I remember reading that Zeebs was an upper class guy who had to hide his own identity.

Bob Rusay - Cannibal Corpse


That's exactly where my mind went to along with Muhammad from Necrophagist. The rest of the band fired Rusay because he couldn't keep up with the rest of them as a musician, he took it very badly and personally, and quit music forever. He disappeared from the universe for over a decade until someone stumbled across the website for the golf course he taught at.

The mystery of Sanjiv and Hat have been answered, so no need to bring them up again.

To a much lesser extent, I'm wondering whatever happened to the other members of Edge of Sanity? For such a well-known extreme metal band, they have both famous and totally unknown members in one group. Dan Swano of course is a legend, and Roberth Karlsson has been in Scar Symmetry for over a decade. Dread has Tormented and other projects since (and reconciled with Swano from a picture I saw on facebook once), but what about guys like Sami Nerberg and Anders Lindberg? They completely went into total obscurity. Dan himself was not especially kind to the creative working relationship within the band (something echoed by the other members), and tensions by 1996/1997 were through the roof. They never played in any band ever again and have never resurfaced...

That is until I looked it up. Apparently, Dan himself made a post back in 2009 linking an article that details what happened to Sami (who according to Dread came up with the band name). By 1999, he became a homeless drug addict and spent the next decade like that (the note about him having personal problems and unable to record EoS' Infernal might be hinting at what was to come). And he did in fact play in other bands despite them not being listed on MA. By 2009 it seems like he got his life back in order. Nothing since.

The bassist, Anders Lindberg, is a mystery. I can't find anything on him. Zero. That guy totally vanished.

No cause of death but read this article and let's just say lifestyle choices might have had something to do with it unfortunately.

If I remember correctly, I think that after his 2014 arrest he got sober enough to work in IT or something similar.

My last memory of Richard was reading in some forum about what happened to him (I think it was MBB, idk) and some of the dudes in the board label him "insane" due to one of his interviews having him talki about how much he LOVED Lady Gaga like she was the 2nd coming of Bowie or somethin.

Also, anyone remember Alex Auburn? Played rhythm guitar and did backing vocals for Cryptopsy for the entire 2000s then left metal all together.

I always wondered what became of the infamous Capricornus (ex Graveland/Infernum/Thor's Hammer/Capricornus). He apparently pulled out of the metal scene because of drug related problems, but I can easily imagine his harsh NS stance making him enemies as well, and perhaps retreating into obscurity for that reason.

Rick Miah, the original drummer for My Dying Bride, left the band in 1997 and pretty much disappeared from the universe. No one in the band's ever said anything about him after, I don't think he's been involved in any band retrospectives, and while Metallum says he played in another band after he left MDB, it also says he never recorded anything with them and then left in 2000, so it's like he was never in the band in the first place. The only thing to give any indication about what became of him is this interview with him from some ancient website that makes the distinction that Miah died in 1997, but there's nothing else on the entire internet to corroborate that claim, therefore it possibly isn't true. For all we know, he's still alive somewhere, away from music forever.

Looking into the Internet Archive, My Dying Bride's bio on MySpace said that Rick contracted a debilitating illness, but that may be a bit of a cover for the real story. A few archived interviews mention him:

The only problem then was Rick Miah's illness after finishing our US tour. Rick wanted to leave the band because the whole circus of touring, writing and recording became too stressful for him.

This one might reveal a bit more, mentioning he wanted more money and tried to blackmail the band:

Great drummer actually. Really busy for a doom metal drummer. That put them ages ahead of the genre they helped create.

It’s only been a few years but does anyone know what’s happened to Jef Whitehead (Wrest of Leviathan)? Last I heard he had an album ready to go called ‘Die to This’ I think.

Is it known what he's up to these days? IIRC he had to clarify that the Judas Iscariot pressings by Blake Judd from several years ago were bootlegs or something but that's about it.

It is not really a secret that Jef is notoriously reclusive. When he was interviewed for that OMM documentary, the interview says that he was kind of hard to track down because Jef does not even have a computer or even email.

He has Instagram so I don't think that's the case anymore. He does tattoos and artwork and seems to be doing fine. Probably does way more money than selling records. He had a a new album coming but since he parted ways with Devout Records/Stevie Floyd he's been quiet.

I am not sure if it was Snake of Von who left music then join the army. I also remember one guy from Eluveitie that did not show up at the airport during one of their tour in the mid 2000 . They couldnt find the guy and no notice from him.

Satyricon founding member Wargod supposedly left music to become a UN peacekeeping soldier. He hasn't vanished though as his name shows up on LinkedIn & Facebook.

Fenriz and N.C. give different accounts in many interview, from him being "too grim and kvlt" to be with civilization, to him moving too far away, to him being an alcoholic etc etc. They even hinted at him returning in the 00s, so it seems he's alive at the very least.


He's still alive and he's still in contact with the boys from Darkthrone.


Is there something about this somewhere?

Mike Smith ex- Savage Grace :

He quit singing for the band in 1985 due to probably the stress worldwide touring would bring him. Insecurities. I don't think he plays music anymore. I remember a comedy video of him uploaded almost recently on youtube getting "punched" in the throat. Not seriously of course, it was just a joke made by a couple of friends. I don't remember the title, don't ask me.

Masanori "Wood" Haruta from the Japanese black metal bands Gnome and Hurusoma. After recording some material in the late 90s and early 00s, he disappeared and there's not much known about him. I read in some other forum years ago that he moved away from Japan and I guess he stopped making music due to lack of interest which is a real shame because his music was really awesome! :(

Another awesome Japanese band that disappeared very quickly is Misogi. A couple of my good friends were in contact with the main musician named Touko over a decade ago, but they also told me that they lost contact and the band supposedly disappeared.

Interestingly enough a couple months back I was watching a random My Dying Bride live video from Youtube and in the comments saw Rick Miah commenting on the gig. The latest comments are only 3 weeks old. Of course there's a very big possibility that it's a fake account, but it seems legit.

Another drummer, favourite of mine, Dave Culross (Malevolent Creation/Suffocation/Hateplow) has disappeared from the scene, apparently without a reasonable explanation. His son, on the youtube channel, said - "he just wanted to quit"). I wish I would have had 1/3 of his storming abilities.

Doug's around and shows up for hangs, the explanation Frank Mullen gave onstage a while back is that he has arthritis issues and can't handle being in a touring band any more. I don't know how true that is, but it seems plausible enough. Dave's also around, he's just living in Texas and is done with music - dude had some serious life issues going on in NY and I think he also was just kind of sick of music. Mike's also around and I think he kinda made up with Hobbs, but he also doesn't really seem to want to do anything major musically.

Not metal, but many metal fans were into the 80s band, White Lion, simply for guitarist Vito Bratta. He was an incredible talent but walked away from music after the band broke up around 1992.

I'm actually friends with David's mom, Esther, on FB. We've chatted several times, but I don't have the heart (or the business) to ask her for details about her son's death. She's a very sweet lady, and we've had some good talks about the positive impact David's music and lyrics have made on me, her, and others. What a loss.

If you heard he's working for BMW he hasn't disappeared lol.

Zeeb Parks of Witchfinder General is another person who was disappeared entirely. I've heard that his name is not even his real name as well.

And there is the Los Legion Noires, some have speculated that a few of them committed suicide, but for the most part, have vanished.


What happened to Chris "Congo" Campbell, a black drummer who played in an early incarnation of Priest? I was recently skimming through my copy of the Priest biography Heavy Duty from the mid-1980s and came across him.

Fair point, but I didn't hear that he was working at BMW until very recently. He basically dropped off the face of the Earth for about a decade before word got out about what he was up to nowadays.

Thomas Miller (original bassist of Symphony X) has been off the grid more or less since he left the band. Michael Romeo himself has said that he's not sure exactly why he left, but mentioned that fear of touring, sickness, and religion were potential reasons. Since then though, other than a demo with Thunder Majesty there's been no word from him. 'Tis a shame because he was a terrific player and co-wrote a lot of great SX songs.

What happened to the original singer of Astarte? Kinthia was her name, she was great. Surely some greek metal fans here know what happened to her, tristessa took over the band for the last two albums but Kinthia has just vanished..

To be clear there is a difference between musicians who literally vanish- as in, mysteriously disappear from the planet, and those who simply drop out of the music scene and out of public sight.

I think there are countless examples of the latter, people who simply give up on the idea of playing in bands and quit doing music altogether. Priorities change, people get their families and stuff, they need to raise a family and keep a professional career going and they no longer have the time to give to being in a band, even as a part-time hobby. I suspect this is probably the case for most of the people mentioned here, plus countless others. And if they were only known by an assumed identity back in their metal-band days, (e.g. Vlad Draksteim, Capricoruns, Zeeb Parks) then it may be impossible for anyone to determine "where are they now" since few people, if any, would even know their real/current name. Honestly, most of these guys probably have boring office jobs and are living in some suburb somewhere married with two or three kids.

The ones that are part of actual documented mysterious disappearances, like the Loverboy guy who got lost at sea, those are the interesting stories.

Another awesome Japanese band that disappeared very quickly is Misogi. A couple of my good friends were in contact with the main musician named Touko over a decade ago, but they also told me that they lost contact and the band supposedly disappeared.

I was in contact with Touko (and Hellha.. er, Yomituti) as well, and even interviewed them both (separately) for a zine I worked with at the time. If I recall, Misogi first split in 2002 when the drummer left) so maybe Yomi split.

Speaking of Yomituti, check out Quest for Blood if you haven't. They also disappeared, their sole release was released in 2008. I remember Yomituti telling me they had more planned. I hope they all just got busy with life.

The Mortes Saltantes (pre-Magane) demo collection that Yomituti wanted to find a label to release came out in 2013. That's the last I know of either of those guys. I wonder if I still have their email addresses...
