This one really stings. Not that all deaths in the metal community don’t. But he was so young, very much on the up-and-up, one of metal’s most powerful rising forces, a positively captivating frontman, and by all accounts an extremely kind and fun individual. It was way too soon and, frankly, we’re reeling.

So too is the rest of the metal community, if our social media feeds are any indication. Here’s a collection of reactions from well-known metal musicians and personalities to the extremely untimely death of Power Trip frontman Riley Gale, who it was revealed last night passed away on August 24 of undisclosed causes.
