The band recently played the Impact Music Festival in Bangor, Maine alongside Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, Avenged Sevenfold, and Slayer.

[UPDATE: 09/04] According to the PRP, the cause of death of Pavones was an accidental overdose. Pavones’ family made the following statement via Twitter.

“On Saturday August 25th, we lost our son, our brother, our best friend and our band mate to an accidental overdose.

The opposite of addiction is connection. If you are feeling disconnected or lost, there is help. Please take action, whether that is talking to your families and friends, meeting with a counselor or joining a support group.

If you are a friend or family member of someone who is struggling, do not be silent! It you are an artist in need of support through your struggle, we have created the Kyle Pavone foundation in kyles honor to help.
Kyle PavoneFoundation.org

We look forward to celebrating kyles life again at a public event in early October at the Fillmore in Detroit. Please join us to continue to support Kyle PavoneFoundation.org

Thank you”
