ITP V.018 ONLY ONE PER COFFIN: R.I.P. CARSTEN OTTERBACH (GUITARIST MORGOTH)

CARSTEN OTTERBACH, former guitarist for German death metal warriors MORGOTH passed away 12/2/2018 to Multiple Sclerosis.
CARSTEN OTTERBACH managed many metal bands.
















FROM MORGOTH:
Today we received the devastating message that Carsten Otterbach passed away. Without Carsten MORGOTH simply would not have existed.
He was founding member, motor, pilot, musician and manager. Carsten opened doors for the band that would have stayed locked without him.
He was a fighter and never surrendered. Although to surrender was not an option he sadly had to give up his final battle against a malicious disease he suffered from for more than a decade.
He will remain in our memories as a friend and in our hearts as our brother.
We miss you!
RĂ¼diger, Marc, Harry, Sebastian
