Lars Göran Petrov, known to many as the legendary death metal vocalist LG Petrov, has passed away.

The frontman for the Swedish death metal outfits Entombed, Entombed A.D., and Firespawn passed away yesterday from bile duct cancer. Initially, his diagnosis inspired a GoFundMe page to support his chemotherapy.

Formed in the late '80s, Petrov's first band, Entombed, were pioneers in the Swedish death metal circuit. The band's 1990 debut, Left Hand Path, would go on to be one of the greatest metal records of all time.

Described as a down-to-earth joy and humble human, Children of Bodom frontman Alexi Laiho brought an unmatched level of grace and humility to one of Rock's most grotesque subgenres.

Dead at the age of 41, Laiho was one of metal's most beloved trendsetters. Known for taking his neoclassical training and translating it into groundbreaking death metal, his band's sudden break-up in 2019 dismayed longtime fans, who saw COB growing and becoming the best version of themselves just before it all ended.

The Bloodiest Bands of All Time

These guys are bats*it crazy, but it's Spooky Season after all!

Spooky season is upon us, and that means that it's time for us to pay respect to the bands and artists that genuinely terrify us.

The world of music is such a diverse and creatively open environment, which is both a gift and a curse. It's a gift in that self-expression, no matter how horrid, is (usually) welcomed with open arms, and it's a curse because self-expression, no matter how horrid, is (usually) welcomed with open arms. Let's take a look at the worlds spookiest musical acts and pay homage to those that have scarred us forever!

Slipknot

You can't talk about scary musicians without discussing the antics of Corey Taylor's 17-piece metal ensemble: Slipknot. Those spooky masks aside, the guys have all come clean about the absolutely bats*it things they've done as a band. From getting pissed on by two girls to huffing the scent of a jarred bird's corpse to get high on stage, these guys have a gauntlet of horror stories seemingly with no end. Also, let's not forget that they got into a fight using their own feces. Rock on guys, I guess.
