Rest In Peace LG Petrov. What a legend & and a powerful voice. Inspiration to countless bands & singers. A true game changer. One of the first bands to take us on tour for which I am still grateful for. Someone you always looked forward to seeing. You will be sorely missed. pic.twitter.com/kHnhDiBzRb— Jamey Jasta (@simswapperamij) March 8, 2021

RIP to Lars Göran Petrov of #entombed Like many metal heads my age, I discovered the band on MTV’s Headbanger’s Ball in the 90s and was an immediate fan. God Forbid had the good fortune to play with them in 2006 at a festival in Denmark. A legend gone too soon ???? pic.twitter.com/N2NvEhD4Y3— Doc Coyle (@DocCoyle) March 9, 2021

The word legend is to small to describe LG and what he meant for me as a friend and inspiration.
Not only was he one of the best and original voices in metal, but the most kind, humble, funny and genuine person one could ever hope to meet.

I will miss you my friend!

RIP LG Petrov, death metal forefather. I love Entombed (obviously) and I’m sure a lot of people will be sharing his work with them today so I’ll share his more recent crushing band Firespawn: https://t.co/1CjzX6dqGg— Nighted Throne (@NightedThrone) March 8, 2021

We were extremely sad to learn that LG Petrov, the singer of Entombed A.D., has lost the battle to cancer. This is how we choose to remember him: on stage, sweaty and with a smile on his face. Thank you, brother, you truly made Sweden rock. One last, big cheers for the road! ???????? pic.twitter.com/YWaWcEckK5— HammerFall (@HammerFall) March 8, 2021

L-G Petrov was the most passionate force in our world of metal. His sepulchral growl and huge personality was a big inspiration on me growing up and having shared many stages and many more beers over the years has been an absolute privilege. #fuckcancer #lgpetrov #entombed pic.twitter.com/duIC7FD0XC— Mikael Stanne (@MiklStne) March 8, 2021
