Deicide has announced the departure of guitarist Chris Cannella, who played with the band between 2019 and present day. Replacing Canella is Taylor Nordberg, whose name you might know from The Absence and Inhuman Condition.
"We are pleased to announce and welcome Taylor Nordberg to the Deicide family!" said the band in a statement. "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 also issued his own statement, saying the split was amicable.
"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."
