It is with immense sadness and pain in our hearts that we have to inform you that our singer and brother has left us forever. It is extremely difficult to find words when one of us is missing. He was a part of us all, a voice that gave strength and energy to our words. Above all, however, we lost a friend with whom we stood back to back. Thank you for everything you put into our music and for all the moments we spent together. Your voice stays here with us in every riff, every strum on the bass guitar, the beat of the drums and the harsh tone of the guitars. Rest in peace. We will never forget” it is written in a post on Facebook.
