[@jtwc10]

We'll miss you Trevor. You may be gone, but your personally and impact you have on the metal genre shall live on FOREVER. Rest in Peace Trevor Strnad (1981-2022)

I can't even believe he is gone, got to be the lead singer of a band like he always dreamed of. Rest in Power man.

[@darth_vyper]

Rest in Peace my friend, ill never forget when i met you in Michigan at the Intersection, you blew me away with your vox man. Im sorry you felt you had to leave this earth for something better! You were loved

[@jeremybonnifield6440]

This is so crushing. He was so kind, fun, and entertaining. I’m in disbelief...my condolences to everyone around him. RIP Trevor

[@mitchellmahurin3465]

So devastating to hear that you're gone. I was at a show in 2013 and was in the front row, you grabbed me by the hand, threw the horns in my face and started What A Horrible Night to Have a Curse. RIP Man, I'm so fucking bummed you're gone.

"My parents were supportive" damn wish i could say that when trying to make a band back in highschool

[@stormcorrosion176]

seriously. my parents did everything they could to push me away from music

[@adanvelazquez3657]

You shouldn’t have left your parents hinder your dreams

[@xvoltztv2331]

I always wonder how much amazing music we would have if parents supported their children like that

[@thewarrior6784]

@RunningToStandStill my parents were like that too, and today I suffer because of it.

[@scottcirmo1609]

still can't believe he's gone. just stunned.

[@Deftones522]

After today its hard to see the same "happy goofy Trevor" that we grew to love over the years. I see pain

[@blastfiendsunite420]

Same 😞

[@mediumvillain]

he didnt have to always be in pain bc of what happened. How things ended doesnt define his entire life

“I also smoke weed on tour...” Immediately realizes that isn’t a helpful hint

I don't know man. Choking on a toke definitely gives me an edge..... coughing is a great warm up 😂

[@ij_misir1965]

I can’t believe Trevor is gone. it’s incomprehensible to me. We have lost a true legend in our community. You will always be remembered Trevor😔.

[@TonyNguyenFR]

The gold standard in modern death metal vocals. Trevor is so consistent.

[@AustinD1993]

He will live on forever through his music and through these videos.

[@WorldOfGiants]

I dig the gradual "final form metal nerd" transformation that I've seen Trevor undergo over the last decade.

[@metalvox89]

Lmao I've been thinking about that. Been listening to them since high school, I'm 32 now, and I remember him looking like that nerd that you didn't think was in a band but he was well liked by everyone and would go to their shows to support and all that. Now I see him and he looks like that metal nerd that collects vinyl metal records that surprises you with amazing vocals and could outdrink you any day of the week.

[@shaihulud6725]

@@metalvox89 I first saw them right after they put out the 4 song EP, at a tiny knights of Columbus hall, it was amazing. He'd scream with claws out and IIRC he was in a preppy polo of some kind. It was amazing dichotomy at the time

[@AcidxAnarchy]

​@metalvox89 same here beo but u got me beat by a couple years. He is a legend.

[@xXHilliamXx]

Fuck man.. The things other people never seen from such an amazing person.. Trevor, I fucking love you for what you did for me in my earlier years by blessing me with your music. I just cannot wrap my head around you being gone dude...

[@ChrisJones-yu9rz]

🤘🙏

[@90s267]

I hear you. I experience the same pain with Joey Jordison. Much respect 🙏

[@the6ig6adwolf]

Definitely the chillest weed smokin, ricola eating, whiskey garglin frontman in metal.

[@Gauthierbrad27]

True dat

[@coreythiel504]

I work with this dude's aunt, and have a sticker on my bike with a picture of hi that says "Never forget". His contributions to metal, the Michigan metal "scene", and my personal obsession with all things metal are unparalleled. I stood outside a venue when I was 14 listening to them play. So surreal that he is gone.

[@wizardotc87]

Saw them in 2016 with disentomb, he was so kind. There were kids moshing and he said something along the lines of “please keep these kids safe, sorry it’s hot as f*** in here.” So sad. RIP

[@SosaGuwop-e3n]

How good is disentomb, best thing outta AUS

[@vipset87]

the screaming changed so much from the first LP to miasma. this dude some of the very best lyrics in the genre. dudes intelligent af

[@medicinehatofficial1201]

Trevor looks like he could be Jonathan Davis' brother.

[@שמעוןכהן-פ8ג]

HAHA THATS WHAT I ALWAYS SAY :)

[@heatherpaci8871]

I was thinking the same thing! Totally could be JD's brother

[@Daveed1984]

His long lost brother or distant relative. Lol

[@hobojungle1]

Haha, never considered that but I can definitely see it now. And now it can never be unseen....

[@Discoveringbandsbymichaelnagy]

Trevor has some killer screams and awesome to hear how it came to be

[@michaelmoore6686]

Another solo ... fuck yeah!!!!

[@BeatdahnClahn]

I miss this dude so much. My all time favorite vocalist and band. His vocals on Of Darkness Spawned are some of the most insane, non stop, lung capacity vocals I’ve ever heard.

[@LunchBXcrue]

Can't believe my hero and the most inspirational metal head I've ever seen is gone. Best screamer I've ever heard, no one to me stands even close. I'm sure your up their in heaven laughing and getting to meet all the musicians you always wanted too, being the humble and funny guy I've seen from the documentaries. I've listened since unhallowed and because Im an introvert I never went out to see them, though there were other personal reasons but got damnit I regret it so bad now. I need to get out there and see these bands I love before its too late. I hope you know how much the metal world feels your absence. I'll never stop listening to you, and its awesome that us fans get to have a part such a great guy with us always that we can listen to at any time,

[@Palmer_ESG]

Trying to emulate you is how I learned. You were and still are my number 1 influence. I wish you weren't gone. I've never had the chance to be in a band and likely won't due to being where I live but I'm putting alot of effort into youtube covers and even working on a couple songs of my own. I don't think I would've been as passionate about vocals if it wasn't for you Trevor you were so much more important and loved than you knew.🥺 I hope you found the peace you were looking for.

[@dietcoke_zilla334]

I’m loving the juxtaposition between Trevor’s “Butchered at Birth” shirt and that Hello Kitty bass drum to the left...

[@flaccid6pancake]

I didn't even notice lol

[@ga8rielsMsg]

@Danny Dircio but you watch their video and comment on it. Looser.

[@mindful2864]

@Danny Dircio That's only because so many deathcore bands ripped them off over the years. TBDM is more so influenced by melodeath bands like At the Gates and Carcass than anything else.

[@AcidxAnarchy]

It's slightly disturbing to know that what we all thought was just some sick metal lyrics could actually be someone's intrusive thoughts and how they really feel. I never once even considered it no matter how many times I heard similarities in the songs. I thought there's no way this absolute legend would ever go out like that.
