Steve Kille of the highly-influential stoner rock band Dead Meadow has passed away. Dead Meadow revealed the sad news on their Instagram, saying Kille passed away earlier this morning. We wish Kille's friends and family all the best at this time.
"It is with the absolutely heaviest of hearts that we have to announce our beloved brother, bandmate, amazing and utterly unique bass player, and gifted artist Steve Kille passed away at 12 am last night," wrote Dead Meadow.
"Writing, recording, performing music with Steve felt as fresh; inspiring, and as important as it did 27 years ago when we first started playing together. We don't know what words could express this level of loss."
Dead Meadow has eight albums under their belt alongside a handful of live recordings. Their most recent effort was Force Form Free on Blues Funeral Recordings, which I strongly urge you to check out right here. Kille's playing is largely front and center, and it's fantastic.
