Steve Asheim, best known as the powerhouse drummer and songwriter behind death metal legends DEICIDE, is taking a surprising detour from blast beats to piano pedals. He will release “Volume One”, a solo collection of classical piano pieces, on April 20, 2026 through his own label, SteevoRecords.

The album will feature both original compositions and reinterpretations of classical masters, including Franz Liszt, Frédéric Chopin, and Sergei Rachmaninoff. Fans can pre-order the release today alongside the stream of the first two singles – “Unstern I: Sinistre, Disastro” and “Unstern II: Darkstar”.

He mentioned about this album:

I’d just like to point out that I’m still in DEICIDE. Everything is fine. We’re all looking forward to our tours this year and the future. This is just a hobby project release.
