RIP, the music in DS is one of the reasons I kept playing as long as I did, even if the game wasn't very good to me, the music was fantastic.

Absolutely horrible. RIP. He was extremely talented, and so young... 😢

I'm so glad I was able to catch them live here years ago. It was the only time they came through as far as I know.
 
one of the few things i liked about DS was the music. had never heard of Low Roar before but i enjoyed what i heard in the game.

RIP
 
loved the Low Roar songs in Death Stranding. Sad news indeed, far too young to die. Hopefully his art remains with us a long time. :messenger_anguished:
 
Whoa, too young 😢

Thank you KojiPro for introducing me to this wonderful band, and thank you Low Roar for the beautifully haunting music over the years.

Have a good sleep, Ryan Karazija





 
Like many, I was introduced to his music through Death Stranding. Amazing music and perfectly used in the game given its aesthetic. May he Rest In Peace.

One of the most beautifully written songs:
 
Sad news, RIP Ryan Karazija :( I was just playing DS yesterday and I unlocked a LR song after a mission.

Not my type of music but some of the songs suited well the game.
40 is way too young to die.
R.I.P

If they don't want to say it, it's most likely drugs. Which tragic at his age, but also personal choice, which seems better than by being hit by train, I guess I view that differently with what I experienced.

Rest in Peace and thank you for your music.

It was already disclosed - complications of pneumonia.
 
You get a repeated infection that overwhelms your body's immune system, then you develop sepsis, which spreads to other organs. At that point it's a failure cascade as your organs die and there's really no treating you.

Absolutely rough. Feel for the family and him.

Please define "complications". You shouldn't die from pneumonia at 40 yeard old.

I mean, the term "complications" and its meaning should be enough to define enough honestly. I don't think anyone is going to get more details aside from that, other than direct family and others. Those details aren't really our business.

"Ryan suffered from a short illness and died due to pneumonia complications."
 
This sucks. Low Roars music was something special. He will be missed. The world has lost one of music's great composers.

RIP Ryan.
