I find it incredibly sad when someone feels so low and hopeless that they think the only way to stop the pain is by ending their life. R.I.P.

Btw. the embedded song fucking slays

it's a reminder of how heavy metal brings together the alienated, confronting their mental struggles through music and community. idgaf how corny this sounds, but this larger-than-life music is made by real people at the end of the day.

rest in peace and thank you for the music, your gifts will be cherished always.

damn. Reminds me that when they performed at MDF a few years ago someone killed themselves jumping off a bridge on the first day.
Nisse was awesome and had a fun performance on stage. Hate to hear he went out like this RIP

it not over yet, we have another quarter of the year left. Seems like the second half of the year is all about ending metal and to remind us that we are getting old and this genre will die with us.
