Membros dos TESTAMENT, SUICIDE SILENCE, EXODUS, HATEBREED, AMON AMARTH e QUEENSRÜCHE estão entre os músicos que reagiram nas redes sociais à morte de Trevor Strnad, o vocalista da banda de death metal THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER. O falecimento do músico foi anunciado pelos seus companheiros de banda ontem à noite, numa mensagem onde pode ler-se: “É com profunda tristeza que anunciamos aqui a morte do Trevor Scott Strnad. Um filho amado, irmão, e porta-estandarte de momentos bem passados, foi amado por todos aqueles que o conheceram. Era uma enciclopédia ambulante de todas as coisas relacionadas com música. Gostava de dar abraços, de escrever e era verdadeiramente um dos maiores entertainers do mundo. As letras que escreveu forneceram ao mundo histórias, feitiços, horror e maldade. Viveu a vida para ser o vosso espectáculo“. Numa publicação em separado, o guitarrista dos THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, Brandon Ellis, escreveu: “Não posso sequer começar a processar isto… Estou em total choque e sinto-me inundado por incredulidade. Tem sido uma enorme honra passar os últimos seis anos e meio numa banda com este ícone absoluto. Um irmão. Um melhor amigo. O Trevor mudou a minha vida e acreditou em mim mais do que eu próprio. Não acredito que não haverá mais risos, canções escritas em conjunto, ou palcos dizimados com Trevor ao leme. Espero que soubesse o quanto era amado em todo o mundo“. Em Novembro do ano passado, Strnad partilhou nas redes sociais que estava a ter dificuldades em lidar com a morte da sua mãe, que tinha falecido “muito abruptamente“. “Mesmo aos 40 anos, ainda é difícil. Éramos próximos. Sinto-me como um miúdo perdido“, escreveu ele.
RIP Trevor Strnad, you’ll be missed dearly, my deepest condolences to TDBM, his family, friends & fans. Thanks for all the laughs, the stories, the music, & so much more. ❤️❤️❤️

Totally shocking news. Truly great guy/artist. Testament was supposed to tour with the band (derailed by Covid) and it was a blast to work with him in @metalallegiance. Huge loss.

Our hearts go out to Trevor Strnad’s family and loved ones. He lit up stages and grimy green rooms alike. We were once privileged to see him do so nightly, many years ago during a special time in our young lives. Rest easy old friend. 🖤
