That's pretty bad news, but Bruce beat cancer and Nergal beat leukaemia so fingers crossed, I'm sure that Satyr is a fighter!

He seems pretty upbeat about it which is great.

More bad news for metal sadly Frank Watkins bassist with Gorgoroth and ex obituary died today.

In December 1995 Xasthur was formed by Malefic. After numerous members coming and going Malefic decided that he and Xasthur would be stand a better chance he he took total control and Xasthur became a one man project. Between 1995 and 2010 when Malefic decided to end Xasthur he had released eight full length albums eight splits with the likes of Nortt , Leviathan , Nachtmystium and Striborg. Xasthur plays a very dark , grim and raw Depressive Black Metal and like its subject matter it is filled with despair and anguish it can also be quite beautiful at times.
