The Austrian black metal scene has suffered a devastating loss with the passing of Peter Kubik, the founding member of the legendary band ABIGOR. Kubik passed away at the age of 49.
The band says in a statement:
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.

ABIGOR‘s latest studio album, Taphonomia Aeternitatis (Gesänge im Leichenlicht der Welt), was released in December 2023 via World Terror Committee.
