DEICIDE drummer Steve Asheim spoke to MetalSucks.com recently about a number of topics including the band's forthcoming album, Till Death Do Us Part. Here are a few excerpts from the chat:

Steve Asheim on 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."

Steve Asheim 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 payed a lot of money to have loud music blasted at them - hell, it’s how I make a living!"

Steve Asheim 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."
