R.I.P. Jared Anderson MORBID ANGEL/HATE ETERNAL

Earache Records would like to express its condolences to the family and friends of Jared Anderson who passed away on October 14.

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 UK 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.'
