Devastating news about Trånn Ciekals was published by his band, Djevel, today.
He passed on from this world at the age of 47.
I wish all the best to his closest in these heavy times.
He was a monolith within Norwegian black metal, and one of the few who has kept the real flame alive, and protected the underground to this day.
He's been a good influence to me as a musician and as a preserver of the traditional underground. I am sure many others feel the same way.
The attached song is my very first encounter with any of his works.
Even if he's passed from this world, his art will live on forever.
