The band made the following comment on their social media:
Dear friends,
With a very heavy heart we have to announce the passing of Angel Dust co founder and former bandmember Frank " Banx" Bankowsky.
This came out of nothing for everyone and we are shattered and shocked. Though we lost close contact after his departure he was still a friend and a brother to us. He was the humerous soul of the band, a good guy and true friend and his work and contribution especially on the lyrical side where unsurpassed. Thanks to him, we had legendary experiences and endless laughter on tour and in the studio. His character has driven us to new and higher goals. He will be truly missed and he was loved.
Rest In peace, brother. Thank you for the good times, the music, the lyrics and the laughter. May you enlighten the darkness of the other side.

RIP Frank. Into the Dark Past is a mandatory thrash jam.

Funny thing is, I always liked their power metal phase much more than their thrash metal one. RIP.

RIP, feels like yesterday when I was jamming Bleed.
| | |
RIP, I've seen these guys live during Border of Reality tour.
Killer power/thrash metal (early), modern metal (later).

Angel Dust ruled, RIP Hard

Hard RIP, these guys are so underrated.
