100 Demons bassist Erik Barrett has died

 

He was not on the list.

Erik Barrett, bassist of Connecticut metalcore band 100 Demons, has passed away. Erik played on the band’s 2004 self-titled sophomore album, and he had also been playing as a current member of the band at recent live shows. Vocalist Peter Morcey broke the sad news, writing:

When I received the news yesterday it felt as if all time came to a standstill. It was the last thing I was expecting to hear, especially just a couple days after losing a mutual friend of ours. I’m posting this to let you all know that Erik Barrett has left this world, and we are all devastated. A true friend, brother and bandmate..gone in the blink of an eye. We had some big things in the works this year my friend. I was so happy you were back in the band playing with us again. I wish I knew what was going on in your head. I know I could have made a difference. You left behind so many people who loved you…..your family, your friends, your girlfriend and bandmates are in shock. I haven’t slept all night bc my mind was flooded with every memory of our history together. We would have done anything and everything for you.

We will always love you Erik

Erik was also a member of the stoner doom band Afghan Haze. Rest in peace, Erik.

100 Demons are scheduled to play For The Children 2024 in LA this December with Gorilla Biscuits, Mindforce, Comeback Kid, Never Ending Game, and more, but no word yet if that will be affected.
