This is really a terrible year for music. Another great musician died. This is really a terrible thing. I had the opportunity of see the band in a live show in my country a few years ago and I sincerely love their performance. He had surely much many things to offer us in the next years. Anyway, the things are what they are.
RIP, man. We will miss you, for sure.

What's going on? Seriously. This... this is beyond normal. He was one of the most incredible guitarists and knew how to use simplicity. I'm in utter shock right now. I just can't believe it. Fuck, this is shit news. What the fuck.

2016 has been a a horrible year for music so far. Not because of the quality of music being put out, but just so many stars have passed away just in the last several weeks.

do you think it's linked to drugs or alcohol? maybe he had some kind of heart disease

drugs can weaken a heart over time, but i dont think piotr was someone who abused drugs, or even took it for that matter

@Mythodea Saw that post; the last bit said something about a "release" for late spring, early fall this year. They working on a new album??

don't know. It's all so sudden and out of the blue. Maybe it's an EP. It's even more confusing now that Piotr is gone, their future, their lives. The more time passes, the more I realize he's gone.
