DEICIDE Guitarist SANTOLLA Postpones Solo Concerts In Ecuador

September 26, 2006

DEICIDE guitarist Ralph Santolla (ex-ICED EARTH, DEATH) has issued the following update:

"I'm gonna have to push back my guitar concerts in Quito [Ecuador] [which were originally scheduled to take place late November] until next year. I need some very important information from the promoter that I haven't been able to get, and I can't wait any longer. I have to book time in the studio in England to start my new instrumental album, and I've run out of time. I'll be going to the U.K. immediately after the DEICIDE U.S./Canada tour. The Ecuadoran promoter, Khristain, is a great guy, and I have no problem working with him next year. He's had a major tragedy in his personal life, and has been focusing on that, which is perfectly understandable. I apologize to the 4 or 5 people that were looking forward to this, and I'll see you next year!"

Santolla recently announced plans to record a new instrumental album, tentatively titled "Requiem for Hope". "I'll start recording soon, with some very well-known musicians," he previously said. "It will be a LOT different than 'Shaolin Monks in the Temple of Metal', and will include an orchestral version of 'Aida's Song'."

DEICIDE's brand new brutal offering, "The Stench of Redemption", was released last month via Earache Records. The follow-up to 2004's "Scars of the Crucifix" was recorded at Morrisound in Tampa, Florida and marks the first recording with the new DEICIDE lineup following the departure of the Hoffman brothers. Joining frontman Glen Benton and drummer Steve Asheim in the new formation are guitarists Ralph Santolla (ex-DEATH, ICED EARTH) and Jack Owen (ex-CANNIBAL CORPSE).
