This is really sad. 

Slava Giebel, the 20 year old guitarist for German metal band StrydegoR, was killed in a car accident this week. You’ve probably never heard of him or the band (I haven’t either), and that’s what makes it so sad- their debut album is coming out in two weeks. What horrible timing. It’s sad anyway, because it’s someone younger than Elise and I, but even more so because it’s someone from the metal community. Damn. I hope they release the album on time anyway, it’s the best way to remember a fallen comrade.
