Guitarist Ralph Santolla - "I Am Not, And Never Was, Rejoining DEICIDE"
October 30, 2007, 17 years ago
Guitarist Ralph Santolla has issued the following statement:
“I am not, and never was, rejoining DEICIDE. I have no idea why anyone would put out the (Earache) statement. I agreed to play on the new CD for two reasons: first, I owe one more album on the contract I signed, and I want to be absolutely free from Earache as soon as possible. Secondly, Steve Asheim (Deicide drummer) is my good friend and a great musician, I love his music. I gave my best in the studio because his music deserves it, and because that is the way I work. When things fell apart with Deicide I was fortunate enough to land in OBITUARY. I am totally happy being in this band in every way, and the only regret I have is that this good fortune came at the expense of Big Al (West; ex-Obituary guitarist) having some pretty serious problems.”
