OK. If such topic exists - I could not find it. Remove this or so. I was just thinking that it is not necessary to create the new thread for every single person who 1. had connections with industrial scene etc. 2. died.
Today while browsing through Napalmed releases etc. I noticed this:
ENG | MartiN.B. died on March 2013. He sadly passed away. The most effective experimentator in the band's history. Called to line-up on July 2006, become important part of industrial gear.

Since Napalmed was one of the bands that has been creating such an awesome harsh noise, it is truly sad news. I wonder what the future will be for the band...

I think that the main member has always been Radek Kopel, so we hope that this project will be active still. In my opinion this is one of the best European noise industrial band since 2000s.
Uh, I hope Radek will continue with Napalmed. They did some really good stuff.
napalmed is xlent

Mick Farren died recently.
The first Deviants album and his first solo are classic bent/wrong aggressive psychedelia, his sixties memoir "Give The Anarchist A Cigarette" is the best thing of its genre I've ever read, and I am told by people who know about such things that his sci-fi novels were good too.
All-round interesting guy. Dying at age 69 just after doing a gig in a small venue seems suitably rock'n'roll.

I've been meaning to check his Sci-Fi novels out for a long time, I should get around to that. "Give The Anarchist A Cigarette" is great stuff. His book on amphetamines, shaped like a pill, is pretty good, for what it is.
All around great guy.

We are very sad to report that Joey LaCaze, drummer of Eyehategod, has passed away. Though details are sketchy at this point, we've received confirmation from a very credible source that he has in fact passed. The band recently completed a tour of Europe and was gearing up for a string of dates in celebration of their 25th anniversary.
Feels kinda strange since they just recently had a gig here in Finland w/Grunt.
Fuck!!!
Can't believe that he died!! I speak with him a lot in Budapest before gig. He was great and funny guy..
So sad about this goddamn news...

He's definitely gotten well-deserved recognition in the past couple decades, but I still say that the general public doesn't realize just how massive a presence this guy was within the world of pop music (but then again....fuck the general public!) He's not a household name like some of the other titans of music. Most people probably know him from the Bowie association and that's it. Oh, and the whole Loutallica thing....
Wayyyyy ahead of his time. His work has helped spawn subgenres like punk, goth, noise, etc...

My top 5 Lou Reed records:
1) Berlin - comically miserable and over-dramatic failed marriage album, "somebody else woulda cut off both her arms" - what a line! Good job you were such a nice guy in comparison Lou!
2) Metal Machine Music - done well before TG and Merzbow, great trance-out semi-ambient noise
3) Street Hassle - even more hilarious and now speed-addled misery and the title track is his best ever song - can't listen without blubbing
4) Take No Prisoners - double album of out-of-tune jazz/spoken word versions of songs with deliberately hideous sleeve, not as infamous but makes MMM seem like Frampton Comes Alive
5) Lulu - great obnoxious way to go out with wildly pretentious poetic noise-metal that pissed off all his fans as well as Metallica's and the record actually sounds great to me

R.I.P Sten Hanson (1936 - 2013)
"Born in Klövsjö, Sweden on 15th April 1936, Sten Hanson made his appearance in the early sixties as an experimental poet and composer. From an early stage he was aware of the importance of tape-recording techniques in the renewal and development of poetry's resources. Text-sound-visual image, often combined with intensely personal 'live" performances, are vital ingredients in Sten Hanson's artistic workmanship and he is ore of the forerunners in the field of multi-media art. His works include electro-acoustic pieces as well as instrumental and vocal compositions. From the end of the sixties up to 1979, he worked essentially with electroacoustic music and created, with Lars-Gunnar Bodin, Åke Hodell, Bengt Emil Johnson, the theory and the practice of a new aesthetic field: "The electronic text-sound". Sten Hanson realized a large number of works in various styles : works for television, ballet music, performances, audiovisual performances assisted by computer, pieces for instruments and tape and/or electronics, works for orchestras and computer music. Hanson was member of the International Society for Contemporary Music (ISCM) International. In Sweden, he was Director (1968-1977) and then Chairman (1980-1984) of Fylkingen, chairman of the ISCM (1975-1981), member of the Royal Academy of Music of Sweden and President of the Swedish Composers' Union (1985-1994), chairman of the International Confederation of Electroacoustic Music (ICEM) from 1997 to 2002."
http://www.ubu.com/sound/hanson.html
Hadn't seen anything to confirm the above but it certainly now appears to be true.
MASSIVE tip of the cap to Sten Hanson, an awful lot of people I know giving respects and celebrating his great work.
R.I.P. Bernard Parmegiani (27 October 1927 - 22 November 2013)
" Bernard Parmegiani was a composer best known for his electronic or acousmatic music.
He started off as a sound engineer for French television (ORTF, later known as RTF). Originally an actor during the four years studies at Lecoq & Decroux school, he joined the "Groupe de recherches musicales" (GRM) in 1959 for a two years master class. His first major work (Violostries) was composed in 1962 for a choregraphy performed for Théâtre Contemporain d'Amiens directed by Jacques-Albert Cartier.
Pierre Schaeffer gave him the direction of the Musique-Image departement at ORTF. During that period he composed for numerous film directors, such as R. Lapoujade, P. Foldès, P. Kamler, V. Borowczyck, P. Kast, J. Baratier or P. Kassovitz. He furthermore extended his musical researches into the field of video-art after a journey through the U.S.A. He directed three musical videos when he returned: L'Œil écoute (1973), Jeux d'artifices (1979) for the research departement of ORTF, and L'Écran transparent (1973) in Köln (Germany) during his residency at West Deutscher Rundfunk (WDR).
His interests also expanded to live performance: in the seventies he interacted with jazz artists for improv sessions with french jazz fellows J.-L. Chautemps, B. Vitet or M. Portal, and went to London to perform live with The Third Ear Band.
He created numerous jingles & soundbites for public radio stations (France-Culture or France-Musique), public television service (Antenne 2) and the Aéroport de Roissy.
During his entire career he also composed music for stage (dance & theater), screen and other media (radio & television alike). But he remains focused on electroacoustic music (or acousmatic music as defined by GRM long-time director François Bayle) conceived to be played back for the best rendition on the acousmonium broadcasting system developed by the "Groupe de recherches musicales" (GRM). "

Western medicine wasn't able to help him. I don't see anything weird in that. Don't worry about you've never heard the guy's work or knew anything about him. I am affraid he didn't heard about you and your music too. Everybody of us didn't listen all in this world.
Ok, went back & re-read. One thing said Western medicine couldn't help & someone else posted that he "refused Western medicine".
The only interesting thing I've read about him is that he was an obnoxious asshole.

He refused Western medicine because it wasn't able to help him. Probably I would do the same thing.
Everybody of us is obnoxious asshole. I didn't know that you are so much interested in what somebody thinks about us.

QuoteBurial services for Jihadi John will be held Friday at an unmarked hole on the outskirts of Raqqa. Attendees to the funeral are asked to bring IR reflective clothing easily visible on satellite imagery. You are asked not to bring children to the funeral, although if you can't find a sitter, that's okay. No big deal.

Terrible news...
I liked this comment - "So rocknroll he didn't know he had cancer until it killed him". Motorhead had gigs lined up and everything. They just never fucking stopped, even though he'd been unwell for the last year or so (well, some gigs were cancelled). A fucking unbelievable legacy.
At the risk of being disrespectful, I'm not sad at all, I'm actually quite happy. Not that he's dead, but for everything he's done. I'm celebrating his achievements, not mourning his death.
One of the human beings that became such an icon, that his death was quite a non sense news, because level of his (and whole Motorhead) activity was huge until the last second. His attitude in whole had nothing to do with "dying".

On first glance I thought this meant Scott walker had died. When that happens it'll be an entire year of mourning.
I knew some of his work before, but the first time he really got me was in Natural Born Killers with Waiting for the Miracle. After that I went back to his older works.
From The Future:
"...And all the lousy little poets coming round trying to sound like Charlie Manson...
...I've seen the future, baby: It is murder..."
Beautiful!
Fucking shit, 2016s body count is devastating!
countless songs with some of the absolute best lyrics ever.
Huge loss. What a legend. Timed well with the new album and his "I'm ready to die" statement.
Last night I stopped off at his old Montreal home where there was a memorial set up for him. Lots of candles and flowers, and lots of people even though it was quite cold out.
boo 'hoo.
did you all really listen to his songs when he was alive?
can you quote his less obvious lyrics?
I was a fan since the soundtrack of natural born killers
so The future is my favourite album

There'll be the breaking of the ancient

and all the lousy little poets
coming round
tryin' to sound like Charlie Manson
and the white man dancin'
Give me back the Berlin wall
Give me Stalin and St Paul
Give me Christ
or give me Hiroshima
Destroy another fetus now
We don't like children anyhow
I've seen the future, baby:
it is murder
curious what you're trying to get at with those remarks david? i'm not a hippy or liberal in the slightest, i posted it here because i remember discovering the room full of midwest noise freaks i was with while on tour also loved his shit and i thought no one else did because i had grown up listening to it. but yeah, fuck the doo-wop phase though...

really the only two albums I've never revisited are Ten New Songs and Dear Heather, the latter of which I don't think I could even recognize a single song off of. everything else has its worth and there's not a single weak track on the first four albums, and only a handful of bad moments on everything else that followed. Old Ideas was great, Popular Problems might get lumped in with TNS and DH, and first listen of the new album is promising.

Mickey Fitz from the Business...
met and had long talks with him several times in the past 2 decades... fuck...
Fug. Used to really dig The Business. One of the better premier Oi! bands who didn't fall into any political trap one way or the other but kept to their moral basics. Interesting how they started off quite poppy and hardened up the way on.
Wonder if it means the band will keep going, though. I expect they would.
really... their Suburban Rebel LP is one of the records any Oi fan should have... tracks like THe Real Enemy, get out while you can, etc. are impressive.
I remember that record sounded loud even at the lowest level... it had a very rough, yet powerful editing and singalongs were fucking crazy.

Are the sites linked by wikipedia reliable?
It's official. Hurt was a fine, fine actor. Played Caligula in "I, Claudius" and obviously quite relished the role. Also was a Doctor (haven't seen that episode yet, must get around to it). I recall him playing the dancer Nijinsky in a biopic of the man, he didn't have to dance but was giving a monologue, I recall it being very sombre with him saying things like "I am not mad". He had a great voice.
Yes, great actor! RIP
John Hurt's monologue in "The Proposition":

I always liked his versatility, particularly by being able to play Winston Smith in his earlier days in '1984', and then playing the effective opposite role later in his career as the High Chancellor Adam Sutler in 'V is for Vendetta'.
"Versatile" is a word that's been used for him so far, and it is interesting to look at his career in the round and see the variety of roles he's played. From mainstream blockbusters to Beckett on stage, he was always able to adapt to his role. I can see why it's easy to typecast actors into certain roles. Somehow Hurt managed to avoid that.
Really must get a copy of "1984".

During the 70's, the Cioran of Italian comedy, mixing slapstic to social satire with an extremely cynical approach. During the 80s he lost any appeal, but his early TV apparition and most 70's movies are classic.
First 3 Fantozzi, Alla mia cara mamma nel giorno del suo compleanno (devastating comedy/drama with incest/morbid moments), il Belpaese (satirical take on Italian lead years), Fracchia la belva umana. and many more were classics that unfortunately will request a very open mind from non-Italian speakers to be understood.
Any Italian has watched his movies several times and even those who dislike him use sentences or words created by him.
Its cynical take on the (then) growing middle class has some links to Monty Python's meaning of life, so do the several surreal moments, but we are in a completely different field that mixes typical Italian "comical masks", to Intellectual top "sauer comedy", to French and B/W actors like Tatì, Keaton, etc.

Narrating voice was the best thing, and a big influence on many other comedians.
Despite being an extreme left militant, he was big friend of many capitalists, lobbyists. He was conscious of this contradiction and made a lot of fun on this.
His books, even recent ones, are extremely cynical, funny but tragic at the same time, showing his constant battle with his own weaknesses, vices, etc.

Damn, his "trilogy of the dead" was the first real touch I had with zombie flicks (I don't really count Evil Dead which was the first film I bought). Not a huge loss at this point of his career but I still owe a lot to him for making me such a weirdo.

wonder why so many musicians/famous people choose hanging as a suicide method... seems extra miserable. if i were to do it i would want the last few minutes to be peaceful, nice big shot of fentanyl laced heroin would do the trick, surely cornell couldve copped some one last time...

Indeed, it looks an agonizing death but i guess they pass out very quick and they don't feel the asphyxiation. Quick pass out like the "choking game" , i imagine. Overdose will result in asphyxiation too, i think. Best way, but bloody mess, is get a heroin shot, relax for a minute or two, but not too long to change your mind, pick up a gun and blow your brains out.
I have heard it said that hanging is a much more "final" way of suiciding than others. If done correctly, the neck snaps and one dies almost instantly. There is a bit of a science to it. Professional hanging takes weight, rope strength and length, distance etc all into account. So a personal attempt could well be lengthier, more painful and even botched. Fortunately for this Bennibgton, his calculations seemed to have been correct.
One's best bet would be a good dose of Nembutal, if it can be procured. It's a bit guarded due to it's known lethal efficiency. I just recently got the book "Final Exit" which describes the most efficient methods (apparently, I've yet to read it).
The problem with suicide as it stands today is how hit and miss it is. Plenty of unsuccessful attempts in the world, sadly. It's not just the legality of it, it's how it's unaccepted in society and culture. Stupid, like nearly everything else we humans do when it comes to Death.
Personally I'd go with drugs and alcohol, perhaps combined with a good old Roman bath. It would be slower but I understand far from painful and could well be almost pleasant. I'd have to get dosage right, though, but that wouldn't be impossible.
Some people at least put a degree of thought into it (some people survive initial attempts to try again). But resources certainly have a lot to do with it. Different methods vary depending on countries - in Pakistan jumping in front of trains is popular, in China apparently insecticide is often chosen. I imagine guns would be frequently used in the US. Given that the leading cause for suicide world-wide is poverty (and not mental illness, despite the best hopes of anti-suicide wowsers), using whatever's handy isn't surprising.
Jumping may also depend on location too, there are places in the world that are frequently used as jump points. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u10VsLsWPc4&t=825s (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u10VsLsWPc4&t=825s)
Head on the railway tracks (plus train) has got to be a sure bet. Hopefully Trent Renzor will kill himself next.

Hehe, this is the local one http://www.redbull.com/gr/el/stories/1331641870607/ptisi-ston-isthmo-tis-korintou-peter-besenyei . Haven't listened any failure !
speaking of books on suicide, this is the definitive one.
(http://images.gr-assets.com/books/1181667606l/1177533.jpg)
jumping in front of a train or laying on the tracks is brutal/badass. surely not the cowards way out.
guns are used in the US more so then countries where they are unavailable, but they're really unreliable unless you have serious firepower. most people living in poverty just have shotguns and there are plenty of stories of people living after blowing their faces off so one would have to be very unstable to choose that method.
I once caught a docu. on PBS about suicide in Japan via their bullet train. It happened so often that there was a specific announcement for employees for suicide via train. I think Japan's suicide rate has gone down a little the last few years...?
For jumping, this is a good story: https://www.metal-archives.com/artists/Fucked-Up_Mad_Max/10586
I think I've only known two people whom offed themselves. One was the father of an aunt I do not care for. He was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. He shot himself with a rifle that he had hidden when family took all of his other firearms. The other, was a junkie about to go to prison. He shot up a bunch of coke & climbed up into the heating ducts or attic or something.

re-suicide.
as a psychiatric nurse have seen a lot of successful attempts but also a lot of failures, and i don't mean ill thought out attempts or 'cries for help'
like a lot of things, suicide is something you need to apply yourself to to ensure success.
knew Romero personally. met him at several festivals when I was working for comics and horror fest. cool guy.
I think he lost it (artistically) a few years ago, his latest works were ugly (Island of the dead had some great moments, despite asia argento and the "thinking Zombie") , but the trilogy, craze, martin, monkey shines, etc. were all good (more or less).
his conceptual work on Zombies was great and agreeable, despite the liberal overtone.
personally he was very smart and great fun to be around with.

It's brutal for sure. I have to go to work every day by train and I surely hear at least once a month that there's a delay because of a "human accident" somewhere on the rail-network. Once I witnessed the aftermath myself on the opposite railway, the legs were separated from the rest of the body over the distance of one village at least.
Sucks for the train driver of course, wouldn't choose this job nowadays with such a high ratio of rail suicides.
If you want to off yourself, do it decent with a car in the garage, good ol' carbon monoxide is a clean and comfortable way out.
If you're going to kill yourself I don't think "clean and comfortable" are generally very important considerations to the party at hand.

Not true. Plenty of instance when the suicide considered some methods over others. In a lot of cases it's a matter of using whatever is handy, certainly, but if you've got a choice you should use it. I know I'd prefer clean and comfortable. Nembutal or nitrous oxide, together with larges amounts of alcohol and drugs. The last thing I'd do is something like jump in front of a train or truck.
It's a real pity one can't just go to the doctor, explain one's situation, and be prescribed something effective and painless, then make one's arrangements, say one's goodbyes and then just die. Instead we have various scary, painful and unconditional "methods" that put most people off except the very desperate. Suicide should be for all.

Harry Dean Stanton was also in Alien, Kelly's Heroes, Up in Smoke, Cool Hand Luke, Christine, Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid, Escape from New York and a shitload more!
In a few years, none of the 'Greats' in film will be left...
"Stanton... Ruminating about death in a 2013 interview in The New Yorker, he said, "When you're deep asleep and not dreaming, where the fuck are you? There's total blackness, it's nothing, right? So I'm hoping that's what death is, that it's all gonna go. I don't want to deal with any consciousness afterward."

Yeah, it seems like that's correct based on what I've read on his book (it's free on his homepage and it is a very nice read http://hardyfox.com/home/ (http://hardyfox.com/home/)) and from things you can sort of figure out from the Residents documentary.
From Hardy Fox homepage:
QuoteHardy Fox grew up in Texas. After college he moved to San Francisco reveling in the free love days of 1967-68. He co-founded the much loved cult band, the Residents, where he was primary composer.
Hardy retired from The Residents in 2015 but continued to compose for the group through 2018. In addition to his work with that band, he has recorded as a solo artist under various names including Charles Bobuck, Combo de Mechanico, Sonido de la Noche, Chuck, TAR, among others.

Quite gutted by this. Have enjoyed a whole raft of his output over the years, his production work for Fuck Buttons being right up there. And seen a good number of his DJ sets at various places. Hope he went peacefully.
He taught a whole generation of indie kids about acid house, which is a great thing.

QuoteThe following message is from Genesse and Caresse P-Orridge. If anyone needs to get in touch, please email me at ryan@daisrecords.com. I'll make a personal statement later, once things settle down.
Dear friends, family and loving supporters,
It is with very heavy hearts that we announce thee passing of our beloved father, Genesis Breyer P-Orridge.
S/he had been battling leukemia for two and a half years and dropped he/r body early this morning, Saturday March 14th, 2020.
S/he will be laid to rest with h/er other half, Jaqueline "Lady Jaye" Breyer who left us in 2007, where they will be re-united.
Thank you for your love and support and for respecting our privacy as we are grieving.
Caresse & Genesse P-Orridge
#s/heisher/eforever
S/he looked in a rough way for a long time. Leukemia is a cunt, but the constant fund raising thanks to the US healthcare system must have been the biggest drain.
Made some poor decisions in life if you have read the Cosey ArtSexMagic book, but then most of us do to some degree.
Time to rest.

Will never forget the first time I heard Hamburger Lady, on the radio, age fourteen. That was brutal, and perfect, and brutal. And perfect. Months later the same radio dj, or possibly some other fucked up radio personage of comparable vision, broadcasts Persuasion. And I think I fell in love.

What a fucking disgraceful year 2020.
When people who's work I admire and enjoy die, like Florian Schneider, I tend to feel a bit good about it, as to me it's the completion of a lifetime's effort that no longer needs prolonging. I felt that about Lemmy, Lux Interior, Conrad Schnitzler, other people who I think did a good job navigating the shitstream of Life in a satisfactory and certainly entertaining way.
I mean, how long do we want people to live for, anyway? Some get out while the getting's good. That's more luck than I'll ever have.

Never saw SNFU and never really tried to get into them, but have always intended to try.
The first time I saw Chi Pig was after he had just been kicked out of a bar on Commercial Drive in Vancouver. He was extremely wasted and more or less about to pass out in the entrance. He was still funny, though. A definite legend and Vancouver staple who was important to many people beyond mere "fans".

He kissed me once at a bar in 2010 after the Killing Joke gig on Granville (the place was just called Venue as far as I recall.) I spit a rum and coke in his face. Never a band I got super into, but have always thought they were pretty good at what they did. Don't think I ever caught them live, but Mr. Chi Pig would often sing 'Glycerine' by Bush at the Cobalt when I'd be there for karaoke nights.

I wasn't lucky enough (yes you older people reading this I'm fucking envious of you) to be born decades prior to witness the origins and expansion of noise & industrial culture, etc.
but I can safely say in retrospect that for someone born in the 90's, DOOM was clearly a huge gateway to obscurity:
-Multiple aliases, some of which you only knew it was him because of the voice, rather than being credited
-The approach to sampling made it clear that non-musical sounds could be repurposed for intrigue, atmosphere, sound collage
-Of course word choices and references to countless things I'd never heard of before
The list goes on and I have a strong feeling I'm not the only one on this board who owes a little or a whole lot to Dumile.

MF Doom passing bummed me out much more than I thought it would to be honest. Operation Doomsday, Vaudeville Villain, and Madvillainy are all game changing albums. For one person to put out SO MUCH quality in their lifetime is so rare. I don't pretend to be some hip-hop enthusiast or expert but his producing and rapping is of such high quality, I think it's going to leave a big hole in the scene. One of the best.

Hank Van Helvete, changed the way I meant the word erection.
Only meet him once when Turbonegro played with San Fransisco Boogie Band (Union Carbide as a gay psych band). One of the funniest shows I ever attended. 20 in the audience on a Tuesday in the early nineties. Hank was nude most of the time wearing white cowboy boots and a belt. Like a cheerful GG.

Terrible news! But is there a credible source? And what's this about Albin "Sunlight", had he become a born again Christian lately? I lost track of his activities a decade ago.
Sad but true. Albin passed due to a sudden health issue. We are all speechless since he was very lively and fun to be collaborate with until the last minute.
A clear statement I allow myself to add is that it is not suicide as somebody implied, somebody misunderstood a metaphore about him leaving this planet, written by a close friend of Albin's but it was just a romantic way to say he simply sadly passed.
Regarding sunlight: No he was not born again Christian, but into psychedelic cultures.

Looks legit with Monte. It's all over the internet. Well, important guy in the early industrial scene, no doubt. Good riddance to him.
I was in comms with his partner Meri earlier this AM. As more than a few folks I know (who knew him better than I did), they definitely broke the mold after they made him!
the first time I met him, some 6 years ago, was (for me), emblematic of who Monte was: he was waiting for me in a parking lot, swinging a short rope (maybe 6 feet long?) with a decent sized hunting kife attached to the end...

RIP Coma Detox was one of the first projects that I got into when exploring power electronics. I especially appreciated the interview where he talked about collecting (or was it working for a publisher?) various medical texts.
I think it was working for the publisher.
Anyway, huge bummer. The man is responsible for some of my favorite noise projects. DS is one of my go-to picks from the cassette rack.
Perhaps less known due not being artists nor label, but Yury P. was one of the biggest noise collectors I know from Russia and getting news he died few days ago was unexpected and unfortunate.

Deadly Actions was the first place outside Finland for Grunt to play live. They also put out Grunt tape already in 1998, "Someone is watching" was first release of their sublabel for more aggressive and noisy releases. Couple CD's and always distributing the stuff. I really appreciate Stéphane that even when having aggressive brain tumor, he'd just continue what he was committed to. It's not long time when we last did trade and I grabbed box of "Someone is watching" CD's from him.
