DEICIDE founder and drumming legend, Steve Asheim...well, it's best to
let Axl tell you himself:
"So when I was recently presented with the opportunity to interview
founding drummer and primary songwriter Steve Asheim, I naturally
jumped at the chance - so long as I could the interview by e-mail.
Truth be told, I feared that Asheim might be too evil, even for me."
What Axl got was an interview that was as thought-provoking as it was
evil:
Steve Asheim on TILL DEATH DO US PART:
"I think this new album is a good mix of old and new styles of
DEICIDE. It reminds me of a cross between STENCH
because of the more expansive writing style of songwriting, and LEGION
because of the mood and vibe of the album. A lot of people thought
that STENCH was too melodic and I think TILL DEATH DO US PART has
definitely tweaked that, [it¹s] kind of anti-melodic."
Steve Asheim on "Fuck Your God" being used to torture Iraqi
prisoners:
"I don¹t mind the song being used for that stuff, it¹s kind of
funny, actually. Hell, they should fly us in and pay us to play live
interrogations! HA!
Seriously though, I just don¹t think play loud music for people,
especially warriors, is torture. Last I checked, people payed a lot of
money to have loud music blasted at them - hell, it¹s how I make a
living!"
Steve Asheim on some of his favorite tour stories:
"It¹s kind of a toss up between the time I almost went to prison in
Austria for suspicion of being connected to a bank robbery, or the
time I was almost eaten alive by a pack of wolves in the Arizona
desert while trying to take a dump next to a cactus. And those are
just the first couple off the top of my head."
