Selim Lemouchi (The Devil’s Blood) verstorben

Bislang fehlt jede offizielle Bestätigung, weshalb die Meldung noch als Gerücht gehandelt werden muss – dennoch gibt es vermehrte Hinweise darauf, dass der Bandleader der mittlerweile aufgelösten THE DEVIL’S BLOOD verstorben ist.

Auslöser der Gerüchtewelle, die mittlerweile durch das Internet rollt, war ein Facebook-Post von Primordial-Fronter Alan Averill, der auf seiner privaten Facebook-Seite folgenden Kommentar gepostet haben soll:
„Just heard some sad and devastating news….a force of nature has left this mortal coil. Hope u find some peace on another plane Selim….“

Mittlerweile haben sich auch Urfaust zu Wort gemeldet und neben einem TDB-Song dieses knappe Statement gepostet:
„Safe travels Brother! RIP“

Ghost kommentieren ebenfalls:
„Children of the World! We want to pay homage to our friend Selim Lemouchi (The Devil’s Blood and his own Selim Lemouchi & His Enemies) who has passed away and left the world one great talent poorer. R.I.P.“

Aktualisierung:

Wie das niederländische Magazin 3voor12 berichtet, hat Bidi van Drongelen, langjährige Managerin von THE DEVIL’S BLOOD, die Gerüchte über den Tod von Selim Lemouchi, Bandleader der mittlerweile aufgelösten THE DEVIL’S BLOOD, mittlerweile bestätigt. Über die Todesursache gibt es unterdessen noch keine weiteren Angaben.

Selim hatte zuletzt mit einigen kryptischen Facebook-Posts auf seiner Seite für Verwirrung gesorgt:

„It takes bravery. The deepest bullets are not to be feared; phosphorous napalm or nothing to be feared, but to look inward to see that twisted mind that lies beneath the surface of all humans and to say yes I accept you, I even love you because you are a part of me, you are an extension of me…“ (19.02.14, 10:15)

„A legion of horribles, hundreds in number, half naked or clad in costumes attic or biblical or wardrobed out of a fevered dream with the skins of animals and silk finery and pieces of uniform still tracked with the blood of prior owners, coats of slain dragoons, frogged and braided cavalry jackets, one in a stovepipe hat and one with an umbrella and one in white stockings and a bloodstained wedding veil and some in headgear or cranefeathers or rawhide helmets that bore the horns of bull or buffalo and one in a pigeontailed coat worn backwards and otherwise naked and one in the armor of a Spanish conquistador, the breastplate and pauldrons deeply dented with old blows of mace or sabre done in another country by men whose very bones were dust and many with their braids spliced up with the hair of other beasts until they trailed upon the ground and their horses‘ ears and tails worked with bits of brightly colored cloth and one whose horse’s whole head was painted crimson red and all the horsemen’s faces gaudy and grotesque with daubings like a company of mounted clowns, death hilarious, all howling in a barbarous tongue and riding down upon them like a horde from a hell more horrible yet than the brimstone land of Christian reckoning, screeching and yammering and clothed in smoke like those vaporous beings in regions beyond right knowing where the eye wanders and the lip jerks and drools“ (19.02.14, 10:21)

R.i.P. Selim!
