Oh no!!!
Finntroll is one of the greatest bands ever!
Why do they have to bear so much shit!? First their singer has to quit (or pause) due to a serious desease and now their guitarist dies...
Had hoped to see the full line-up again e.g. in Wacken this year...
Ah fuck... And then alcohol...

 

[Rosk]

Yeah it's a shame. This was very young and creative guy. Definitely a big loss
