Post Commenti will ceremoniously not listen to any of his bands today. RIP
Damn, that sucks. Usurper was one of those records that stood above its contemporaries. Always wondered what that follow up would've sounded like had it come to fruition. RIP Jayson.

Saw these dudes on tour with Gaza and I think very early Carnifex. Was maybe 7 people there on a Tuesday night. Someone stole an office chair from the back and was being spun around the 'pit' by their legs. Everyone played like it was a packed show, one of my favorite memories.
Think of the family. Turn off the comments!!
Rumor is he Killed himself. Someone on facebook made a tribute post to him & closed it with, Mental Health is no joke.

saw handshake with year of desolation and ligeia. all these bands ruled live. bummer news. RIP
"Think of the family. Turn off the comments!!" Lambgoat cares more about clicks than that come on, wonder how many people have offed themselves from shit on this site.
Yes, I remember when Lambgoat broke into my house and made me read the comment section.
Saw Handshake Murders open for Norma Jean in 2006. Great dudes and great music. He will be missed. RIP bro
I remember both bands and am pretty sure I knew this dude. Sad that he has passed. Would really like to know what happened. Hope it wasn't from the vaxx. Lots of young people have been dying everywhere I look from the vaxx. Anyways, I was down in Shreveport and would travel up to Texarkana for shows with some of the locals bands like Crackfight and American Tragedy. I ran a record label called counterintelligence recordings with bands mainly from LA and TX. But yeah, I am certain I know this guy personally from that time period. I will have to go look it up and check for pics to refresh the ol' memory. - Kevin Counter
If you watched the recent interview with Dino from Dystopia, he also sounds like he's going to kill himself.
