Alles rund um Dark Wave, EBM, Gothic und Industrial

Hi!

Ist ein wenig OT für dieses Board, aber da Quorthon nunmal in meiner Jugend eines meiner "Idole" war, will ich die Meldung nicht unter den Tisch fallen lassen.

Zitat:

BATHORY mastermind Thomas "Quorthon" Forsberg was found dead in his apartment in Stockholm, Sweden on Monday, June 7, informed sources have told BLABBERMOUTH.NET. The 39-year-old son of Black Mark Records owner Börje Forsberg, widely considered to be one of black metal's founding fathers, died of an apparent heart failure. More information as it becomes available.

Hätte nicht gedacht, daß mich so eine Meldung schocken könnte - schließlich sterben ständig irgendwelche Musiker - aber QUORTHON... Wer rechnet mit sowas.

Bei mir hat die Bathory Gedenkwoche begonnen.

Zitat:

Legendary video director and founding BATHORY member Jonas Åkerlund has spoken to Sweden's Expressen newspaper about the passing of BATHORY mastermind Thomas "Quorthon" Forsberg from what is believed to be heart failure. Forsberg, who was known to have been battling heart problems for years, was found dead in his apartment in Stockholm, Sweden on Monday (June 7). He was 39 years old. "It's so sad. He had much more to offer," Åkerlund said. "[BATHORY came onto the scene] extremely early," Åkerlund said. "People like Marilyn Manson, Billy Corgan and the members of METALLICA have all come up to me and have told me that they listened to BATHORY." "[Quorthon] had a high cult status," Jonas said. "He wasn't interested in attention, he just wanted to play his music."
