Brad Raub, bassist for Sumerlands, Eternal Champion, and War Hungry (and live bassist for Stone Dagger), has sadly passed away at 36 years old. We wish Raub's friends and family all the best during this difficult time. The following is a statement from Sumerlands.
"We are devastated to report that yesterday our brother, our bassist, our best friend, Brad Raub has passed on. He was 36 years young.
"Brad was well read, fucking hilarious, a true sweetheart, a great listener, a deadly sharp bassist, a legendary napper, and a man who loved his family and friends til his last moment.
"A true example of a person whom to know was to love, and his friendship, mirth, his kindness and a thousand other qualities will be missed beyond what words can convey. Nothing can repair the void left in our lives right now but we are accepting love and good vibes. If you smoke then smoke one for our man, if you drink then drink one for our man. We love you Bad Brad. See you on the other side."
