FROM FAAL:
With a sad and heavy heart we inform you of the passing of our friend and bandmate William Nijhof. His death was sudden and unexpected and it has left a hole in our lives.
William joined Faal in 2009 as our frontman. His vocals added the doom and brutality that we needed for our sound and we are extremely proud to have shared the stage with him.
On behalf of his family, we thank you for your condolences; they will be passed on to his family. If you have any pictures you’d like
to share, you can email these to catiauiterwijkwinkel@hotmail.com.
Thank you all for your support throughout the years. William was well-known and loved by many, so let’s raise a glass (or 2) in his memory.
If you’d like to share a memory or some kind words, you can leave them in an online condolence register which we'll share later.
Moira, Vic, Bart, Gerben, and Cátia.
FROM SATURNUS:

Rest In Peace, William. Sending our condolences and love to the family

support and all those years of dedication to music.

FROM MY SILENT WAKE:
Less than a month ago our friend William Nijhof was sharing the sad news about the death of Mike Hitchen and a few days ago we found out that he has also passed away. This has now been announced. This has been a shock once again due to the sudden nature of his passing and we would like to extend our sincere condolences and love to all those close to him.
William played in various bands including the doom band Faal and he booked us to play at Little Devil in Tilburg on various occasions. We always had fun with William and he was always happy to see us. We will miss these meetings with him.
With love
Ian and MSW
Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-R.I.P.
