Unearth - Original Bass Player Dies In Scooter Crash


In case you haven't heard, last week original Unearth bass player Chris "Rover" Rybicki passed away. He lost his life from injuries sustained four weeks ago at the hands of an alleged drunk driver. The article reporting the incident can be read here.

Added the band: "Rover hadn't been in Unearth since 2001, but he remained a good friend to us all throughout the years and this tragedy has hit us hard.

Not only was Rover a talented musician, but he was also one of the funniest dudes you would ever know. His wit, dark humor and don't give a fuck attitude made him a unique person that we all loved having in our lives. His memory will live on amongst his family and friends with the countless stories of Rover being Rover. He will be sorely and forever missed.

Rover played on our our EP Above the Fall of Man, our debut full length The Stings of Conscience and also on two tracks off our 2002 EP Endless. We would like to take a second to urge people to not drink and drive. Please be responsible so these tragedies stop happening."

@Carl Berg: I totally agree with you, man. Damn, that's a tragedy caused by an absurd accident! Honestly, I haven't heard about this guy before but may he rest in peace, anyway...

It's a fucking grim year!

Can't say I'm a fan of Unearth (I haven't heard their music in a while, I stopped after not being interested in various songs by them), but damn, bad news. R.I.P.

Didn't the exact same thing happen to the bassist of 3 Inches of Blood?

But yeah, I haven't heard the bands music, but this is sad to hear.

Musicians keep dying from a lot of stupid things, especially at the hands of others and at the hands of themselves...carelessness takes the lives of so many...I wasn't a big fan of Unearth but this kind of news is still saddening and angering...RIP!
