I hope that reaction was not something like "I don't care" cos I know you don't like Finntroll, but hey, they're just people who have fun at what they do, they don't deserve this.

No Gorik, I've met Pieter today, and I'm sure he thinks it's a bad & sad thing!
Anyway, I've met Teemu 3 times in the past, and he was such a nice guy, as well as his music!
My girlfriend was is a huge Finntroll fan, and she takes it bad!
RIP "Somnium" - See you on the other side!

Who is actually speculating here?
I think most of us have a huge respect for Somnium!
Is anyone ask how did it happens?
We're just waiting for an official statement...
It's the worst think happened to metal since Chuck Chuldiner's death!

Who is actually speculating here?

I didn't speculate, I wrote something I heard of someone close to Impaled Nazarene. It was wrong to write it.. It makes no difference what happened, it doesn't change anything.

I saw "The Hours" a week ago. There Virginia Woolf said that someone in her book has got to die for it's the only way for the other characters to realize how much life is worth.

Now it's official on the website

It was written there since Sunday morning allready...
I met Somnium at the X-Mass festival. We were both a bit drunk and so babbling some nonsense *g*. He was really funny and also a nice guy then. When I heard about it I didn't realize whom they're writing about because (to be honest) I had no idea that he was playing with Finntroll too. When I looked at the pics on the Impaled Nazarene site I was pretty shocked

. Remembering the evening and this funny Finn and thinking about what happened makes everything else so worthless. You realize how it makes no difference what you do but still how important is to use the time you have.

i hope he will find peace out there...
