R.I.P. Paul Raven

Paul Raven -- best known for playing bass in Killing Joke, as well as for his work with Prong, Pigface, Godflesh, and others -- was found dead in France yesterday of an apparent heart attack.  He was 46.  Most recently, Raven was touring and recording with Ministry, whose leader, Al Jourgensen, had this to say today:  "I am in total shock. The world of music is a sadder, emptier place. Not only was Raven an extraordinary talent, but one of my closest, dearest friends. Our condolences and prayers go to his immediate family. He will be truly missed by artists, musicians and his fans the world over. The one consolation is knowing Raven's already hooked up with the right people and started a new project in the After Life. God's speed, Raven. Rest in peace, you fucking pirate."
