  • Disfear Drummer Marcus Andersson Passes Away

    Disfear Drummer Marcus Andersson has sadly passed away. His death was related to a lengthy battle with glioblastoma, a type of brain cancer.

    The band issued a statement:

    “With profound sadness and grief, we are sharing the news of the untimely passing of our longtime friend and drummer, Marcus Andersson. Marcus fought incredibly hard but ultimately lost his 4-year battle with glioblastoma and leaves behind his beloved wife, children and dog.

    Marcus has played with Disfear since 1998, contributing significantly to the creative trajectory of the band. Marcus was the best of friends, an incredible drummer, and a driving force, full of passion. A big heart, pumping to a rhythm that only he could uniquely master, has sadly stopped beating.

    Losing Marcus, following the losses of Henrik and Tomas, is hard to comprehend.

    Hug your loved ones.”
