Jason McCash, former bass player for both The Gates of Slumber and Burn It Down, passed away yesterday at the age of 37.


The Gates of Slumber frontman Karl Simon released the following statement:


"My best friend died last night. There will be no reunion - no more of TGoS. It's dead beyond dead, and I've lost a brother. Please be respectful or silent. It's a small world and I'm still alive. Remember that shit."


McCash was the father to three young children and donations are being collected on their behalf.
