I was really hoping it wouldn't end this way, RIP

holy fuck he wasn't insane then....this shits fucked up

fuck

RIP

RICHEY

EDWARDS

Such a shame they couldn't get him help.

Very sad. RIP

This sucks

R.I.P

Fucking hell this is creepy and awful.

RIP man

sad as fuck, rest in peace man

That's some really sad shit. I wonder why his family never checked him in anywhere. He was clearly unstable as could fucking be when he wrote that letter. Obviously I don't know what the situation was but I find it odd that was given access to his car at such a bad time. Whatever the case was, this sucks.

RIP man. Always bad to hear about someone passing, but it's even worse when it happens in these weird, fucked up ways.

Dude should've gotten professional help. RIP to a great musician, metal will miss him

Gawddamn R.I.P

I don't even like After the Burial but this totally bums me out. So sad that he didn't get the treatment he needed.

Just read that stuff he posted, this is insane and pretty unnerving.

I was really hoping it wouldn't end this way, RIP

Same here.

R.I.P.

Fuck. R.I.P.

Holy fuck no. Rip. I know it's too early but it could've been suicide I guess? In any case this is still so fucking sad

An absolute tragedy. Such a shame to see someone so talented go so young, especially without getting the help he required. RIP.

What a horrible ending to this... RIP.

This fucked with my head hard today. RIP

holy shit.

that's terrible. I hope the best for his family and friends.

Not totally surprising, but sheesh... Rip...

dude was an amazing player and seemed like a great guy. very sad, RIP

will jam rareform tomorrow in his honor

rest in peace

It seemed he knew this conspiracy thing would be the end of him.


R.I.P.

I was camping near where he was found dead around the time of it apparently

He was such a talented guy, its a huge shame this is how it ended RIP

holy fuck he wasn't insane then

No, I think he was, which was why he ran off by himself and then abandoned his car to wander off to whoknowswhere. Ugh, the whole thing sucks.

Remember kids: If you know someone who seems to be going through something, don't hesitate to ask if they're OK. This has been a PSA by zaru.

Very sad news, the guy needed better care but such is life.

R.I.P.

This whole situation was very sad, and this is a tragic way to see it end. R.I.P.

Damn.... R.I.P.

Awful news :/

Really wish it didn't end like this.

R.I.P.

On Monday we lost Griffin from Knights Of The Abyss, now we lost Justin from After The Burial, this is a really shitty week :/

Man I was hoping these events would have ended on a brighter note, such a fucking shame he didn't get the help he needed.
RIP

RIP

Horrible, horrible, horrible. My friends and I used to listen to their first album religiously. RIP

shits tragic, rip

The vocalist for the band Apparitions and ex member of knights of the abyss passed away this week too.

Rip to both

R.I.P. man this is awful

"The vocalist for the band Apparitions and ex member of knights of the abyss passed away this week too.

Rip to both"

Wow, I had no idea. That's terrible.

Really sad, the guy will be missed, he made some pretty awesome songs. RIP

fuck that's awful, RIP

Already seeing some puns made out of the situation. Way too soon.

Wow I live literally 5 minutes away from the high bridge and I'm just hearing about this? So terrible. R.I.P. Justin.

I mean there is that very small chance he was sane and trying to escape this whole conspiracy thing and ended up getting killed, but mental illness seems like the most likely scenario.


Either way, RIP.

Not trying to sound rude or mock his death but his story reminds me of Utopia

u guys really think he was right tho

:

Sad, RIP.

shit, this is horrible. RIP.

Seems like the guy was really sick and nobody noticed that

Awful news. R.I.P.

Great guitarist, RIP man

Yeah this is really sad, hopefully it wasn't suicide but it seems too coincidental that he just fell off a hiking trail.

http://rs1153.pbsrc.com/albums/p520/ckusma/Misc%20Gifs/d39a26d3.gif~c200

I hoped the would be ok

His car was still parked by the bridge when I drove by today

I'm still trying to fully process the stuff he wrote last month,
RIP man, I kinda want it to be something other than mental illness

holy fuck he wasn't insane then....this shits fucked up



.. that proves he was insane

Rip man. His last days must have been terrible.

I mean, if there was some truth to what he was paranoid about, I dunno if that'd be better than mental illness. That'd be creepy as fuck. In any case it's all very sad indeed.

The chances of his stories being true are the same chances of James Bond being real, it's fantasy.

Yeah if you read that rant he tweeted it's pretty clear he kinda lost his shit

there was utter lack of logic in that wall of text of his

it really shocked me when i read about this, it sort of feels like i was watching him fall apart

I wonder what the band will do after the burial...


sorry this was inappropriate

This is fucked.
Will jam ATB in his memory today.

Wow this is horrible, RIP. In Dreams and Rareform are awesome, and bring so much high school nostalgia. The facebook post he made prior to this was really upsetting, wish it didn't have to end this way. Damn good guitar player, atb were one of the one the only few good djenty bands. Gonna jam Rareform today in remembrance

Damn, lot of memories with this band. RIP

holy shit, thats fucked up
probs a suicide?

"I wonder what the band will do after the burial...


sorry this was inappropriate"

Your a terrible human being.

@tresm87, if any of that was true I think people that knew him would have spoken out about it.

"I wonder what the band will do after the burial..."

Yeah... You and every other shitbag with no respect have dropped that exact lame ass joke in every thread related to this so far. And here I was thinking that we may not see it in here. You had it covered though eh?

'He was a popular dude around here (Minneapolis).'

Not sure why that city is so popular with the djentz crowd

"I wonder what the band will do after the burial..."

yea that's not fucking cool at all

yeah definitely. I'll take the hippie crowd of Denver over the djentz crowd of Minneapolis any day though.

yeah it is actually surprising this thread isn't just a bunch of stupid puns but then again ATB have a pretty decent rep here

expected more "burial" puns tbh

its not at all. the guy obviously had severe paranoid delusions.

"His car was still parked by the bridge when I drove by today

Did... did you just try to link to your hard drive? Your personal hard drive? That only you can access?

^ dumbest shit ive seen in awhile srs

unbelievable

"I don't blame them. It's plausible when you read what Justin was saying before. Creepy shit."

I don't know man. His letter made very VERY little sense at all. I read through it several times and never for a second believed that it was the writing of a sane person. I see people saying things like "I believe what he believed" but what he believed made no sense. And thinking people are out to get you is something that a lot of mentally ill people believe.

what the hell?

Paranoia is a wild thing. So the dude started goin crazy thinking everyone was conspiring against him, he couldn't talk to anyone about it cause he thought they were in on it, which not talking about it or telling anyone what he was thinking only lead him to be alone with those thoughts and go more crazy until they completely manifested themselves into this, kind of vicious cycle here

>file:///C:/Users/Kurt%20Cobain/Pictures/2015-07-23/IMG_0835.JPG

Is....is this real life?

some true detective kinda shit

sucks so hard, rareform went hard back in the day

RIP

Ya man, that's what apophenia and a few paranoid delusions can do to you.

met him once, friendly guy, so enthusiastic about his band and the scene RIP

fucking post of the year

Post Awards 2015

The files are inn the computerrr


http://youtu.be/H2uHBhKTSe0

won't open for me

rant about a conspiracy on facebook page, now strange unexplained death? Interesting

"Authorities state that cause of death is consistent with a fall"

That doesn't necessarily mean no foul play though. I mean it's highly unlikely and I mean very very unlikely but someone could've pushed him or something

>file:///C:/Users/Kurt%20Cobain/Pictures/2015-07-23/IMG_0835.JPG

I have no words....

But seriously RIP

Whatever the REAL story is; this is very intriguing to say the least. I remember reading his post the day it happen and just hoping things will all work out...

But let's talk about his death... He fell?? When my brother told me last night that he died I immediately thought of a suicide, but a fatal fall? What exactly was he doing?? The way he died just makes all this even more weird.

"I immediately thought of a suicide, but a fatal fall? What exactly was he doing?"

Damn, never jammed this band, but this is sad. I'll have to look into one of their albums tonight.

RIP hard. m/

this is so sad the guy didn't get the help he desperately needed R.I.P. brother

will be jamming Rareform tonight

Asdfp277 falling doesnt seem like the best idea to go out

"I immediately thought of a suicide, but a fatal fall? What exactly was he doing?"

Well by this point he may have been well out of his mind, and I don't know what the landscape where he died is like but they keep saying it was at a bridge. So unstable person plus bridge equals fall I guess?

Jesus that sounds awful both ways...conspiracy or mental break/exhaustion. RIP.

this is so sad, I love this band so much, really good guitarist

Rip man

I might sound crazy for saying this but according to his manifesto the police were "out to get him" too so... We may never know if the whole conspiracy is real or not.

lol its not

y'all, give me a reason

why was the police tryna vanish him

Idk how anyone can read what he posted and think he's right or even in the right state of mind

Just to play devil's advocate, panic is a state of mind. And that post came across as either an insane guy or a guy who's scared shitless.

still, the things he said didn't quite add up

i mean, why would the police be tryna get rid of him?

oh man ... this is so sad. I almost cried when i heard this.
After the Burial is one of my favourite metalbands i have been following since they started.
And Justin Lowe was / is one of my greatest idols in playing 8-strings.

And this whole situation he got in is so weird.
Hope he finds peace where he is now

RIP

Well this fucking sucks. I bet Trent and the rest of the band are in agony.

RIP. I hope ATB continues though, fucking love them.

"I bet Trent and the rest of the band are in agony."

if Lowe's post is to be believed, that almost certainly wouldn't be the case though...

The post isn't to be believed, it sounds like the ramblings of a madman.
RIP

Whether the post is to be believed or not they still just lost a friend. He was mentally ill, he wasn't himself.

Whether the post is to be believed or not, he was still insane.

ok

my barber told me about this yesterday, this is so fucking sad

Yu have a fucking m/ barber then

he is a cool dude, he used to be a vocalist for a hardcore band. he says he's getting a band together to do stuff in the vein of full of hell this winter and put on some shows, I hope he does it cause I'm gonna go

RIP

Belowe the average life expectancy.

+A Grade comment
