FROM HECATE ENTHRONED: 

 

With the deepest of regrets, we have the hardest time to let you know that Marc, our original guitarist (“An Ode to A Haunted Wood”, “Upon Promeathean Shores”, “The Slaughter of Innocence”) has sadly passed away.

Nige formed Amethyst with Marc which started their musical adventure way back around 1992, which was a precursor to Daemonum, as you know, later became Hecate Enthroned.

Marc had no ego. He was a true, genuine friend and one that people could relax around and be able to be yourself – an important trait in a band.

He had a raw passion for music and especially his guitar playing which was based on the “feel” of the music and a fine pairing for Nige as they were very similar often pre-empting each other’s riffs . The band experienced pivotal musical moments with Marc and together formed a forever bond – the witnessing of the, then, new wave of Black Metal and living that lifestyle.

We are eternally saddened by the passing of our metal brother… Until we meet again.

“…Drink deep, in the promises of Midnight.”

 

 

FROM HEATHEN DEITY: 

 

I was saddened today to hear of the passing of Marc from early

Hecate Enthroned

.

Even though I never had the honour of meeting him, his work and of course all the band back then in the "Promeathean shores " era Inspired me to start Heathen Deity. In my very short stint at being thier vocalist back in 2004, I did get the chance to perform " The Crimson Thorns" live with the band. This still remains one of my most treasured memories from my musical journey so far.

"Upon Promeathean Shores" still remains one of my absolute favourite releases by Hecate, and is still one of the best UK Black Metal releases of all time in my eyes..

All our best to the band and Marc's family..

Hails!

Dagon.
