RIP Trent Gardner

Not sure if you guys know about this feller, but he died suddenly on the 11th. I'd been a fan of his band Magellan since 1991 and also his various Magna Carta Label projects.



This is probably his crowning achievement, the project Explorer's Club - The Age of Impact and you might have heard it:

I'm getting "Playback on other websites has been disabled by the owner" so I'll go look it up on Youtube.

Never heard of the guy but that is one hell of a stellar lineup for that clip you posted so I have to check it out.

RIP.

What a drag!!!! I'll post the link underneath it.

Let's see if this song works.

R.I.P.

A major part of my introduction to prog-metal came via the Magna Carta label, for which he featured quite prominently. I did lose track of what he got up to later on, but given the role he played in the development of my musical preferences, this is actually a more significant death for me personally than some of the other big names that we've lost this year.
