Florida death metal veterans DEICIDE have recruited Jadran "Conan" Gonzalez (EXMORTUS) to replace longtime guitarist Kevin Quirion. Conan will make his live debut with DEICIDE on the band's upcoming tour with BEHEMOTH in Latin America, which kicks off on September 19 in Curitiba, Brazil.
Conan comments: "I'm thrilled and honored to jam amongst such legends as Glen [Benton, bass/vocals] and Steve [Asheim, drums] and to hang with the rest of the team. I thank them for having me on board. I'm looking forward to unleashing hell in Latin America on this tour."
Quirion exited DEICIDE in April 2025, explaining in a social media post: "So after 15 years I decided to leave the band. Mainly I'm just done with touring and would like to spend the extra time with my family. I will still be writing songs and have already sent some to Derek Roddy and Sean Baxter to release under the COUNCIL OF THE FALLEN name. There will be no labels or shows, just putting out EPs whenever we feel like it.
"It was nice meeting a bunch of fans, bands, promoters etc and I wish everyone the best."
Quirion appeared on the last three DEICIDE albums: "In The Minds Of Evil" (2013),"Overtures Of Blasphemy" (2017) and "Banished By Sin" (2024).
Last October, DEICIDE canceled the last three shows of its North American tour with KRISIUN, INFERI and CLOAK in order to return home "to protect" their "families and properties" as Floridians prepped for the second storm to hit the Gulf Coast in a little over two weeks.
DEICIDE's latest album, "Banished By Sin", was made available in April 2024 via Reigning Phoenix Music.
