Guitarist Cory Smoot, well known by his stage name Flattus Maximus, was found dead on Thursday. Smoot’s death apparently occured between previous night’s Gwar show at Minneapolis First Avenue and Thursday morning when his band colleagues tried to wake him up before crossing the Canadian border. So far the cause of the decease is unknown but an autopsy will eventually reveal more information on the tragic circumstances.

Band’s leader Dave Brockie -stage name “Oderus Urungus”- provided the following statement on the sad news:
“It is with a sense of profound loss and tragedy that the members of Gwar must announce the passing of their long time guitarist and beloved friend Cory Smoot, also known to thousands of metal fans worldwide as Flattus Maximus. Cory was found deceased this morning as the band prepared for a border crossing. There is no word as to the cause of death and the members of Gwar are completely shocked and devastated that this has occurred. At this point there is no word on arrangements and the disposition of the remainder of Gwar’s current North American tour, nor are there any details regarding long term plans. At this point we are just dealing with the loss of our dear friend and brother, one of the most talented guitar players in metal today. We ask that our fans and the media be respectful of our request for privacy for those that have suffered this terrible loss. A full statement will be coming in the next day or so, in the meantime please give your thoughts and your prayers to Cory, his family, and all the people that love him.”
