SETH PUTNAM, LEAD SINGER OF ANAL CUNT, VAGINAL JESUS, ROT IN HELL!

We are apologizing to all of our readers who are not too fond of the coarse language you will see in reading this story. We usually try to keep it off the front page, but alas, we are talking about the lead singer of the hate bands Anal Cunt and Vaginal Jesus, so it’s not going to happen this time. As a consolation, we are writing that Seth Putnam died of a possible heart attack yesterday at 43. Now, Vaginal Jesus was supposed to play at a club in Clifton, NJ called Dingbatz (yeah, the same club that keeps booking the neo-Nazi-associated band Call the Paramedics) for the first time in 22 years on Aug. 13, as we note in this alert. Some time ago however, we noticed that Vaginal Jesus’ name was removed from the listing of bands on the Dingbatz website, so we were trying to confirm if they were still playing or not (which we would trust by the way, since Dingbatz lied about taking CTP off a show on April 17). Now we guess Putnam made it plain as day – they ain’t playin’. Both of these bands were straight up WP, and made no bones about it, which makes you wonder why clubs that want the business of more respectable bands kept booking them. Anal Cunt also played the club Krugs in Frederick, MD, which had to unbook the aforementioned CTP when calls of outrage came flooding in. This POS’ last tweet on May 22 was – and again apologies – “Even though she’s a kyke, my new fav porn star is @JoannaAngel. I’d like to see a vid of her getting ass fucked while playing Angry Birds.” This guy couldn’t even spell a racial slur right – AND he dissed someone from the New Brunswick, NJ scene, which just makes him dying weeks after he posted that even sweeter for us (don’t screw with the Hub City). So however miserable this chump was in life, may it be ten times worse where he ends up from here.

ANAL CUNT‘s publicist, Kim Kelly of Catharsis PR, has confirmed via Twitter that the band’s frontman, Seth Putnam, died earlier today (Saturday, June 11) of a suspected heart attack. He was 43 years old.

Commented Kelly: “Yes, it’s true. Seth Putnam, one of the most infamous musicians that extreme metal has ever seen, the grindcore GG Allin, has passed away due to a heart attack.

“I handled all the promotion for ANAL CUNT‘s last album, ‘Fuckin’ A’, and Seth was always happy to oblige any request I sent his way. The band had been working on a new album before his passing, so chances are his musical career’s epitaph has yet to be inscribed.

“I want to remind everyone that no matter how outrageous and controversial his musical career has been, Seth was still a human being with friends and family that loved him. I’m hoping that the Internet will remember that. This is a very sad and trying time for those that knew him, and the last thing they need to see is an outpouring of message board hate. The man lived and died by his own rules; if anything, respect him for that.”

Putnam was known for his brutal screaming and lyrics that either shock, offend, or invoke morbid humor. Throughout his career, Putnam was involved in many side projects, including providing backing vocals on PANTERA‘s “The Great Southern Trendkill” album.

Putnam was born on May 15, 1968, in or around Boston, Massachusetts to father Edward R. Putnam and mother Barbara Ann Donohue. Both he and his parents are divorced.

In the mid-1980s, Putnam played bass in the thrash metal band EXECUTIONER.

On October 12, 2004, Putnam was hospitalized after ingesting two months’ worth of Ambien sleeping pills. It was reported that he spent the previous day contemplating suicide, although exact circumstances surrounding the drug overdose are vague.

Putnam‘s reaction to the irony of his having been in a coma after previously writing the song “You’re In A Coma” was published in the Boston Phoenix. “Actually, it turned out it was just as gay as the song I wrote nine years ago — being in a coma was just as fuckin’ stupid as I wrote it was,” he was quoted as saying.
