RIP Reüel, we're going to miss you. Thanks for the friendship and the music. All my thoughts are with Debbie and his family.
Reüel started his project Maggot Breeder back in 1984, and I released his debut album Myiasis in 2007. The record starts with the monumental and ever haunting track Passchendaele.
In 2008, we played a bunch of shows together in Canada and the USA. We released records on Government Thirteen (Japan), Anima Mal Nata (The Netherlands), Black And Purple (USA), along with a couple of EPs including one with the Japanese cyberpunk author Kenji Siratori.
