In the ever-evolving world of heavy metal, loss hits hard, and boy, does it sting when we say goodbye to a true icon. Peter Kubik, the brilliant guitarist and bassist of Austrian black metal band Abigor, has sadly left us at just 49 years old. His passing, described by the band as a tragic act of suicide, sends ripples through the metal community, prompting us to reflect on the profound impact of those we adore in their darkest hours. The band beautifully captured his essence, declaring him “immortal in his legacy” on their Facebook, a testament to the undeniable mark he left in the realm of black metal. When we think of bands that have shaped the genre, Abigor stands tall — and Kubik was right there at its core, from their foundational album in ’94 all the way to their recent release this year. As tributes flow and fans reminisce about the haunting beauty of his work, one can’t help but ponder: How can someone create such emotional depth in their art while battling their own inner demons? We’ll delve deeper into the legacy of Peter Kubik, the music he gifted us, and the haunting reminder of the fragility of life that lingers in his absence.
Heavy metal has lost another amazing talent. Musician Peter Kubik, guitarist and bassist for Austrian black metal band Abigor has passed away. He was 49. According to a statement from the band, Kubrik died by suicide.
“Immortal in his legacy – blood (family), soil (home) and monuments of Black Metal art,” the band wrote in a statement on Facebook, adding that he “walked through the gate by his own hand, through his own will.” They later explained that there will be “more” information “following during the next days,” and asked that fans “keep your respectful distance to the bereaved for now!”

Kubik formed Abigor with multi-instrumentalist Thomas Tannenberger in 1993. The pair were later joined by vocalist Tharen (Alexander Opitz), who eventually left the band and was replaced by Silenius (Michael Gregor). Metal Injection notes that Kubik played on every Abigor album from their 1994 debut Verwüstung / Invoke the Dark Age through their most recent record, Taphonomia Aeternitatis – Gesänge im Leichenlicht der Welt, released in 2023.
Over on Abigor’s Facebook, many fans are sharing memories and memorials of Kubik, with one person writing, “I remember hearing ‘Scars in the Landscape of God’ for the first time on the Blackend compilation cd, back in the 90’s. Took me to other dimensions as a youngster. Thank you for Supreme Immortal Art too, a masterpiece. My sincere condolences. RIP.”
“Deepest condolences to his family and thanks for the great art he created,” someone else offered, while another fan added, “An amazing musician…such honesty in those recorded emotions. He had it his way. R.I.P.”
