FROM VOMITORY:
We're devastated to know that our brother, Bret Hoffmann, lost his battle against cancer.
We had the honour to get to know this gentleman (and the rest of his band) during a month-long European tour with Malevolent Creation in September/October 2009. We instantly clicked with the whole band and had a killer time on the road together. Bret was a very humble and gentle man, which we all are proud to have known. It clearly comes across in some of the pics from that tour posted below.
Rest in peace, Bret. Only the good die young. Fuck the world.
FROM KRAANIUM:
Another legend gone due to cancer, our thoughs for Brett’s friends and families! Blast some Malevolent Creation today for him.
