Anal Cunt - Frontman Passed Away


Anal Cunt's publicist, Kim Kelly of Catharsis PR, has confirmed via Twitter that the band's charismatic frontman, Seth Putnam, died yesterday, Saturday, June 11th of a suspected heart attack. He was 43 years old.

Commented Kelly: "Yes, it's true. Seth Putnam, one of the most infamous musicians that extreme metal has ever seen, the grindcore GG Allin, has passed away due to a heart attack.

I handled all the promotion for Anal Cunt's last album, Fuckin' A, and Seth was always happy to oblige any request I sent his way. The band had been working on a new album before his passing, so chances are his musical career's epitaph has yet to be inscribed.

I want to remind everyone that no matter how outrageous and controversial his musical career has been, Seth was still a human being with friends and family that loved him. I'm hoping that the Internet will remember that. This is a very sad and trying time for those that knew him, and the last thing they need to see is an outpouring of message board hate. The man lived and died by his own rules; if anything, respect him for that."




On October 12, 2004, Putnam was hospitalized after ingesting two months' worth of Ambien sleeping pills. It was reported that he spent the previous day contemplating suicide, although exact circumstances surrounding the drug overdose are vague.

Putnam's reaction to the irony of his having been in a coma after previously writing the song "You're In A Coma" was published in the Boston Phoenix. Quoted Putnam: "Actually, it turned out it was just as gay as the song I wrote nine years ago ? being in a coma was just as fuckin' stupid as I wrote it was."

Hmm, I still have my doubts that this story is actually true.

Ther were supposed to play tomorow in my town and as you can see here (http://www.myspace.com/toutafond) the show is cancelled so i don't think it's a stupid joke, but I'm sure he made it expres to die 'cause he was to lazy to play

Enjoyed meeting him and AC drummer, Tim, back in '96 (and watching his live performance). He definitely brought an authenticity, originality, and energy to his music and will be sorely missed.

You know what? Seth Putnam was a douche. But he was a fuckin' honest douche. He was well aware of his doucheness and he expressed it in the most awesome and harmless way possible, through music...if you could call it that.

RIP Seth Putnam!:metal:

Seth is probably smiling in his grave at comments like this. Long live Seth, extreme music's greatest troll.

You died of a heart attack, you're gay

Haha.

Anyway R.I.P. While he may not be the most quality human being out there, I agree with the quote, he lived his life with his own rules, and left it in the same manner. No matter how big of a douche you are, you don't deserve to die in 43.

Besides, he amused me more than once.
