S10E280: Richard "Yeti" Kirk
Our metal community has faced another heartbreaking loss with the passing of Richard ‘Yeti’ Kirk last week. This episode is a tribute to Yeti, celebrating his musical endeavors and his unforgettable antics. Yeti is known for his ferocious death metal vocals, showcasing his talent in bands such as Skodag, Salt This Earth, and Abdicate. His latest project, Thy Hideous Wake, combines his vocals with drumming, deepening his roots in the extreme metal scene.
Yeti found his rhythm when he began practicing drums regularly, thriving on the challenge of learning new songs. He would often reach out at ungodly hours asking us to suggest tracks for him to play. After some banter, during which he would dismiss our suggestions, he would select a song and share the video with us. The snippets featured in this episode come from a select few of his recordings. We’re confident that many friends received these videos too!
To those unfamiliar with him, Yeti might have seemed intimidating, but to his friends, he was a gentle giant, full of warmth and humor. His legacy will continue to resonate within our scene.
Raise your glass (do not spill; he’d be pissed), share a memory, and toast to all that is Yeti. Here's to a man who was always larger than life - Richard.
