HATE Bassist Found Dead

In a tragic turn of events, bassist Sławomir "Mortifer" Kusterka of the group Hate has passed away.

The band released a statement saying-

At night 5th/6th April near a German town of Munchberg, our friend, best comrade and longtime bass player unexpectedly passed away. After the show in Stuttgart last night he went to sleep and never woke up. We found him lifeless early in the morning and immediately called an ambulance. He was reanimated, but to no avail. Results of Slawek's autopsy should be known soon. In this situation, we decided to cancel the remaining shows and return home. We gave detailed testimonies to the German police. We are shocked and shattered by his sudden, unexpected death. We mourn together with Slawek's family and friends.

Simply tragic to have a family member, a friend, a band mate, a great musician go to bed a seemingly healthy dude and to not wake up again. Sławomir was the group's bassist for the past five years, with his final contribution to their discography being their brand new album Solarflesh that came out earlier this year. I'm sure there'll be more details out as things happen, but the bottom line is really that the metal universe lost a great player to the great gig in the sky, and we're going to miss him. Go jam Hate's latest in his honor (and pick yourself up a copy if you haven't, because damn is it a good album!)-
