Ex-Gates of Slumber, Burn It Down bassist dies

Jason McCash, former bass player for Indiapolis, Indiana bands The Gates of Slumber and Burn It Down, passed away yesterday at the age of 37. Additional details have yet to be revealed. The Gates of Slumber frontman Karl Simon had the following to say:

"My best friend died last night. There will be no reunion - no more of TGoS. It's dead beyond dead, and I've lost a brother. Please be respectful or silent. It's a small world and I'm still alive. Remember that shit."

McCash was the father to three young children and donations are being collected on their behalf.
