Sven Gross of Fleshcrawl and Burial Remains dead

German death metal band Fleshcrawl long-time vocalist Sven Gross passed away on June 11th, 2021. He lost his battle against cancer. He was born in August 1976, so he was 44 years old when passing away.

The band's drummer Bastian Herzog published the following:

"Svenson,

It is hard to find the right words in situations like this one. Probably even impossible. For me personally this really is a hard thing to get over...

We knew each other for more than 25 years. Haven't been many days during this period where we did not spend time together talking, writing, discussing, partying, drinking, BBQ-ing, making plans, playing shows, rehearsing, travelling, waiting in countless backstages or whatever...

You gonna leave a big gap right here in my 🖤 which cannot be filled anymore...

Thank you for having been a real friend, one of the most precious human beings this planet had to offer and of course a really awesome and iconic frontman, band mate and hell of a vocalist of FC!
I truly enjoyed each and every second watching you go berserk on stage as a real warrior of death while I was beating the shit out of all those drumkits behind you!

Thank you for the great ride!

You always lived life to the max, keep on doing it whereever you are now!

We'll rock on again together on the other side - someday.

And I'll make sure to bring some Wasseralfinger 😋
My deepest condolences go out to Sven's wife Dany and both of their families.

Basti"

Sven Gross joined Fleshcrawl in 1997. Fleshcrawl's 'Into the Catacombs of Flesh' and Burial Remains' 'Trinity of Deception' were the last albums he recorded (both released in 2019). Sven was also the vocalist for Carnal Ghoul.

Burial Remains posted the following message:

"Sometimes words can't express feelings, but still we give it a try. The passing of Sven Gross hit us hard this weekend. Of course he did the vocals on our debut cd, but more important he was a friend and one of the nicest persons you can think of. Memories of all the times we met and had a beer and all the fun will remain. The death metal scene lost another legend... You will be missed Svenson!
Our condolences go out to his wife Dany and the guys in Fleshcrawl."

Carnal Ghoul commented:

"You will never be forgotten and we will miss you very much Brother...

Our deepest condolences to your dear wife Dany Groß and your Family.

Rest in festering Slime Svenjamin, der beschde...

Your brothers in Carnal Ghoul."
