It's with great sadness that we give our condolences to the family and friends of Peter Steele. He died on April 14th, 2010.

"SPV/Steamhammer proudly released both products worldwide, which will now — very unfortunately — be the end of his recording legacy.

"The world has lost a charismatic frontman and a very talented person.

"Our condolences go to Peter's family, friends and the members of his bands."
