EARACHE RECORDS Comments On JARED ANDERSON's Passing

October 20, 2006

Earache Records has issued a statement expressing its condolences to the family and friends of former MORBID ANGEL/HATE ETERNAL bassist/vocalist Jared Anderson, who passed away last weekend.

Jared made a lasting impression on the Earache catalogue with his contribution to the HATE ETERNAL album "King of All Kings" as well as his masterful live performances with the band, a feat he was to repeat with equal class when fronting MORBID ANGEL after the departure of Steve Tucker.

Earache label manager Dan Tobin commented on Anderson's passing: 'I think Erik Rutan has pretty much said it all when it comes to expressing the regret and shock at Jared's passing. I only met the guy a couple of times when he came through the U.K. with MORBID ANGEL, but he struck me as a thoughtful and dedicated musician who was able to take on the challenges presented to him by both HATE ETERNAL and MORBID ANGEL. Particularly with MORBID ANGEL, he won over fans with his wholehearted commitment to the music and also the fans of the music. The response from the fans to the news of his death only goes to prove the positive impression he made on people."

As previously reported, Anderson died in his sleep on Saturday, October 14 at the age of 30. The cause of his death has not yet been released.

Funeral services for Jared Anderson were held yesterday (Thursday, October 19) at the Funeral Home. Interment Pierce Township Cemetery in Ohio.

Jared Anderson was most recently working on a project which was known by its alias AS ONE...

Back in February 2006, former MORBID ANGEL bassist/vocalist Steve Tucker confirmed to BLABBERMOUTH.NET that he and Anderson were collaborating on new material in the "death metal" vein.
