A good friend of ours who took the pictures that are on the inside sleeve of "The Rising Anger", has gone missing along with his wife, in the southern regions of Utah. Everyone from Utah knows what area it is, and in this time of year, it can be very beautiful, but at the same time extremely dangerous if a storm rolls through. For miles, there is nothing but a road and miles wilderness….

Thomas would be at every show we played, wearing our T-shirts, and would even be other bands shows flying the Katagory V flag on his chest. He, his wife and daughter are some of our biggest fans here in Utah, and I really don't know if I can accept the fact that something terrible has happened to them. I am praying for the best, but I don't know how I feel if things don't come out well… It won't be the same if we never see him at a live show again. I don't know how I am going to deal with that.
 
This is really terrible. Tom and Tamitha are great people and one of Katagory V's biggest supporters. He is also a huge support for local metal in general - I certainly hope they are found in good shape.
 
At this moment, they are still searching for them... it has been five days since they last had contact with them, and with the remoteness of the area, and the below-freezing temuratures, it is doubtful that they might be found alive. All we can do now is hope and pray.

here is a copy of the email that Tam's brother sent out yetserday explaining the situation in detail -
