Deicide's latest album, that being In The Minds Of Evil in 2013, was a damn good record and probably one of my favorites from the group thus far. Since it's been three years between that record and now, it looks like we're going to have to wait a little bit longer for its follow-up, according to drummer Steve Asheim in a recent interview with Metal Wani.
"We've got about eight or nine songs, and we're gonna do another three or four; we'll pull together when we get back from this tour. And if we can pull that music together, the ten or twelve songs, whatever it might be, and maybe get into the studio and start doing the drums and the music by the end of the year or something, we can have something out by next year. I doubt we'll have anything out by this year."
Asheim says the new record should be on par with its predecessor as well, mainly due to the band being a little bit pickier with its material.
"It seems like we're gonna be taking the same approach. I mean, we're not gonna fix what isn't broken, as far as what we do. You know, we've been writing heavy riffs. We're just gonna make 'em heavier as work [on] them together. It was weird. When we did the last record, I was, like, 'Eh, I'm really not that psyched about these songs,' and the album turned out being great. And the way the new material is, it's funny, I'm kind of, like, 'Eh, it could be better.' So we're just gonna be hashing some more stuff out and really make it intense, because we know we did a pretty good one and we're gonna have to beat it. But we're gonna work on it hard, make sure it's good."
So 2017 is already looking pretty good, right?
