R.I.P. Tomas (Tompa) Lindberg
(October 16, 1972 – September 16, 2025)
His music career in bands like At The Gates, Disfear, Skitsystem, Grotesque, The Great Deceiver, Lock Up, and as the artist who designed the infamous Darkthrone logo, has left such a HUGE impact on my life. His passing has left a huge hole in the metal and punk world. I didn't personally know him, so my relationship with him may only be a parasocial one, but MAN this SUCKS. (Tomas is pictured on the left with Jake Bannon of Converge who has also left a comparable impact on my life.)
