As previously reported, URGEHAL founding guitarist/vocalist Trond "Trondr Nefas" Bråthen has just passed away last week at the age of 34.
His fellow bandmates Uruz and Enzifer issued the following statement:
“The greatest is gone. Trondr Nefas, our dearest friend and companion for more than 20 years, suddenly passed away last week. He died a peaceful and natural death at one of his favourite places, surrounded by woods and crystal lakes. Thanks for all the years with friendship, music and madness. For the good times and the bad times. Through your dark devotion for black metal, you have inspired so many. You were a true pioneer. We will miss you, but never forget you, because your legacy will live on. Our deepest sympathy goes to Trond’s fiancée Octavia, and both of their families. We appreciate all of the condolences and support given to us after his tragic death.Sammen var vi dynamitt!!!”
Nefas and guitarist Enzifer formed the band in Hønefoss, Norway in 1992. The band's last full-length was 2009's Ikonoklast. Their Death Is Complete (EP) was issued in 2011.
