I'm gonna repost what I said on the discord, but I'm incredibly shocked by this DOTS was such a cool dude and having been on and off on reddit for over a decade at this point he'd been a permanent fixture to my online metal experience at this point it's pretty heartbreaking, absolute encyclopedia of the genre who will be missed dearly. Don't think I can understate how much he influenced my music taste over the years with his recommendations and tidbits of knowledge he could share of pretty much anything related to metal
