According to news currently being broadcast on the social network, David Parland passed away. He died on March 19th, 2013 at the age of 42.
David Parland (26 September 1970 - 24 March 2013) was a Swedish metal guitarist, best known for his work in the bands Dark Funeral, Necrophobic and Infernal, in all of which he was one of the founding members.
He was a member of Necrophobic from its inception in 1989, but quit the band in 1995 to concentrate on Dark Funeral, which he was one of the main founding members of in 1993. Prior to leaving Necrophobic he had, however, written most of the material for the next album. The album Darkside, with Parland's material intact, was released by Necrophobic in 1997, although Parland himself did not participate as a musician on the album.
Parland also ran the small underground cult record label Hellspawn Records from 1994 to 2002, releasing albums from bands such as Abruptum and his own Dark Funeral, with distribution by House of Kicks, VME and Sound Pollution. After leaving Dark Funeral in 1996, Parland founded the bands War and Infernal. While having kept a low profile and not being actively involved in any bands since the second line-up of Infernal broke up in 2003, Parland announced in January 2009 that he was working on new material with drummer Tomas Asklund (Gorgoroth, Dissection, ex-Dark Funeral). Demos and a full-length album are to be recorded during 2009. In March 2009 it was revealed that the band would be a continuation of Parland's old band Infernal. On 14 July, it was also revealed that Infernal have parted ways for good with drummer Tomas Asklund.
INFERNAL are now preparing for the recording of the long planned and awaited full-length album "THE INFERNAL RETRIBUTION", but are at the moment looking for a pro Death/Black/Metal/Heavy Metal drummer for the recording of this album, intented to be out in mid. 2013.
