Chris Witchhunter overleden

I want to inform you that Chris Witchhunter died last Night. A few hours ago we received a message from Witchhunters Mom that Chris is dead. We are shocked and stunned this time but we want to tell all Sodom Fans that one of the founding Members of Sodom gone forever.
At first we thought that this is not true but by the tears of Chris Mom… it’s true!

Please spread the message!

Dear Fans and Friends,

In the beginning of this week we send you the sad Message that Chris Witchhunter is dead. At first we want to thank all fans and friends for the message in the book of condolence.
We also want to say: It’s a fact Christian Dudek aka Chris Witchhunter is dead! Last few days we received a couple of Mails from people who want to tell us that “i saw Chris yesterday in Essen- City” and other ones told us that “Chris will opened next time a Café/Bar in Schleswig Holstein (Germany)”. All these Messages are not right!
Chris is still dead and since a few hours we know the cause of death:
Chris died by a “Decompansation of his organic system”. Means: Some of his vital parts got a malfunction and that’s leading to his death.
Tom is still on Tour with Sodom in South America and he will send us a Statement later. We will post the Statement asap on the official Sodom Website and on our Myspace Site too.

Best Wishes

Your Sodom Team!

Dear Fans and Friends,

In the beginning of this week I received the message that Chris Witchhunter had died. I was shocked – and you can believe me… I still am. As we recorded “The Final Sign Of Evil” I noticed that Chris was in a
very bad condition. It took more than 18 months to finish the recording for this record. My god, I don’t know what to say about this tragedy and i’m feeling really down.
After Chris had left the band we didn’t meet very often. If you take a look at the “Lords Of Depravity” dvd everybody realizes that Chris was really ill and confused. You can also understand why Chris and I didn’t have much contact during the last few years.
His sickness was a slow process and everybody saw what happened – but Chris never took a helping hand from anybody else. All of Chris’ friends will tell you so.
The worst thing was that Chris himself never realized the situation he was in and that it was important to accept help from others.
I can´t write any “clear” words as I am in South America right now and we are flying from show to show. At first I thought that it might be better to cancel the tour but that wouldn’t have been fair to our fans and Chris wouldn’t have liked it either.
I hope that all of Chris’ friends will help his lovely mom and support her in these dark times.
In the beginning of our friendship she was like my own mom to me. After my return from South America I will surely support her, too. I hope that we can arrange a big show for Chris with a couple of friends to give him a special farewell and to make some money for his mother!

Hey Chris, you created music history. R.I.P.!
