Brisbane Deathcore 5-piece As Paradise Falls were rocked on Monday 9th November. In Thailand recording their next album, they awoke on that morning to discover that their brother in music, Glen Barrie had passed away peacefully in his sleep overnight. The devastating news was passed on to Glen’s Family, his pregnant Wife Cassie, who immediately travelled to Thailand to bring him home and then Friends and Fans of the band were told on Tuesday last week.
