Martin Eric Ain, photographed during Celtic Frost's final tour, Gelsenkirchen, Germany, June 2006.
I am deeply affected by his passing. Our relationship was very complex and definitely not free of conflicts, but Martin's life and mine were very closely intertwined, since we first met in 1982.

FROM SATYRICON:
Today we mourn the loss of our friend and source of inspiration, Martin Eric Ain. Together with Tom G. Warrior, Martin was the engine of one of the most unique bands in music history, Celtic Frost. He was reflected, gifted, symphatetic and independent. Our thoughts are with his family and with Tom. Thank you for everything you gave us Martin. We will miss you

Very sad to hear about the shocking loss of Martin Eric Ain. Celtic Frost was such a unique band with a tremendous influence, and we had the privilege of touring with them in North America in 2006. This was Sahg's first ever international tour, and we were treated with such friendship and respect by Martin and the rest of the band. It was a milestone in our band's career, and for that we will be forever grateful.
Rest in peace, Martin.
