David Andersson, guitarist for Swedish melodic death metal band Soilwork, died at the age of 47.

Sadly alcohol and mental illness took you away from us, according to a statement from Soilwork.

The band wrote on social media that they were sad about the passing of David Andersson. He was a genius in many ways. He was the guitarist for more than a decade and had a big impact on the musical journey of Soilwork.

We will carry the musical legacy that he was a part of. Our deepest sympathies go out to the family.

David Andersson Forever ❤️
