October 21, 2007, 17 years ago
As previously reported, MINISTRY bassist Paul Raven passed away on October 20th at the age of 46 due to an apparent heart attack. Reports indicate he died at home. SOCIETY 1 frontman Matt Zane has issued the following statement:
"Paul Raven was the most stand up guy I ever had the pleasure to work with. The thing about Raven is that after working together he made an effort in the following years to stay in touch even if it was just to drop you a quick message to let you know he was keeping an eye on you. That was the coolest thing about him. He respected you and made it a point to let you know that. With everything he has done with his career he didn't have to stay in contact or even admit his involvement with me and my band but that's what separated him in my eyes from all the other musicians I've had dealings with over the years. I have the greatest respect for him. A great musician and a great person. I will truly miss him."Raven played bass on Society 1's Exit Through Fear album. He also toured with the band in support of the album.
