In een Rotterdams ziekenhuis is op 27 augustus de in Ridderkerk wonende Terrorizer-gitarist Jesse Pintado overleden aan de gevolgen van een diabetische coma.
"...As I write this tribute, I keep hearing Jesse's voice in my head, his laugh, stupid goofball shit we used to say to each other for our own amusement and having flashbacks of all the killer times we shared, situations and places we've been. My deepest heartfelt sympathies and condolences go out the his wonderful family in California, and of course, his extended family in Birmingham and all who knew him dearly around the world.
I LOVE YOU BRO, AND YOUR MEMORY WILL BE FOREVER IN MY HEART.
R.I.P AMIGO"
Napalm Death gitarist Mitch Harris:
"I am very sad and upset about this news. Jesse was like a brother to me and we were very close for many years. For now, I feel the most sadness and compassion for his family that loved him dearly, and tried with all their heart to help Jesse redirect his future..."
In een interview op Blabbermouth van 7 augustus spreekt Jesse over het nieuwe album en het verlaten van Napalm Death.
