Deicide - Interview & The Zach Moonshine Show - Featured At Blabbermouth ! Check it out here at this link: https://www.blabbermouth.net/news/new-deicide-guitarist-explains-how-he-landed-the-gig-says-there-is-killer-new-material-in-the-works/

Guitarist   Taylor Nordberg   ( THE ABSENCE ,   INHUMAN CONDITION ), who recently joined Florida death metal veterans   DEICIDE , spoke about how he landed the gig in a new interview with   "The Zach Moonshine Show" . He said (as transcribed by   BLABBERMOUTH.NET ): "In 2019, my band   THE ABSENCE   toured with   DEICIDE   in the U.S. And we got to know the guys and got along really well. And I actually found out that   Glen   [ Benton ,   DEICIDE   frontman] lives, like, two streets over from   Jeramie   [ Kling ,   THE ABSENCE   drummer] and I, where we live. So   Jeramie   and   Glen   became good buddies and they ride bikes all the times. It's a funny little thing, thinking about that. But long story short, [previous   DEICIDE   guitarist]   Chris   [ Cannella ], I believe he's the head of A&R at   Dean Guitars   so he's focusing on that for right now. I heard that they needed a guitar player, so I learned a couple of songs, made a couple of videos, and   Glen   saw 'em and liked what he saw. So we had a couple of practices, and bing bang boom, here we are."

Asked if he has worked on any new material with   DEICIDE   or if he has just been focusing on getting the old songs down,   Taylor   said: "Well, when they first asked me to start learning songs, they said, 'Start learning [the]   'Legion'   [album], because this year is the 30th anniversary of   'Legion' . So later on in the year, we're gonna be playing it start to finish live. So that's been the main focus over the last couple of weeks — just hammering down those   'Legion'   songs, which that's been a blast to just delve into those tunes and that songwriting… Right now, we're focusing on the   'Legion'   stuff and then, obviously, me just trying to learn a full set. Otherwise, there is new songs that we've been working on. Like I said, we're kind of just focusing on the   'Legion'   stuff for right now, but there's definitely a ton of killer new material on the way. I don't know what the time frame is — when we'll record or anything like that — but there is new music, and it's killer so far."

Cannella   amicably left   DEICIDE   last month after a three-year run.

When   Benton   first announced   Nordberg 's addition to   DEICIDE , he said in a statement: "We are pleased to announce and welcome   Taylor Nordberg   to the   DEICIDE   family! An amazing and accomplished guitarist who takes our sound to the next level and brings a profound level of professionalism that completes and compliments the   DEICIDE   machine!"

Cannella   said in a separate statement: "Yes, it is true. I am no longer in   DEICIDE . There is no drama and we all kept it quiet as to not lead into drama or speculation.

"I have all the love and respect for   Glen ,   Steve   and   Kevin . I had so many great times over the last three years I cherish for a lifetime, especially the friendship.

"Cheers to all and thanks for all the love and support. I'm excited for what's to come."

Cannella   joined   DEICIDE   in 2019 following the departure of guitarist   Mark English .

English   became a member of   DEICIDE   in 2016 after the exit of longtime guitarist   Jack Owen .

DEICIDE 's latest album,   "Overtures Of Blasphemy" , was released in September 2018 via   Century Media .
