Ralph Gone?

[Stormwatch]

Ralph says in Terrorizer magazine he never fell out with Deicide, it was something to do with the record label (Earache I believe). He didn't walk out, nor was he kicked out by the band.

So fuck knows what that means.

Simple answer...the dirty dirty music industry.

Some things that come to mind...

1.Deicide is not touring, who wants to be in a band and not tour thats no fun.

2.It could also be something like the label being worried with Ralph the christian ruining Deicides image.

3. Money issues (no money no food no food no life)

Did the Hoffmans thanked Ralph on Scars of the Crucifix?

Earache released a statement today claiming that Ralph had rejoined the band and even went to the extent of providing pictures.

Ralph almost immediately released a press statement to Blabbermouth rebutting the Earache press releasing saying that he is doing the guitar work for the album but has not rejoined the band. He is doing it as he loves Deicide's music and because he wants to be 100% free from Earache. Apparently he signed a 2 album contract with them.

Reading between the lines there certainly seems to be a lot of animosity between Ralph and Earache.

Ralph will be a massive win on the new record! Great news!

Cool news, it will give Deicide more time to find a decent replacement worthy of the mans skills.

Excellent news! I don't know if it's obvious Ralph hates Earache - looks to me like he maybe has no time for Benton. He likes Steve, no mention of Benton. And many tour dates were cancelled on the last tour because of Benton's crap, so maybe Ralph wants nothing to do with him.

Just my thoughts.
