"Don Decker, legendary lead singer and songwriter of Anal Blast and longtime Midwest promoter, died today (Sunday, October 11) at 2:17 a.m. According to his friends, the passing was "peaceful." He was 41 years old.

The cause of death has not been made public, but Decker reportedly received a liver transplant last year.

Decker will be remembered for his uncompromising adoration of Heavy Metal, his
promotion business in Minnesota, which almost single-handedly jumpstarted the Minnesota metal scene, and his violently obscene lyrics
for the band Anal Blast - the band he said was "the most stupid band in the world.""
