Peter Kubik of Abigor dead

Peter Kubik, the founding member of Abigor, has passed away. Here is the message from the band:

"PK 1975 - 2024

Immortal in his legacy - blood (family), soil (home) and monuments of Black Metal art.

Walked through the gate by his own hand, through his own will

Also, Summoning posted an epitaph on their Facebook page:

"PK 1975 – 2024

PK, co-founder of Abigor, died by his own hands through his own will. Summoning knew Peter since the 1993 ABMS days, early joint demo projects bear witness to these formative times. Silenius joined Abigor in 1994 and the band signed a deal with Napalm Records – soon after, this collaboration led to a deal with Summoning and the past of both bands was inextricably interwoven during the 90s. For example, PK is mentioned on 'Dol Guldur' with lyrical contributions. Many memorable weekends in these carefree youthful days followed, but especially in the past 10 years, common hikes to the open countryside and mountains of Austria led by Silenius have been regular highlights for the involved, often filled with stories of our common past. During his life, he was paragon for many in our scene, now in death, he became a legend."
