Death metal legends Deicide have signed a new record deal with Century Media Records, it has been revealed. The band are currently working on a new album and are planning to have it released by the summer.

In other news, the band has reunited with respected death metal guitarists Jack Owen (former Cannibal Corpse) and Ralph Santolla (Obituary, Death, former Iced Earth.)

Regarding the signing to Century Media, frontman Glen Benton states: "I want to say it is an honor to be an official CM artist. I look forward to working with the fine folks at CM and providing them with our style of metal. I can ensure you that what surfaces will definitely be nothing less than a total bash-your-face-in-from-start-to-finish, bastard. HAIL SATAN!!!!"

Drummer Steve Asheim further comments: "I'm happy to be a part of the CM family and look forward to working with them. The new Deicide material in the works should be a good way to kick off the new deal. It's a totally sick new record with a totally sick new label, but the same ol' sick Deicide. See you all in 2009 and hold onto your balls!"

Owen adds: "It is an honor and a pleasure to sign with one of the most established metal labels on the planet. Century Media's track record speaks for itself, and we can't wait to unleash this beast of a new Deicide album through the mighty CM! Many thanks to Kevin Astl and Steve Joh for their long hours bringing this deal to full fruition!"

Awesome. I know their latest disc only came out about 8 months ago, but I still can't wait for the next.

TOG- You should change your name to "That One Cat"
With your avatar it would be fitting, yes?

Deicide signing to CM?...this will be an interesting move. Earache did not suit them very well.

You would think that they could at least update the band photo to represent the actual members currently.

I guess Earache wasn't cutting it for Deicide. Hope Deicide goes back to more of they're older style. I think it would sound good, especially with Jack Owen!!!

At least they didn't stay with Roadrunner. I highly dislike that label...

Samhain -- I just hope they don't do a real sloppy job rushing to get this one out. They did that with "In Torment In Hell" and look how it turned out. The entire album was done in 3 days, start to finish.

Awesome! Its always been a goal of mine as a musician: Get signed to Century Media.

And had Obama not been on the ballot, I'd have written in Glen Benton.
