DEICIDE Announces New Touring Guitarist

September 10, 2008

Florida-based death metallers DEICIDE have tapped Kevin Quirion from ORDER OF ENNEAD as their new touring guitarist. Quiron will make his live debut with DEICIDE on Saturday, September 13 in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.

Commented Quirion: "DEICIDE needed a guitarist and I happened to be standing right there. I'll be doing the Ft. Lauderdale show September 13th, four dates in Italy (September 18-21) and whatever else comes up. This will tide me over until ORDER OF ENNEAD starts their touring cycle, which we hope to be very significant. Steve Asheim [DEICIDE drummer] plays in both bands and Jack Owen will be playing guitar with ORDER OF ENNEAD so there will be no conflict of scheduling."

He added: "I've been listening to DEICIDE since 1990 so it's a real pleasure jamming with them. I've learned 19 songs over the last couple weeks and rehearsing with the guys three times a week and everything is sounding tight and massive."

According to the Polish booking agency Massive Music, DEICIDE's previously announced European tour with VADER, which was scheduled to take place in October, has been pushed back to January 2009. The trek will last three weeks and will feature DEICIDE in the headlining slot and VADER as direct support. One more act will be added to the tour.

On August 25 in Europe and September 2 in the U.S., Earache Records reissued "Scars Of The Crucifix", the classic 2004 album from DEICIDE, as part of the Earache Classic Series. "Scars Of The Crucifix" was reissued with a bonus DVD, featuring a never-before-seen live show filmed in Nottingham, UK in 2003. "Scars Of The Crucifix" was the last DEICIDE album with guitarists Brian and Eric Hoffman, and this exclusive DVD will be the first and only official DVD release to feature the brothers!

DEICIDE's latest album, "Till Death Do Us Part", sold 2,900 copies in the United States in its first week of release, according to Nielsen SoundScan. It is the follow-up to "The Stench of Redemption", which registered a first-week tally of 4,000 back in 2006.
