Undeath Post Powerful Tribute to The Black Dahlia Murder’s Trevor Strnad: “You Were the First Person to Ever Ride For Us”

Yesterday, the metal world was shaken by the announcement that Trevor Strnad, frontman of Michigan death metallers The Black Dahlia Murder, had died at the age of 41. Since news of Trevor’s death broke, countless artists have paid tribute to him via social media. But it’s the online memorial from New York death metal upstarts Undeath that hit us the hardest.

Undeath posted a picture of them hanging out with Trevor, and included the following message:

“We love you so much, Trevor.

“Thank you for your passion, your generosity, your humor, your immense talent and your indomitable spirit.

“When this band was nothing — just Kyle, Matt and I rolling around in Kyle’s astrovan, too broke to even buy a tuner pedal – you were the first person to ever ride for us. When we needed someone with a killer voice to bring ‘Lesions’ home, you were the first and only name on our list. I know I’ve thanked you a billion times for all this, but I wish I got to tell you at least one more time how much you changed our lives.

“You took us out on the first big tour we ever did and gave us experiences that we will all cherish and remember for the rest of our lives. That meant everything to us. It still does. It always will.

“To everyone else: hold your people close. Never let them forget how much you love them. How important their life is to yours. We’re all that we have.

“Rest easy, Trevor. As long as there’s a young metalhead out there getting introduced to the good stuff by someone even the tiniest fraction as cool and inspiring as you, you’ll never really be gone.”

Everyone at MetalSucks sends their heart out to the guys in Undeath and all of the other bands who Trevor helped, collaborated with, and inspired over the years.
