R.I.P. Way too young. I still jam their album pretty regularly, guess it's due for another spin soon.

oh man horrible news : ( hard rip

Yeah, I just jammed their album and it's definitely better than I initially gave it credit for. Almost nostalgic in sound despite me never really following them closely.

RIP as well to someone gone too soon.

Damn that’s sad. Dude is younger than me loved Of Machines so much and got to meet Bennet at a show long ago. RIP.

RIP, great record.

Dude, what the fuck. I’m getting a bad feeling about an overdose or suicide..

God damn it. I love of machines. He’s literally only a year older than me. First Diego Farias, then Tim Feerick.. dude is a legend in the scene and his vocals are amazing on OM..

RIP dude

Jesus Christ, way too young. R.I.P.

God damnit

awful news, rip

For FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF's SAKE

He must've been like 18 on that album

RIP

16-17 recording it

I used to love this band so this is very saddening. Their album is amazing and still holds up. Also, they released their album in March 2009 which would have made him 16 at the time. RIP.

fuuuuck. I recently re-discovered my love for that Of Machines album and have been listening to it semi regularly. He was fantastic on it. So sad

This is really sad.

WHAT THE FUCK

darkest timeline.

I fucking hate this world guys.

Hard RIP. Loved this dude's vocals, can't believe he was 16 when this album was recorded.

in the afterlife, i like to imagine Diego Farias playing guitar, Tim Feerick playing bass, and now Bennett Freeman screaming (with maybe a drum machine, idk any drummers who were faves of the scene who have passed, thank goodness..)

also keaton pierce is providing gut wrenching cleans, poor guy :'(

with guest vocals rom Garred ODonnell from Planes Mistake for Stars

He's only one year older than me and it's scary to think about stuff like that. He was taken far too young! R.I.P.

fuck that is way too young to go / rest in peace

I had no idea the harshes and cleans on that album weren't done by the same person.

why is everyone fucking dying.

RIP, brother. Thanks for contributing to one of the greatest albums ever made. You are one talented guy.

Drugs. Street drugs becoming the norm in America. So many overdoses these days of people with EVERYTHING ahead of them..

Know what I'm jamming tonight. Big RIP

Yeah, lotta fentanyl OD's lately. That's how Tim Feerick died.

Tragic stuff man.

It’s fucked. Test your drugs people. It could all be over in an instant

no powders no pills

Just smoke weed instead

RIP

Smoke weed eeeerydyyyy

Sad shit, way too fucking young. I've actually been jamming their album a lot lately, still absolutely rules.

Fucked up. RIP

Dude, i had no idea of knowing, when i was 16-17 listening to this in my car driving to school, that the screamer would be gone before i am. so sad

and if you smoke weed, don't vape that synthetic shit. its not even real weed (a plant) at that point. just chemical drugs

“Test your drugs” LOL

or… just don’t do drugs and don’t harm your body?

RIP. always thought these guys were well above a vast majority of their peers in quality.

"or… just don’t do drugs and don’t harm your body?" i bet you're great at parties

Straight edge saving lives each party at a time

i agree with both ow and radio. different strokes. some folks will do drugs even knowing theyre healthier without. ive been sober for half a year now and i plan on keeping it that way, but i may hit a joint in the distant future

just try to be safe yanno

Well said chum.

hard rip

its okay to speculate on a stranger's untimely death as long as you don't mention the elephant in the room lol.

But anyway, I saw Of Machines in a 250 cap room opening for Attack Attack on the Someday Came Suddenly tour in 2009 and they were incredible. Been a big fan ever since and their LP stays on regular rotation still. Big RIP

"Sailing alone around the rooooooooom"

oh, congrats on the sobriety dude!

i would never advocate for usage of anything that isn't provided by mother nature. past that, it's up to the individual to be educated and draw the lines for themselves. none of us make it out of here alive, and if I'm exacerbating that end to have some crazy stories, so be it. Less years on this earth doesn't strike me nearly as bad as living an unlived life.

too young. RIP

"or...just don't do drugs and harm your body?"

Who invited the DARE officer here?

"its okay to speculate on a stranger's untimely death as long as you don't mention the elephant in the room lol."

shhh dont bring it up theyll block u for even mentioning the jibjab lol
its just the street drugs brah

Very unexpected news, RIP.

Ummmm what’s the elephant in the room? Jibjab?

Was homie eaten by a snake or something? They mentioned he kept 30 reptiles in his apartment at one point lol

he helped create habitats for reptiles at the local zoo i believe, so probably just a reptile enthusiast

Sorry it seemed like some ppl were acting like they knew what happened :/

It's all speculation atm.

*sigh* RIP, dude. Your voice will live on..
