Florida death metal giants Deicide played their first show with new guitarist Jadran “Conan” Gonzalez (Exmortus) on Friday (19) at Tork N’ Roll in Curitiba, Brazil, opening their Latin American tour with Behemoth. Gonzalez joined Deicide earlier this week, stepping in as the replacement for longtime guitarist Kevin Quirion, who left the group this past spring.
Gonzalez shared the following when his addition was first announced:
“I’m thrilled and honored to jam amongst such legends as Glen and Steve and to hang with the rest of the team. I thank them for having me on board. I’m looking forward to unleashing hell in Latin America on this tour.”
Back in April 2025, Quirion explained his reason for leaving the band via social media:
“So after 15 years I decided to leave the band. Mainly I’m just done with touring and would like to spend the extra time with my family. I will still be writing songs and have already sent some to Derek Roddy and Sean Baxter to release under the COUNCIL OF THE FALLEN name. There will be no labels or shows, just putting out EPs whenever we feel like it. It was nice meeting a bunch of fans, bands, promoters etc and I wish everyone the best.”
