black midi's Matt has died 2026-01-12 by I AM NOT ZIG | 23 Comments | Matthew Kwasniewski-Kelvin, founding black midi member, has passed away. Rough Trade Records shared the sad news through an Instagram post, saying: "It is with deep sadness that we as a family regret to inform you that Matthew Kwasniewski-Kelvin has died after a long battle with his mental health." He was 26 years old.
In early 2021, Matt went on hiatus from the band for mental health reasons. Schlagenheim remains the only studio record that he was part of, essentially as a guitar player, but he also did vocals duties on "Years Ago".
If you are struggling with your mental health, please remember that you do not have to face it alone. Reaching out to trusted loved ones, such as friends or family members, can be an important first step. You may also find support through a range of mental health charities, including Mind, CALM, and Samaritans, which offer confidential advice, emotional support, and someone to talk to whenever you need it. These services are available to listen without judgment and can help you navigate difficult moments, whether you are in crisis or simply need reassurance and understanding.

@anthropod - I'd like to imagine most people can read between the lines on what they meant.

I don't think I've ever seen it put like this. As a human being, huge RIP. Such cases are always gut-wrenching.

Cut down too soon, what a shame. At least his legacy lives on through an album that has inspired many many bands since it came out, and will likely continue to in the future. Rest in Peace
