Unique Leader CEO and Founder Erik Lindmark dies age 46

Distorted Sound is saddened to report that Unique Leader Records CEO and Founder Erik Lindmark has passed away.

Following a battle with sclerosis, Erik Lindmark, the founder and CEO of Unique Leader Records and guitarist for DEEDS OF FLESH, has sadly passed away. He was only 46 years old.

The label has posted the following statement, which reads as follows, “it is with great sadness that we must announce that our CEO & Founder, Erik Lindmark, passed away last night after battling with Sclerosis.

The indelible mark he has left on the death metal genre is monumental, both as a business man and as a musician. After building this label from scratch with his DEEDS bandmates, Erik took Unique Leader to a level he had never expected it, or the genre, to get to.

During his time in Hospital, Erik was absolutely implicit with his instructions to staff to go full steam ahead with the label in his absence- which is exactly what we intend to do.

That being said, we will not be releasing anything in January so that we can make the necessary adjustments and delegations within the company. We would like to thank you all for your well wishes, support and kindness toward Erik on socials and via private correspondence.

There is a gofundme setup for Erik‘s daughter Bella (5) and his wife- link below.

Rest in peace Erik. You were a true warrior.”

RIP Erik Lindmark.

All of us at Distorted Sound send our deepest condolences to Erik’s friends, family, bandmates and fans.
