**DEICIDE **are returning to Australia for the first time since 2006!

One of the biggest and most influential bands in death metal history will bring their uncompromising brand of extreme metal to Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne and Sydney in January and February 2027.

Formed in Tampa, Florida in 1987 by **Glen Benton** and **Steve Asheim,** DEICIDE exploded onto the international metal scene with their landmark 1990 debut and the genre-defining Legion in 1992.

Credited as the second-best-selling death metal band of the SoundScan era, DEICIDE have released twelve studio albums across a career spanning more than three decades. Their brutal, uncompromising sound has cemented their status as one of the most important and enduring forces in extreme metal.

***After more than 20 years, DEICIDE are finally coming back Down Under.***
