Honestly same. I'm not even slightly informed on who people in the music industry are, though. I work with a guy who's in some kind of band that sings the kind of music where you swallow the mic and make a lot of guttural sounds and he asked me what kind of music I was into. I was like "mostly just the cheesiest pop garbage available." He was like "Yeah, no." and stopped talking about music with me.

He's pretty far from mainstream, so it's not super surprising, but he was as big as they come in the underground/alternative hip hop scene. I'd recommend checking his work out if you're at all into rap, or want to hear Methylenedioxymethamphetamine worked into a bar.

Here's how underground he was: He actually died on Halloween, but his family just announced it on New Year's Eve.

I put him even a little above Immortal Technique in the underground scene. As was said above, absolute legend.

Wasn't the biggest fan of his bands but he was one of the greatest guitar players of the last 20 years. RIP Alexi Laiho, only 41.
