Not sure if this belongs here or not but I thought it was relevant.

He died in a motorcycle accident that apparently wasn't his fault. An SUV failed to yield and hit him.

He was a hell of a player. Crack the Skye remains one of my top 5 albums.

This double blows for me personally.

My father who's an avid motorcyclist to say the least, Only just hit 50 recently. When he was teaching me to drive he constantly drilled it into my head to triple check for motorbikes, especially in your blind spots.

But also Mastodon might be the biggest influence to my music taste today. hearing Blood and Thunder on the soundtrack for NFS Most Wanted was the heaviest thing I had heard in my life up to that point.

The Hunter came out when I was in high school, They released the Black Tongue music video leading up to the full album. I downloaded that bitch in glorious 360p and threw it on my PSP so I could keep re-playing it at school and show my friends.

RiP a legend.
