Gord Kirchin, founder of Canadian metal legends The Exalted Piledriver, has checked in with the following sad news:
"Another sudden loss to the world of music: former Exalted PIledriver bassist Rob 'Lobo Elf Snort' Tollefson has passed away after a battle with cancer. We found out the sad news shortly before going on stage last night, and we dedicated the performance, and specifically the song 'Metal Inquisition' to him. Rob and I go waaay back to the '80s when we first played in the Sean Abbott band together, and if you knew Rob, you know these were heavily laughter laden years. He lived hard, he lived fully. He will truly be missed by a great many. Rest In Peace, Groundshaker, we'll all be joining you before too long. The allstar jam will be epic... and hilarious."
Thursday, September 15th, 2016 at Distortion sees The Exalted Piledriver in their first ever Western Canadian performance as part of Calgary Metalfest V, with support from Crystal Mess, Savage Streets, Profits Of Crime and Accostal.
