Santolla stated the late Philip Parris Lynott of Thin Lizzy as a major influence. Born on December 8, 1966, Santolla was a practicing Roman Catholic, which has caused controversy with Deicide fans, many of whom are against Christianity and are aware of frontman Glen Benton's open Satanism. Many were surprised that Benton even let Santolla join the band, due to his frequent criticism of the religion. However, Santolla stated that he was 'not going to pretend to be some dark and evil person just so people think I'm metal,' and also stated that he respected Benton, despite differences in their religion and beliefs, for not being afraid to be true to himself. In a recent interview on Australian radio, Benton stated that he had no problems working with Santolla because of his religion, saying, 'Ralph's what I like to call a part-timer... I mean, his favourite song on the new album is 'Death to Jesus'.
