Shortly after, the guitar roles were then filled by ex-[[Cannibal Corpse]] guitarist [[Jack Owen]], and [[Vital Remains]] guitarist [[Dave Suzuki]]. Following the tour, Suzuki was replaced by [[Ralph Santolla]], formerly of [[Death (band)|Death]], [[Iced Earth]] and [[Sebastian Bach]]. Santolla stated he is a Catholic and this has received a small amount of shock and ridicule from some metal fans. In spite of this, Deicide's eighth studio album ''[[The Stench of Redemption]]'' album received rave reviews, and is one of their biggest sellers yet.
On May 24, 2007, it was announced [[Ralph Santolla]] had left Deicide. Subsequently, he joined Florida's [[Obituary (band)|Obituary]] and appears on their album ''[[Xecutioner's Return]]'' as well as the tour. Then on July 20 2007 guitarist [[Jack Owen]] (ex-[[Cannibal Corpse]]) announced that Deicide is "on hiatus" and he has joined Ohio based death/thrash combo [[Estuary (band)|Estuary]] for touring purposes. The band did a Balkan tour, dubbed "Balkans AssassiNation Tour", in October 2007 alongside [[Krisiun]], [[Incantation (band)|Incantation]] and [[Inactive Messiah]].
