Deicide Hellsinki Metal Festival 2024

Kevin Quirion part ways with Deicide

Author Benedetta Baldin - 30.5.2025

Kevin Quirion of the Florida death metal band Deicide announced his departure from the band last month after 15 years in a social media post earlier this month on May 18. Due to schedule issues, Deicide canceled their participation in the Exodus tour last month, one month before it began. Fans were a little confused when the band later took the comment off. One can only speculate, though, that the two may be related in light of this most recent discovery. Additionally, Deicide recently revealed that they will be touring Latin America with Behemoth in the fall. Quirion was featured on the Deicide albums “In the Minds of Evil” (2013), “Overtures of Blasphemy” (2018), and “Banished by Sin” (2024).

So after 15 years I decided to leave the band last month. 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. Got to go now. Look for a job and Roblox with my son……
