"It is with great pleasure to announce that I will be performing with DEICIDE once again after a 14-month absence and that my legal issues that have prevented myself from performing have been resolved.
"Without going into great detail about my personal life, because I am a person who prefers his privacy, I wish to extend my apologies to the promoters and to my business associates who may have been inconvenienced.
"I look forward to rejoining Steve [Asheim; drums], Jack [Owen, guitar] and Ralph [Santolla, guitar] on stage, and I would like to announce that we are presently booking exclusive dates or the United States and Europe for 2008 in support of 'Till Death Do Us Part'. I will be performing exclusive dates in major markets and festival dates only as to accommodate my parental responsibilities.
"The U.S. tour package will consist of ADRIFT from Tampa, Florida and MALEVOLENT CREATION in support of DEICIDE, with MALEVOLENT supporting us on the Europe run as well. I would like to extend a thank you to my family, friends, and fans, and to everyone involved on the front lines and behind the scenes that supported me through this process."
DEICIDE's latest album, "Till Death Do Us Part", sold 2,900 copies in the United States in its first week of release, according to Nielsen SoundScan. It is the follow-up to "The Stench of Redemption", which registered a first-week tally of 4,000 back in 2006.
