Michael Batson, the vocalist for Surrounded By Monsters, passed away last week, according to his friends and family, which is sad news for the deathcore community. People have stepped forward to form a GoFundMe to help Batson’s surviving family get through such a tough time, even if there are now few details available regarding what caused his abrupt departure. A person who wished to remain anonymous claimed that Batson had given up on his fight with mental health problems. His wife Traci, who plays keyboards in Surrounded By Monsters, is now navigating life alone as a result of his death.
As many of you may know, the world lost Mike unexpectedly last week. Traci lost the love of her life and her world has fallen apart. Life has challenged her more than most can know, except now her partner in life isn’t by her side to take it on with her. Let’s come together and show her that she is still not alone. Together, we can help lessen her burden so that she may finally take time to grieve.
If you can help the crowdfunding, you can visit this page and make your contributions. We offer our deepest sympathies to Traci and all of the people close to Michael.
