When true metal was abandoned and derisively dismissed as a juvenile
aural impulse incapable of being a mature form of music by many,
Deceased paid no heed and created one of the most complex and cerebral metal opuses ever recorded to confound critics. And now, when the term“metal” is thrown around in a loose fashion to describe everything and anything, Deceased is here to remind people that heavy metal is not a product that is manufactured, packaged, and placed on a shelf to be sold to the highest bidder—but a way of life which requires sacrifice, dedication, and a commitment to heavy metal as a craft to be passed on and preserved by diehards.
KING:"Fearless Undead Machines is out of print now, so we have to move on to that one next. 1997 is when that came out, so in two years it will be the ten-year anniversary, maybe we can remaster, re-release it and update it some. It is still on vinyl and floating around here and there, but as far as CDs, there are none. Relapse has none. I don’t even have a copy—I gave mine to somebody."
"Still to this
day my favorite Deceased album—Supernatural Addiction. It came out and people said, “Now they’re trying to do the In Flames thing, the Paradise Lost thing.” First off, we never liked Paradise Lost or any of that stuff. The Swedish death metal movement sucks—we can’t stand it. People were saying, “This sounds like In Flames.” We hate In Flames; we hate all that stuff. It is just not us. We don’t care for it—we hate it. We’re from the old school where you call posers, posers, and you say you hate something if you hate it. You don’t have to beat around the bush and be all PC and say, “Ohhh….Well…it’s just not for us.”"
"Matt hated me. He always looked at me as trouble for the label.
He came to me and said, “We want to put a sticker on the new CD.” I
said, “Okay,” and he told me to write something up and send it to him. I
said, “Deceased is back, brand new album, horror metal, same logo, same attitude and no Pantera riffs.”
"I’ve had run ins with Morbid Angel and other bands. So when it came to our thanks list, it was a big fuck off to Morbid Angel for
being fucking rock star jackasses, and I put that in there. I came to
look at the layout for the CD after I had turned in everything we were
doing for it, and my stuff was erased from our fuck off list—it was
gone. And I was like: “That is Deceased—that is how we fucking feel.”
"I’ve always hated Dying Fetus’ music, nothing against them, I’m friends with everyone in the band, but I’ll be the first one to go up to them and tell them: “I can’t stand what you play.” And we’ll all laugh
and they’ll say, “Oh King! You’re just King!” But I was talking with
Matt, and said, “This Dying Fetus is terrible! Look at Vinnie up there!”
Matt looks at me and said, “This one of the worst bands ever. I can’t stand them—this is shit.” Not two or three months later—he signs them. He turns around and fucking signs them. Whenever I think of Relapse that is the first thing that pops into my mind and what a bullshitter he is. "
"I love my No Doubt. Plenty of my friends are like: “That shit sucks! Gwen sucks!” That’s fine too."
"we have the classic “cult” following. The people who are into Deceased are the die-hards that never turned their back on metal and didn’t throw away their records and then rediscover them ten years later. Those are the people we want, those are the people who are in it for life and that is where we are."
"Rob Halford says,“Metal is dead,” and now he says, “I’m a Metal God.” So….I’m supposed to accept this guy who said, “Fuck metal,” and did techno with Two back after this shit. No. I ain’t doing it. See ya! I don’t want you. That new Judas Priest sucked—worst album of the year. I couldn’t stand it.“LOCHNESS!” [King does his best Halford impersonation] My buddy Jason (Tedder) from October 31 bought it, we listened to it, and we winged it out the window and down the road. Whatever, to each his own. Some people
are like: “Halford is legendary.” I love old Priest too and always will,
but I’m not going to support what they do anymore."
