Yeah, this one hurts

absolutely huge R.I.P., gonna jam Soilwork in his honor

Total shocker, absolutely huge R.I.P. (2).
I would argue it was his input that made Soilwork leap over their late 2000's slump and deliver such great albums like The Living Infinite and The Ride Majestic. Also read that he commited suicide which makes it extra sad. If you feel hopeless, talk to someone, anyone. : (

Man that sucks, Rest in peace

Hearing them mention alcohol and mental illness in the statement is just brutal, as someone who is struggling with something similar... RIP

Yeah I thought the same when I read it. Really unnecessary imo. They could've said something like he struggled with depression

I appreciate their honesty about it tbh

I won't judge too hard because they were the ones close to him and not me. Just don't feel like the alcoholism bit was necessary

Omg noo 😢 RIP

this sucks he was 100% the reason for their little comeback, RIP. great guitarist as well

I was jamming TLI through Verk these past few days and then this hits. Def gonna have to give the new album a listen now. RIP to a brilliant guitarist

Just got back home and read this... I'm at a loss for words. It is extremely upsetting and I can only imagine the pain and guilt of the ones around him.
R.I.P. David.

RIP David

RIP David

We need to take mental health seriously ASAP, not just awareness

RIP David. Another taken too soon.

Fuck this sucks.

RIP

It's always a shame hearing someone lose themselves like this. RIP

Dude wrote or co-wrote so many great songs with Soilwork's revival.

well this fucking blows.
just watched the making of for the new album the other day where david talked about his problems with depression and alcohol.
huge rip. what a loss.

Damn that is sad. RIP.

may he rest in peace

"Good on them for being open about what happened. Nobody is saying you're a terrible person because you died of alcoholism, but you still died of alcoholism, no use skirting around the reality of it like its some dirty secret that people drink themselves to death ALL THE TIME."

But he committed suicide correct? He didn't die from liver failure. It's just unnecessary details imo that could simply remain private between his family and friends. Obviously, not everyone feels that way though. Not saying my opinion is the law

message from The Night Flight Orchestra:

"Goodnight sweet doctor.
We all hope you’ve finally found peace. We will miss you so much. You were one of a kind and a brilliant musician. Sadly alcohol and mental illness took you away from us. It hurts so much. Our deepest condolences goes out to David Andersson’s family on this difficult day. He’s music will live on forever. Thank you for all the unforgettable times together. See you on the other side.

-Björn, Jonas, Sharlee, Anna, Åsa, Sebastian, John & Rasmus."

Sad news, RIP!

I'm not 100% sure on the suicide because I'm really just basing that off someone saying it was

RIP

RIP to this man! Haven't really jammed much more than a few tracks from the past 10 years from them. I'll jam an album with him on it in his honor. What album do you guys recommend with him behind the guitar?

The Living Infinite

[2]

Fuuuuuuuck, RIP mental illness is a relentless bitch, this hurts

Tragic. Too many greats going away early.

RIP

What an unbelievable shame :c

Hard RIP. One of Soilwork's best guitarists.

RIP. This really hit me, the guy absolutely reinvigorated Soilwork and made them stand out. His style was unique, truly one of a kind. Gone too soon.

This fucking sucks man

This is tragic. RIP

A lot of people end up in that cycle of mental illness and alcohol abuse, even people who have a lot going for them, mental illness and addiction doesn't care who you are. Scary.

Man... Soilwork isn't one of my favorites, but I respect them, and I can tell there's a lot of heart in his contributions. Sad news. R.I.P.
