Chris Lindblad, vocalist of defunct down-tempo sludge metal unit Admiral Angry, has passed away following an illness.
Formed in Southern California circa 2004, Admiral Angry put out several records before disbanding in the wake of the untimely death of group mastermind Daniel Krauss.
News of Lindblad's passing comes from former Admiral Angry and current Black Sheep Wall bassist Brandon Gillichbauer, who had this to say:
"It is with a heavy heart that I share, this past Wednesday, November 20th 2024 we learned of the passing of Christopher Patrick Lindblad, beloved son, brother, bandmate, and friend.
"I've always been inspired by Chris; looked up to him, admired him. My first conversation with Chris was on the last day of a middle school trip to Washington. Standing in line for the Alpengeist at Busch Gardens, Chris gave me a compliment, it was the first time we ever spoke to each other. At that moment I remember thinking, "Chris is really cool, why is he talking to me? I really wish he was my friend and that he thought I was cool." 2 years later my wish came true. Chris was the first member of Admiral Angry that Daniel and I recruited and that gave me the opportunity to not only grow an incredible friendship with Chris, but to create art with him as well. I am forever grateful for that opportunity."
To assist with final expenses for Lindblad's family, Black Sheep Wall have issued this t-shirt (featuring artwork from the aforementioned Krauss).
According to Gillichbauer, "This shirt release is done with the blessing of his family and the proceeds from the sales will be used for funeral costs and additional expenses. This will be a three-week open preorder closing December 15th, and shipping in the new year."
