The latest person to be taken from the Metal community, it brings us great sadness to announce that Bolthrower Drummer Kearns has passed away.

Releasing a statement from their Facebook page the band announce that the drummer who was only 38 died peacefully in his sleep. Prior to a rehearsal before their scheduled Australian tour the drummer thought something was amiss and passed away the following day on the 14th of September.

Our sincerest condolences go out to Kearns and his friends and family at this horrible time, his incredible drumming legacy with the monolithic Bolthrower will never been forgotten.

Rest In Peace
