DEATH OF AMERICAN HEAD CHARGE GUITARIST
 

From MTV News...........


American Head Charge guitarist Bryan Ottoson was found dead on Tuesday. The 27-year-old musician's body was discovered in a sleeping bunk on the band's tour bus in North Charleston, South Carolina, where the group was set to play at the Plex club, according to a spokesperson At the moment, bandmembers are said to be heading home to their native Minneapolis. The cause of Ottoson's death hasn't been determined, pending the results of an autopsy. An official statement from the group is expected later on Wednesday (April 20).

The band had been on tour with Mudvayne, Life of Agony and Bloodsimple. For now, American Head Charge are expected to miss the next three dates of the tour at the very least — it's unclear whether they will be rejoining the package trek going forward.

The industrial metal collective was formed nearly a decade ago by frontman Martin Cock and bassist Chad Hanks (known to fans by his stage name, Mr. H.C. Banks III), following a chance meeting in a Minnesota rehab center. In a recent interview with British magazine Metal Hammer, Hanks said, "In the past three years, we've had two or three relapses, two treatment centers, a divorce, two members leaving, and a whole heap of other sh-- going on." In the same article, Cock alludes to the fact that alcohol and drug abuse has nearly ended the band in the past.

American Head Charge released their last record, The Feeding, in February.

Never heard of American Head Charge so they must suck. If they're touring with Mudvayne then they must really blow. That ---- is retarded. ::)

i haven't seen the guy in while. we worked at the same dealership and i don't exactly hang around there anymore. it was such a small building, everyone was practically family there.

but any time i stopped in to talk, he was so proud of his brother and what he had accomplished, it's just soo sad. i met the guy a few times and he was sooo kind and really funny.

That ---- happened a while ago, and you're posting it now?

American Head Charge is a local band here in the Twin Cities. They're pretty good if you're into that type of music. Sucks for AHC fans.
