Former Holy Terror vocalist Keith Deen has passed away.

The singer of the '80s Los Angeles-based thrash group lost his three-month battle with cancer on Thursday (Dec. 12). He was 56.

"With the loss of Keith Deen, a part of me is gone as well," said Holy Terror guitarist Kurt Colfelt about his former bandmate's passing.

A former member of speed metal act Agent Steel, Colfelt formed Holy Terror in 1986. The band went on to release two studio album -- 1987's Terror and Submission and 1988's Mind Wars -- before parting ways.

Colfelt reformed Holy Terror in 2005, but his attempts to get Deen involved were futile.

He just offended God with his "Bullshit" handsign. We'll all see him on the Judgment Day.

No need for insensitive comments just because you haven't heard of Holy Terror or "this man". Not to mention it clearly says who he was. Holy Terror was awesome and sucks he died.
