DEICIDE's STEVE ASHEIM: 'I Think This New Album Is A Good Mix Of Old And New'

April 8, 2008

MetalSucks's Axl Rosenburg recently conducted an interview with DEICIDE founder and drumming legend, Steve Asheim. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow:

On DEICIDE's new album, "Till Death Do Us Part":

"I think this new album is a good mix of old and new styles of DEICIDE. It reminds me of a cross between 'Stench' ['Of Redemption'] because of the more expansive writing style of songwriting, and 'Legion' because of the mood and vibe of the album. A lot of people thought that 'Stench' was too melodic and I think 'Till Death Do Us Part' has definitely tweaked that, [it's] kind of anti-melodic."

On "Fuck Your God" being used to torture Iraqi prisoners:

"I don't mind the song being used for that stuff, it's kind of funny, actually. Hell, they should fly us in and pay us to play live interrogations! HA! Seriously though, I just don't think play loud music for people, especially warriors, is torture. Last I checked, people paid a lot of money to have loud music blasted at them hell, it's how I make a living!"

On some of his favorite tour stories:

"It's kind of a toss up between the time I almost went to prison in Austria for suspicion of being connected to a bank robbery, or the time I was almost eaten alive by a pack of wolves in the Arizona desert while trying to take a dump next to a cactus. And those are just the first couple off the top of my head."
