Randy Rampage formed part of the band during two periods of time, the first one being in 1988-1989, when he put his voice for the legendary Alice In Hell record. His second run took place between 1999-2000, with the Criteria For A Black Widow album featuring him. He also was bassist and vocalist for punk band D.O.A. But playing with bands like D.O.A. and thrash metal standard-bearers Annihilator brought him fame but no fortune, so he paid the bills as a longshoreman.
According to Vancouver Sun, on "Tuesday he did a shift at the Lynnterm Terminal in North Vancouver, came home and plopped down in his favourite chair. After suffering a heart attack, he died early Tuesday evening."
"It looked as though he was just watching a South Park DVD, resting," said his partner, Susanne Tabata. "It happened early last evening when I was out running an errand. I just talked to him before I left."
On their part, Annihilator have published a short post on their Facebook page that reads: ''R.I.P. Randy. Thanks for your unique and legendary voice.''
Our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones. R.I.P. Randy.
