Former MORBID ANGEL and HATE ETERNAL bassist JARED ANDERSON died in his sleep 10/14/2006.
Said Jared's girlfriend Nicole, "[On] Saturday, October 14, 2006, we went to sleep together and I couldn't wake him up. The reasons are unknown."
JARED ANDERSON performed bass duties and vocals in MORBID ANGEL, HATE ETERNAL and INTERNECINE.
ITP EDITORS NOTE:
BTW, Morbid Angel's original vocalist was Dave Vincent whom recently returned for touring duties (also in the Genitorturers with his wife Gen) as Steve Tucker replaced Dave Vincent in Morbid Angel. When Steve Tucker left Morbid Angel, in came Jared Anderson, as he did a great job as the touring bassist/vocalist in Morbid Angel and Hate Eternal... Jared Anderson stepped down from vocal/bass duties in both Morbid Angel and Hate Eternal as Anderson suffered from substance abuse issues... Jared Anderson also was the bassist of his own project INTERNECINE and was working on a project with Ex Morbid Angel vocalist/ bassist Steve Tucker prior to Anderson's death.
I would like to add that Jared Anderson and ALL the guys in Morbid Angel AND Hate Eternal are great guys, very friendly and personable with the fans, and a brutal treat to see live... Jared Anderson was a great guy and all the local bands, touring musicians and fans alike felt very secure with Jared... I'll never forget Morbid Angel skinsman Pete Sandoval throwing me his drum stick when Morbid Angel toured with Motorhead in 2002.
Jared Anderson died peacefully in his sleep nine days ago.. RIP metal brother Jared Anderson..
Thanks-Tee-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal, Stay Alive \m/ -l-

EARACHE RECORDS Comments On JARED ANDERSON'sPassing - Oct. 20, 2006
Earache Records has issued a statement expressing its condolences to the family and friends of former MORBID ANGEL/HATE ETERNAL bassist/vocalist Jared Anderson, who passed away last weekend.
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 U.K. 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."

FROM EX MORBID ANGEL VOCALIST/BASSIST STEVE TUCKER Ex-MORBID ANGEL Frontman: JARED ANDERSON Was 'One Of Most Likeable People On This Planet'
FROM MORBID ANGEL bassist/vocalist Steve Tucker:
"I would like to say to anyone reading this that at this time my heart is broken. My very dear friend Jared Anderson passed away and I feel as though I can't quite come to grips with the reality of it. It has affected me in ways that I cannot explain. All that I can truly say is good friends are hard to comeby, and when you have one it is something very special every bit as special as falling in love. It is something that is more than great; it is brilliant to have a friend that makes you laugh and you enjoy the company of just being around them.
"There are lots of different kinds of so-called soulmates in the world, and I have always believed that good friends are soulmates. It is deeper than just companionship, or mutual interest. There are some people that you just feel you have known for eternity, and these to me are soulmates. I just lost one, and it feels devastating! Not that I want anyone to feel pity for me at all I am just putting it in writing, hoping it will help me in some way and possibly let the world or anyone that reads this know that the world has just lost someone very special.
"To know Jared was brilliant! He had to be one of the funniest, most likeable people on this planet. If you knew him, then you know as well; if you didn't, then it is a shame you never had a laugh with him.
"30 years old and gone! I can't comprehend it, can't accept it, but I have to.
"I am sorry for the world to have this loss!! If only I could talk to him one more time, what would I say? Would I say that it was great to know him, and a shame for him to go? Or would I just have a laugh with him and leave it at that? I really can't say, and I can't have that talk!!
"Jared, you were my brother and I loved you like you can only love a great friend. I will miss you for as long as I'm on this planet. I'm sorry you had to go, but I hope you're better, my friend!"

Body: Florida-based death metallers DIABOLIC have issued the following update:
"Just got a call from Jerry Mortellaro [ex-DIABOLIC guitarist] tonight letting us know that Bryan Hipp, ex-DIABOLIC guitarist, died last night [Saturday, Oct. 21]. Cause of death unknown.
"Bryan Hipp helped write songs off the DIABOLIC album 'Subterranal Magnitude' and helped DIABOLIC complete the 'Death Metal Massacre' Metal Maniacs tour 2000, opening for CANNIBAL CORPSE, GOD DETHRONED and HATE ETERNAL.
"We are posting the song 'Infernalism' Bryan Hipp wrote back in 1999. Bryan Hipp also played in BRUTALITY, CRADLE OF FILTH, and in BLASTMASTERS he helped write the song 'Implemented Digital Control'!!! On stage Bryan Hipp would explode with raging headspins. His talent to create some of the most dark and evil riffs will be missed."
