DEICIDE Frontman Slams 'Children' Who Post 'Ignorant Bulls**t' On BLABBERMOUTH.NET

Vocalist/bassist Glen Benton of the veteran Florida-based death metal band DEICIDE has posted the following message on the band's MySpace page:

"Response to Blabbercrap.net: Let me clear up a few things about past cancellations and the recent Central American fiasco.

"Firstly, to all you stupid fucks on BlabberCrapInYourMouth.net who talk your crap about my past cancellations of shows, I only cancel shows when the safety of the band has come into question or if there is a personal family issue for anyone in the band or crew that might arise (and they do),and lastly, the unprofessional and dirty dealings of adolescent shit promoters who like to play games with our money. Yes, money!!!!! Did you stupid fucks that post your ridiculous bullshit on BlabberCrap.net think we do this for free? Fuck no!!!! There is this bad habit my kids have, it's called eating and living under a roof… and when you fuck with my money, I take it personally and I walk. I have that option… I'm my own boss… I have better things to do than get stuck at airports and stranded in foreign countries where I can't communicate in order to do my job when people drop the ball. So when we make an agreement with someone for a performance, I expect them to live up to their part of the agreement, if not, I do what I have to. Most intelligent people would agree that not even I work for free. Unlike you children who post your ignorant bullshit on BlabberCrap.net while living in your parents' basement with mommy washing and folding your underwear and cooking your meals and wiping your asses… I am an adult with family and big-people responsibilities…and have people who count on myself to make decisions in the best interest and safety of myself and the other members of DEICIDE. I am never happy having to walk off a tour or not do a scheduled show — this is not something I plan or conspire to do — and you, the fan, are not the only ones disappointed, we are as well. It is the nature of the beast in this business.

"I want all to know, and remember this, especially all you jack-offs that like to talk shit but have never been out of your own frontyard nevertheless out of this country, I don't do this for you… I do it for me… and when it comes to me, you don't matter, so when you book DEICIDE, you wannabe big-time promoters… remember this, breach my contract in anyway and you to will find yourself with your dick in your hands and the fans kicking your ass."

DEICIDE and VITAL REMAINS will team up for a package tour in early 2009. The two bands will bring their infamous live performances to major markets across the United States in February. Support on all dates will come from ORDER OF ENNEAD — the Florida extreme metal band featuring Steve Asheim (drums; DEICIDE),Scott Patrick (bass; RESURRECTION),Kevin Quirion (guitar, vocals; COUNCIL OF THE FALLEN) and John Li (guitar) — and ADRIFT, the Tampa-based heavy rock band featuring Jack Owen of DEICIDE/CANNIBAL CORPSE fame.

DEICIDE recently tapped Kevin Quirion from ORDER OF ENNEAD as its new touring guitarist. Quiron made his live debut with DEICIDE on September 13 in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Fan-filmed footage of that performance can be viewed below.

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.
