March 24, 2013, 11 years ago
DARK FUNERAL / INFERNAL's Matte Modin has confirmed via Facebook that guitarist David Parland (Infernal, Dark Funeral) passed away on March 19th at the age of 42. Cause of death has not been revealed as yet.
Dark Funeral bandmate Lord Ahriman has since posted the following message via Facebook with regards to the tragic news:
During the last couple of weeks I was in close contact with David. He was going through an extremely difficult time of life, whereof he contacted me to ask for my help.
Even though the two of us had abit of a complicated relationship over the years (much excessive in the media though) he knew that he could always call or visit me when needed, which he also did once in a while.
Last time I talked to him was when he called me on March 15th. From what I could understand things were going in the right direction. I also had some very good news for him, which he was very happy to hear about. What happened after that I simply can't understand. And I can't understand WHY he didn't call me (again). So close, so fucking close to get back on track, brother. Why?
You will be missed deeply! May you reign forever and ever in the eternal hellfire. Hail the hordes!"
At the time of his death, Parland was gearing up to record Infernal's new long awaited full length album, The Infernal Retribution, which was due to be out in mid-2013.
