DEICIDE I was fortunate enough to land in OBITUARY. I am totally happy being in this band in every way, and the only regret I have is that this good fortune came at the expense of Big Al (ex-OBITUARY guitarist) having some pretty serious problems.”
