“I’ve known Cody for quite sometime now, and am very familiar with AOD because I’ve been living in Portland for fifteen years. I’ve always loved their imagery and unapologetic nature. I believe rock n roll is meant to be dangerous, and so do they. The one thing that grabbed me the most though, is their work ethic as a band. These guys are one of the hardest working bands I’ve seen in a long time, and that goes a long way with me. I’m hoping to help shape them into the best version of themselves, and am enjoying working with them. I think their fans, and fans to come, will really like the end result of our collaboration. ” – Jonny Santos.

Shocking Tragedy: Taime Downe’s Fiancée Kimberly Burch Dies in Heartbreaking Cruise Incident - @thebeast

Shocking Tragedy: Taime Downe’s Fiancée Kimberly Burch Dies in Heartbreaking Cruise Incident

March 7, 2025 – More details have emerged regarding the devastating tragedy that unfolded aboard The 80’s Cruise, involving Taime Downe’s fiancée, Kimberly Burch.

On the fifth day of the week-long cruise, multiple sources have confirmed that Downe and the members of Faster Pussycat remain onboard Royal Caribbean’s Explorer of the Seas.

The heartbreaking incident took place on the evening of Sunday, March 2, shortly after Faster Pussycat had performed. Burch tragically went overboard from the couple’s balcony, leading to a frantic search by the ship’s crew just hours after setting sail.

Authorities presume that Burch passed away after falling from the eighth story of the 15-deck ship at approximately 11:00 PM (EST) while the vessel was about 20 miles off the coast of The Bahamas. According to an update on the ship’s Wikipedia page, “The ship stopped for search and rescue, but resumed course several hours later while the Coast Guard continued search and recovery efforts.”

Riki Rachtman Speaks Out


One of Taime Downe’s lifelong friends, Riki Rachtman, has now spoken publicly about the tragedy. The former Headbanger’s Ball host shared an emotionally charged 20-minute message via Facebook Live expressing his grief, frustration, and thoughts on the situation.

Posting at around 2:30 PM (PST), Rachtman titled his video: “I shouldn’t go Live but I’m furious & sickened.” Despite initially hesitating, he ultimately felt compelled to set the record straight, addressing rumors and speculation surrounding the incident.

In his heartfelt message, Rachtman stated:




“Now I’m going to tell you exactly the truth… Kimberly and Taime had a very toxic relationship. They have been fighting a lot. They’ve always fought a lot. A lot of it had to do with drugs and alcohol. Taime loved Kimberly very-very much. Kimberly loved Taime very-very much. However, they fought all the time. That is the true story.”




Clearly shaken, Rachtman continued:




“Kimberly Burch committed suicide. She jumped off the boat and, unfortunately, she did it right in front of Taime.”







“When someone commits suicide, they’re hurting very, very badly. And when they commit suicide, their pain is gone. However, all the people around them suffer an even greater pain.”







“Suicide is a very, very selfish act.”




He also addressed speculation regarding Downe’s involvement:




“For anybody to put any blame on Taime is absolutely disgusting. The fact is, he was exonerated of all charges. If he wasn’t, he’d be in jail. There is video… of her committing suicide, and Taime was cleared of all charges.”




Rachtman’s words painted a devastating picture of what Downe is experiencing:




“How is Taime doing? How do you think he’s doing?” he said in frustration, referencing people who had been asking about Downe’s well-being.







“The woman he has lived with for the last eight years committed suicide in front of him. And I feel horrible for Kimberly, that she was in so much pain that she had to commit suicide. I feel horrible for her friends.”







“Taime did absolutely nothing wrong, but he is going to be scarred for the rest of his life.”




No Official Statements Yet


As of press time, neither Taime Downe, Faster Pussycat, The 80’s Cruise, nor Royal Caribbean have issued an official statement regarding the tragedy.

Rachtman and Downe share a deep history, having co-founded the legendary Hollywood nightclub Cathouse in 1986, which eventually led to Rachtman landing his role as the host of Headbanger’s Ball on MTV.

Sending Strength to All Affected


Metal Sludge extends its deepest condolences to Kimberly Burch’s family and friends, as well as support and strength to Taime Downe and the Faster Pussycat family during this incredibly difficult time.

Collapsed Vein Unleashes Crushing Debut Album Pain Communion on April 18, 2025 - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Collapsed Vein Unleashes Crushing Debut Album Pain Communion on April 18, 2025


Montana, USA – Prepare for an auditory descent into darkness as Collapsed Vein unveils its long-awaited debut album, Pain Communion , on April 18, 2025 . This one-man death-doom project, helmed by Kevin George , melds suffocating atmosphere with grandiose textures, drawing comparisons to Yob, Neurosis, and Triptykon .

Crafted over a decade of meticulous writing and refinement, Pain Communion is a harrowing exploration of mortality, religious decay, and isolation . The album’s weighty riffs and thunderous low-end are complemented by haunting pipe organs and ethereal choral arrangements , forging a unique sonic experience that transcends traditional doom metal.

Kevin George’s vision for Collapsed Vein is a stark and immersive journey, fusing slow, crushing doom with eerie, cathedral-like atmospherics . Pain Communion is more than an album—it’s an existential ritual of despair and transcendence.

For those who revel in the crushing depths of death-doom metal , Pain Communion promises an experience as bleak as it is beautiful. Prepare for the soundtrack to oblivion on April 18, 2025 .
