Original DEVOURMENT Vocalist WAYNE KNUPP Passes Away - Sep. 15, 2007Original DEVOURMENT vocalist Wayne Knupp passed away earlier today due to multiple organ failure that was caused by years of alcohol abuse. His girlfriend Jessica Gant has released the following statement to BLABBERMOUTH.NET: "First of all, I want to say thank you to everybody who has sent kind words. They are very much appreciated and I told Wayne about everybody who sent him messages. "Unfortunately the rumors you all heard are true and our dear friend Wayne Knupp has passed away today (September 15) at 2:15 p.m. due to multiple organ failure that was caused by years of alcohol abuse. Wayne spent 2 ½ weeks in the hospital with a lot of people fighting for him. His family and friends played a big role in supporting him during this difficult time. "As you all know, Wayne was a major supporter and contributor to the death metal scene for most of his life. He remained loyal to his fans and always stayed brutal till the end. Just yesterday he was throwing up the horns! He never turned anybody away and would give the shirt off his back to help if he could. "Just to let you all know, he did pass away very peacefully with his close family and friends around his bedside. I held his hand as he took his last breath, and the last thing he heard was that we were all there and he wasn't alone. "For those of you that could not be there the last couple weeks, do not feel any remorse because he knew you all were thinking of him and that is what kept him fighting 'till the very end. "For any of you, who have thought about starting a fund or having a benefit, please contact me before anything takes place. It is his family's request that nothing take place without their consent. I will keep you all posted about a memorial service for Wayne that will be held up by Chicago in the near future. "Thank you all for your love and support. It's very comforting in a time like this."

I heard that he was sick. I had a feeling he was going to die. I never cared for Devourment, and this guy brought his death upon himself. He never had to touch alcohol....

I didn't find out until yesterday, actually. He did bring it upon himself, but still, I think he was like, 31? That's really bad and I'm bummed about it. He did have one of the most powerful voices and I've never heard anyone who can make an inhale as brutal as he did.

I'm not into brutal death all that much.

Parents group protests goth/punk act Schoolyard HeroesFemale-fronted goth/punk act Schoolyard Heroes ( myspace)has found itself on the receiving end of criticism after a collection of concerned parents reviewed the band's website, which "horrified" them with "blood curdling lyrics" and song glorifying "death, dismemberment, murder, suicide." The parents have started a petition which says, without a touch of irony: We are a group of upset parents who are trying to stop a tragedy before it begins, and that tragedy is Schoolyard Heroes. It has been brought to our attention that there is a cult of young children, ONLY 13 YEARS OLD in some cases, following this band around and running away from home. This must be stopped.
They are evil! They want to corrupt our children and drive them to murder with their fascination with the dark and evil world of Satan. The letter goes on to describe the band as "evil" and "Satanists" and makes reference to the Columbine Massacre, finally concluding that the band members are "satanic priests" who "want to kill your children." The band responded: The letter's a perfect example of why he [the author] shouldn't be writing a letter but sitting down and understanding his kids and understanding why they're listening to this kind of music. We as a band offer kids somewhere to go and do something positive. While some kids are out getting drunk and getting high, they can come down to a Schoolyard Heroes show and shake their ass!" The band released Abominations earlier this year.
