Notable Deaths

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Burke Shelley from Budgie. The trigger band to a helluva lot of great heavy metal!

[vinterland]

Will Corcoran. Drummer from Revenant. Only released one album in "Prophecies of a Dying World" but was still one of the finest death thrash albums to see the light of day. Can't say they didn't try to warn us. Almost inevitably it was released in 1991. Rest in peace.

Meatloaf just died at 74. A great performer. Saw him in Marlay Park years ago after getting free tickets after Ozzy pulled out of the Punchestown gig.

Fredrik Johansson of Dark Tranquillity fame. One of the guitarists on the Gallery, the Mind's I and Projector. 47 years old. No age. The Mind's I has got to be in the top five melodic death metal albums of all time. Always took to it more than the Gallery. Both hugely influential releases nonetheless. Rest in peace.

Johnny Z! Rip without that man the musical world would have a different landscape.

[Necro Red]

I actually thought he was well older than that. Him and his wife are legends and most certainly helped change music history.

[Paul keohane]

I actually didnt know much about him until loads of bands were paying tribute on social media yesterday.

Roman Kostrszewski from KAT (Pol).

Fucking gutted... "Metal and Hell" is one of my favourite albums of all time. Spun it to death!!!  Was really looking forward to seeing them at The Abyss.
