“This morning we learned that the man transported to the hospital from our show last night in Milwaukee passed away from natural causes. Our hearts are broken for him and his family. Once again we ask that you send the family your thoughts, prayers and deepest condolences and respect their right to privacy during this time.”

His name and condition were not immediately known, but various fans in attendance have left comments on the band’s social media saying he was unresponsive and that he has sadly passed. Ghost commented:

“Tonight, in Milwaukee there was a medical emergency with one of our fans. We decided not to continue out of respect to him and his family. Ghost and all who work with us ask that you please send the family your thoughts, prayers and respect their privacy during this time.”

Hollywood Undead have premiered a new song titled “Gotta Let Go.” Johnny 3 Tears commented:

“At times when we look at the past, we only see the struggles and the hardships. We too often forget about the good moments because we are blinded by the pain we all go through. This song is about letting go of that pain so we can see that life can be a beautiful experience.”

Alexi Laiho On New Children Of Bodom Album: “It’s More Rock ‘N’ Roll”

Posted by caemanamelio on

Children Of Bodom have been in the studio recording their new album, and Alexi Laiho recently discussed the effort during an interview with Metal Hammer. He said the following about the recording process: “We’re actually doing really well — it’s been super-fast so far, so now I am just hoping that everything is going to go smoothly from here onwards.” He also added:

“We do what we always do; we’re always very well prepared when we go in, so I guess this time around we practiced a shit-ton of times, a lot more than we did with the last record, and that’s one of the reasons it’s been going so smoothly.”

As far as the musical direction, he said:

“It’s actually a lot more straightforward as far as song structures go. ‘I Worship Chaos’ was also pretty straightforward, but it’s got more of a rock ‘n’ roll vibe to it. It’s still metal and dark and shit like that, but I’d say it’s more rock ‘n’ roll.”
