AMEN frontman Casey Chaos has reportedly passed away at the age of 59.

The news was confirmed earlier today by Cleopatra Records founder and CEO Brian Perera in a social media post. He wrote: “With heartfelt sadness, I extend my deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of Casey Chaos.

“I had the privilege of working with Casey during his unforgettable live performance with CHRISTIAN DEATH at the American Legion Hall back in 1993. Walking into the hall with my good friend Matt Green and my wife, Yvonne, was an experience I’ll never forget — especially seeing Nicolas Cage sitting front-row center, completely captivated.

Casey wasn’t just an extraordinary musician—he truly lived and breathed the lifestyle.

“May he rest in peace alongside Rozz Williams and the many tortured souls we admire and respect.”

Skum Love, a close friend of Casey and fellow Los Angeles rock musician, also confirmed Chaos‘s passing in a separate social media post where he wrote: “I am really thrown back right now. I don’t know what to think. What to say. One of my good friends and in some ways someone who I look up to as a performer just passed away. Casey Chaos I’m gonna miss you. I love you. Thank you for always being a big support of what I did. You know I was your biggest fan and friend. RIP”.

AMEN‘s most recent collection of new studio recordings, Death Before Musick, was released in 2004 via EatUrMusic, a Columbia Records imprint founded by SYSTEM OF A DOWN guitarist Daron Malakian.

The band remained largely inactive after reuniting for a performance at Knotfest in October 2014 in Devore, California. Roy Mayorga, former SOULFLY drummer and current STONE SOUR and Jerry Cantrell band member, filled in on drums for the show.
