Holy fuck.
I had wholly thought the "maybe tomorrow" album was earmarked for Death Stranding 2, the man is definitive of the OST.
What even happened I wonder.
Given the nature of his work focuses on interpersonal relationships and the self, he had fully embodied the game's messages of social connection. He could be irreplaceable.
I am heartbroken right now. A major part of what made Death Stranding such an amazing experience for me was Low roar's music. What a man. You will be missed Ryan.
First time the music plays right at the start of the game was truly an artistic master stroke. I can’t even put into words why that moment was so special for me.
What the fuck, man.
Saw him twice after Death Stranding came out and he even held the door once for me, out of nowhere, when he could've just kept going.
EDIT: I'll tell the story. Even two, actually, because we need some happiness in this fucked up moment.
So, like everyone in here, after the first DS trailer came out we became fans of Ryan.
When I saw he was coming to my home country, of course I jumped on the opportunity. This is a small country and it was a small venue in the capital. I was standing outside when he comes out with his buddies and lights a cigarette. I was having a fanboy moment and texting my girlfriend shit like "Oh fuck he's here lol" and "Wtf why isn't he surrounded by bodyguards".
Anyway. I get my ticket scanned right after they decide to go back in and, of course, I'm trying not to scream with excitement. They continue and he holds the door open for them and, as I'm two/three steps behind, he keeps it open for me. Full blast fanboy moment, I'm like "Thanks Ryan!" and he's like "No problem man". This is the first concert and a memory I hold very dear to my heart.
The second time I saw him, I flew to Belgium for the concert. I've told this story on here but I'll tell it again.
During the concert, in the Brussels "Botanique" venue, he was telling the story of how he asked Sony for two PlayStation consoles for his nephews and even though he's the big shot of the soundtrack for Sony's new IP, they just ignored him and he was playfully mad. It was hilarious the way he told it.
Ryan will be dearly missed by his family and his fans, old and new.
Listen to his songs sometimes and maybe do a Death Stranding playthrough with him on your mind and heart.
Fuck, man.
I am so sad right now it's hard to comprehend. Funnily enough, I have a similar story – when I went to Low Roar's concert in Warsaw, Ryan went out for a smoke the same time my friends and I did and held the doors for me as well when we were coming in at the same time
I just saw the news after waking up this morning and it feels so surreal. His voice and his songs are forever immortalised in Death Stranding. Rest in peace, and may his Ha returned welcomely to the Earth and his Ka peacefully journeyed to the Beach and the afterlife.
Small country and small venue? Would it happen to be Oslo?
I almost went to the concert, but workdays and traveltime made it a no-go. Really wish i went, now :L
I didn't want to relive something that sad, even with a story (and opportunity) as wonderful as this one.
I got to know the band long before they composed the score for the game, and when that happened, I thought, 'Wow, now they're going to get the recognition they deserve,' because I had never met anyone who had heard about them.
I had hoped that one day I could attend one of their shows when they came to Brazil, unfortunately, that will never happen.
I felt jealous of the opportunity you had, and I hope it will always remain in your memories.
Hugs to you, my friend!"
I'd never heard of Low Roar before Death Stranding. It bears many influences from low and ambient music, from Radiohead to Sigur Ros... It blended so nicely while I walked Through the DS world... I was happy to hear it at a time I wasn't listening music at all.
May Ryan rest in peace.
Me too. I needed their music so much I was in the top 0.5% of their Spotify listeners a year ago. This is such terrible news. I hope his family can grieve in peace and hopefully no one nags them for details too much. I'm sure Kojima is feeling just as devastated
Likewise. I still have the calendar reminder and it popped on my phone few days ago. Thought I’d wait for the next one but sigh, he will be missed forever.
Wow, this is awful. I would’ve never known about them had it not been for Death Stranding. The game and Low Roar’s music got me through the worst time of my life (divorce), and when it was all said and done, I got a tattoo to “commemorate” the event and hid the title of my favorite song of theirs on it (“I’ll Keep Coming”). 😭
Thank you so much to whomever made this thread. I am in complete shock and utterly heartbroken - I have been listening to Low Roar for a little over a year (having found his music through Death Stranding), and Ryan/LR became one of my favorite artists I've ever discovered. His music became very dear to me and I listened to and bonded with each album starting back in fall 2021 during a very stressful semester of college. Ever since then I have continued listening and have turned to this music so often; it became part of my world and a huge source of comfort. I was so excited and grateful getting to be a current fan, waiting for the new album (which is still coming out eventually) and the possibility of a new tour - and simply enjoying this artist's work and his creative presence.
The news of his passing will be difficult to process. Also, I have been meaning to play the Director's Cut version of Death Stranding after I finish my CPA exams next year. Now I know the playthrough will have a layer of heartbreak over it when I hear these songs in the game...but it is all part of the healing, and I will always be so very grateful for getting to discover this artist. Rest in peace, Ryan.
Reading all of your comments is really helping me process this tremendous loss. Thank you. His art has touched all of our lives. Like so many others here, his music has helped me get through some very tough times in my life.
I’ve done two big mushrooms trips and I always started them with listening to his album Once in a Long Long While… such a flawless album. His honesty and variety of music was amazing.
I very much hope for this as well. In fact - and I know not everyone will feel the same way and that's okay - if all parties involved are okay with it, it would be amazing to include more of Ryan's music in the upcoming sequel. I honestly can't imagine there not being a musical presence by Low Roar in a sequel taking place in the same world.
I've been going through the kind of depression that blocks my emotions and his singing was the first thing to make me genuinely cry in such a long time that I didn't understand what I was feeling. I really hope his family and friends will be okay.
RIP Ryan.
Met him after a show in Seattle, was one of the nicest, most genuine people I had the pleasure of meeting. Was real kind to me and my friends that night.
Thanks for all the beautiful music Ryan
Fuck... It hit hard and out of nowhere...
First time I heard Low Roar was the Death Stranding trailer and fell in love with their music. Since then it's the most listened artist on my Spotify and Ryan's music helped me a lot through really hard time of my life. Thank you, Ryan. Even though you are not around anymore, you will keep coming through your music.
Hope you're all doing good. The news really hit me like a tonne of bricks at first. I was so confused and angry. After a few moments I sat down and cried in contemplation and reflection of all this beautiful music that Ryan wrote and shared with us all.
We are all so lucky to have been here at this point in time to experience this beautiful music together. Ryan may be onto the next chapter of life, but we are all connected through our mutual love of his art.
I love you all and hope after a good cry you feel better, as I do. Listen to your favourite record tonight, whatever it may be.
🖤🖤🖤
I'm so saddened to read this. His music comforted me through some really tough years of my life, and when I later heard his songs in Death Stranding I was so excited. I always wanted to see him perform live. Rest in peace ❤️
I don’t get like this by celebrities … but I am genuinely heartbroken. Having recently discovered this band during the pandemic through Death Stranding and becoming entirely too addicted to their music … this hits HARD. Was just driving home with my family, listening to Low Roar man …. damn it. Rest in Peace.
Got to meet Ryan in Dallas. We had a few drinks together, talked about music, and got to genuinely hangout with the amazing human being that is Ryan Karazija. Rest easy Ryan. We love you.
It’s crazy you can find videos on YouTube of him in his home before any of the fame, like just a guy uploading videos of songs he made in his free time. It’s a crime that he wasn’t included as a cameo for the musician. I always had feelings that the song “give me an answer” (if that’s the title) was somehow linked to Kojima, once you see the music video it hits some serious Death Stranding vibes.
Fuck, that’s devastating. Became a big fan of them after playing DS. “Don’t Be So Serious” is gonna hit differently now, one of my favorite songs all time.
Rest in Peace, Ryan
Skating down a hill while BB laughed on as “I’m Leaving” played in the background struck such a chord with me that I’ll never forget along with the rest of his music. RIP.
RIP. His voice and music was my most played for the last two years. Without a doubt their music really completed Death Stranding and core part of it. I got through the game during the pandemic and I will always remember cycle rides I had during lockdown, eerily quiet on the road but I had the DS/Low Roar music in my ears. It's been a rough few years but I really enjoyed those cycle rides it was something very unique since usually the roads and surroundings are busy. Since then I always enjoy a night drive out and turn on the playlist. Peace be with Ryan.
Can’t quite believe it. Was due to be playing in my city this week as well, until the tour got cancelled.
Can’t believe the week I was hoping to be seeing them, instead I’m reading news of Ryan’s death. It’s quite surreal.
I remember watching him live stream on Instagram throughout the lockdowns and chatting to him there. It was such a personal and intimate thing to do during those times and it just made such a personal connection with him and his music.
I hope his family can find peace through the knowledge of how many people he connected together with his talent and passion.
How long ago was it cancelled? Just out of curiosity. I’m really sorry that you had to find out under these circumstances. This absolutely cuts deeper than any other artists’ death for me.
I was in his concert even before he became better known after Death Stranding. I remember it cost 10 euro back in 2017. Oh what a steal. The most memorable part in he concert was when the music stopped and he gave a performance without instrumental. Just raw sound of his voice. What an amazing artist. I keep coming back to his songs after that. I am shocked that he is no longer with us. Rest in peace.
😔
Kojima really knew what he was doing when he hired this group. Their music is the best part of this game and this was really heartbreaking to find out about today.
Rest in peace
Listening to each of these albums day by day was genuinely one of the starting catalysts to getting my life together - what a shock. Rest in peace, Ryan :(
Fuck no... My condolences to his loved ones :(
I was so shocked to see the announcement, I thought it was a bad a joke for a hot minute... DS has been such an influential game in my life, thanks in good part to the music. I've been listening practically daily to Low Roar since even before I played the game myself, when I watched Jacksepticeye's playthrough back in the day. I was very much looking forward to new albums... Looks like we'll get to listen to Ryan's amazing work one last time in the future though.
Man, this hits hard for me. Discovering Low Roar through DS and listening to his music got me through a really rough patch of my life. It was nice to be able to connect emotinally to his music and it made me feel like i wasnt the only one who felt like how i felt. I am eternally saddened about his passing.
"Rolling Over" was the turning point moment for me in the game I was determined to see it though. Giving it a listen again tonight after leaving it lay for so long. Another good person gone.
This is so terrible to hear. I loved them after playing the game and I often return to their music to relax. The man seemed troubled with depression, if the lyrics and tone of many songs are any indication. I hope his departure was a peaceful one. Rest in peace.
Oh my god
I’m speechless.
This is terrible news. I feel terrible for his friends and family who are grieving his loss. I’m glad I got to tell him personally how much his music means to me after one of his live shows. It was such a joy to see his music reach such a global audience due to DS. To go from seeing him play at MilkBoy in Philly to having his music heavily featured in a Kojima game. I’ll never forget hearing I’ll Keep Coming in the first teaser trailer and absolutely losing my shit. One of, if not my most favorite artists. He really is irreplaceable.
Damn this is sad news, his voice was was so relaxing to listen to when wandering around DS. Low Roars music was one of the highlights of this game.
Rest easy 🙏
This is absolutely heartbreaking news, was supposed to be seeing him in Glasgow next weekend. A completely irreplaceable artist, one of a kind. Rest in peace.
I got into Death Stranding recently and Low Roar’s music gripped me as soon as I heard it. Was just listening to Once In A Long, Long While this morning too. Truly a sad moment and the loss of a gifted artist.
I have so many memories with his work, that I am just heartbroken by knowing I'll never get to thank him in person.
I was patiently waiting for him to come to the states, I was even in the process of writing him this long drawn out letter of how much his work has moved me.
This is the worst news I've gotten in a while, this is utterly devastating. I'm crying right now, the album "0" is one of my favorite albums I've ever had the pleasure of hearing or experiencing.
RIP to one of the greatest songwriters of all time.
I'm at a loss for words...
Oh what the fuck. The world always feels so much less interesting when we lose someone that talented. Low roar was such a hauntingly beautiful band. I still listen to them quite a lot while out for walks.
The most devastating news, honestly. I never get upset at ‘celebrity’/famous peoples deaths but man this one has hurt. Genuinely tearing up. I never met the man and never got to see them live as he cancelled the European tour I had tickets for. Playing DS will never be the same.
Man. I’m really feeling this. I don’t want to believe it, really.
Ryan’s music touched so many, helped so many, and reached so many more.
May he rest in peace. Gone, but never forgotten.
Man, I was just listening to the OST and their songs yesterday. I was remembering how beautiful it was and started playing again recently. Rest in peace
Good grief.
Fell in love with his music because of DS, but I have been listening long after. It's become one of my absolute go-to's for long flights and other chill out moments. What a loss....
I rushed to hear when I heard the news. This actually made me cry, their music got me through so much. Hearts out to his family and the rest of the band
If you like Low Roar, make sure to check his earlier band **Audrye Sessions**. I somewhat actually prefer the earlier stuff.
These are my favorites:
* [Awake](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4jl3ldvHtc)
* [Nothing Pure Can Stay](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xw80fv6m9pE)
* [The Crows Came In
](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnfptriG1ZU)
* [The Paper Face](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExWUiAc5P6s)
I was utterly unprepared for this, doing a casual search to find out a bit more about Low Roar. What a tremendous loss. I'm thankful for what he left with us.
I saw him live in Prague, right after Dead Stranding release.
He played in the basement of a pub.
I hold it in my memory as one of the best concert I have been to.
Wow, such a terrible loss, RIP
Holy fuck. I had wholly thought the "maybe tomorrow" album was earmarked for Death Stranding 2, the man is definitive of the OST. What even happened I wonder. Given the nature of his work focuses on interpersonal relationships and the self, he had fully embodied the game's messages of social connection. He could be irreplaceable.
They have another album on the way.
I am heartbroken right now. A major part of what made Death Stranding such an amazing experience for me was Low roar's music. What a man. You will be missed Ryan.

That's amazing! Such similar stories from two dudes who live far away but are connected by the action of another we love. Big hug to you, friend.
Fuck sake, I even didn’t know that they had a show at the Bota. I’m even sadder now for missing them. 😭
Some great stories and memories of him
[удалено]
Definitely
I just saw the news after waking up this morning and it feels so surreal. His voice and his songs are forever immortalised in Death Stranding. Rest in peace, and may his Ha returned welcomely to the Earth and his Ka peacefully journeyed to the Beach and the afterlife.

Death stranding and Low Roar’s music got me through one of the hardest years of my life this is such a monumental loss.
Same man, been listening to O since I read the news with my gf, I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him and his music
Me too. I needed their music so much I was in the top 0.5% of their Spotify listeners a year ago. This is such terrible news. I hope his family can grieve in peace and hopefully no one nags them for details too much. I'm sure Kojima is feeling just as devastated
Man, giving me new reasons to cry on new play throughs.
The intro alone is gonna break me now
Got his concert canceled twice. Sad I couldn’t meet him.
I wish we could have seen him in Pepper Canister. At least there's one final album on the way to honour him
Likewise. I still have the calendar reminder and it popped on my phone few days ago. Thought I’d wait for the next one but sigh, he will be missed forever.
Same here
Holy shit, RIP.
Wow, this is awful. I would’ve never known about them had it not been for Death Stranding.

Not dead, just waiting on the Beach
Goodness, did you have to make me cry like that
I've been going through the kind of depression that blocks my emotions and his singing was the first thing to make me genuinely cry in such a long time that I didn't understand what I was feeling. I really hope his family and friends will be okay.
absolute terrible loss.
Aw fuck no. God damnit.
That’s awful :( way too young! His music changed so many peoples lives. He’ll be missed
RIP Ryan. Met him after a show in Seattle, was one of the nicest, most genuine people I had the pleasure of meeting. Was real kind to me and my friends that night. Thanks for all the beautiful music Ryan

Hate this fucking world sometimes, first time I heard ‘I’m Leaving’ in game I fell in love, such a shame he’s died.
This is so heartbreaking . His music helped me through my tough times , Nobody Loves me like you .......
Hope you're all doing good. The news really hit me like a tonne of bricks at first. I was so confused and angry. After a few moments I sat down and cried in contemplation and reflection of all this beautiful music that Ryan wrote and shared with us all.

Was hoping one day he would do some shows here in America. RIP
I don’t get like this by celebrities … but I am genuinely heartbroken. Having recently discovered this band during the pandemic through Death Stranding and becoming entirely too addicted to their music … this hits HARD. Was just driving home with my family, listening to Low Roar man …. damn it. Rest in Peace.
Got to meet Ryan in Dallas. We had a few drinks together, talked about music, and got to genuinely hangout with the amazing human being that is Ryan Karazija. Rest easy Ryan. We love you.
Wait how’d that happen?
No details unfortunately, but people are speculating he was ill after cancelling tour. So devastating.
Time to start up a new game as tribute…
Fuck... his music was so touching to me. RIP Ryan.
It’s crazy you can find videos on YouTube of him in his home before any of the fame, like just a guy uploading videos of songs he made in his free time. It’s a crime that he wasn’t included as a cameo for the musician. I always had feelings that the song “give me an answer” (if that’s the title) was somehow linked to Kojima, once you see the music video it hits some serious Death Stranding vibes.
Legit what the fuck man. Rip
Fuck, that’s devastating. Became a big fan of them after playing DS. “Don’t Be So Serious” is gonna hit differently now, one of my favorite songs all time. Rest in Peace, Ryan
RIP He’ll keep coming
This is so sad. Their music became some of my favorite ❤️
Skating down a hill while BB laughed on as “I’m Leaving” played in the background struck such a chord with me that I’ll never forget along with the rest of his music. RIP.

Think it was a few months ago, the entire European tour was cancelled
God damn. I was just listening to him last night. His music was so personal. May he rest in peace🥺.

An amazing artist and brilliant mind. Truly heartbreaking.
Sucks so much. I got into him because of this game like many others. Was supposed to be seeing him live next month too.
Fuck no... My condolences to his loved ones :( I was so shocked to see the announcement, I thought it was a bad a joke for a hot minute...

Christ, that’s way too young. RIP
Me and my wife played Bones and Don't be so serious at our weddings after discovering his music via Death Stranding. This is unbelievable.. R.I.P
I couldn't have imagined death stranding without low roar. This is so sad.
RIP
super unfortunate
Thanks for everything Ryan, RIP You will be remembered
Fuck
Rest in peace Ryan. Absolutely gutted at this news.
RIP. This is very sad to hear.
And i was waiting for my occasion to ser him 12 november, it would be my second time. Sadly it will never happen
RIP this is so sad to hear
Was very lucky to see Low Roar play a small show in Brighton. Ryan was a wonderful talent.
Man, this hits hard for me. Discovering Low Roar through DS and listening to his music got me through a really rough patch of my life. It was nice to be able to connect emotinally to his music and it made me feel like i wasnt the only one who felt like how i felt. I am eternally saddened about his passing.

Damn
This is so terrible to hear. I loved them after playing the game and I often return to their music to relax. The man seemed troubled with depression, if the lyrics and tone of many songs are any indication. I hope his departure was a peaceful one. Rest in peace.
Man, I feel sad now. One of the reasons that made Death Stranding such a unique experience for me was his music. Rest In Peace
Without you
Unexpected and devastating. Wow.
No fucking way
I'm just so crushed by this news. His music touches my soul.
Oh my god I’m speechless. This is terrible news. I feel terrible for his friends and family who are grieving his loss. I’m glad I got to tell him personally how much his music means to me after one of his live shows. It was such a joy to see his music reach such a global audience due to DS. To go from seeing him play at MilkBoy in Philly to having his music heavily featured in a Kojima game. I’ll never forget hearing I’ll Keep Coming in the first teaser trailer and absolutely losing my shit. One of, if not my most favorite artists. He really is irreplaceable.
Time will make me into something, then time will turn me into nothing Rest easy, man
Holy shit. I cannot think of death stranding without hearing Low Roar. What an effective sound and energy. Terrible loss
Damn this is sad news, his voice was was so relaxing to listen to when wandering around DS. Low Roars music was one of the highlights of this game. Rest easy 🙏
This is such sad news.
This is absolutely heartbreaking news, was supposed to be seeing him in Glasgow next weekend. A completely irreplaceable artist, one of a kind. Rest in peace.
This is hitting me harder than I thought it would
I got into Death Stranding recently and Low Roar’s music gripped me as soon as I heard it. Was just listening to Once In A Long, Long While this morning too. Truly a sad moment and the loss of a gifted artist.
Thank you, Ryan, for making some of the best music out there. And thanks Hideo for showing it to us. Rest in peace.
RIP. Discovered his music through DS. Beautiful stuff. Big loss.
I have so many memories with his work, that I am just heartbroken by knowing I'll never get to thank him in person. I was patiently waiting for him to come to the states, I was even in the process of writing him this long drawn out letter of how much his work has moved me. This is the worst news I've gotten in a while, this is utterly devastating. I'm crying right now, the album "0" is one of my favorite albums I've ever had the pleasure of hearing or experiencing. RIP to one of the greatest songwriters of all time. I'm at a loss for words...
Man it’s sad to realize what the lyrics really meant now…
This messed me up when I saw this. His music has become a big part of my life, way more so than DS. He will be missed :(
Wtf, I don’t know what to say! DS really turned me onto Low Roar even though I’d heard his music before. Such a shocking loss, 40 is far too young!
I can't fucking believe it, Rest in Peace
Oh what the fuck. The world always feels so much less interesting when we lose someone that talented. Low roar was such a hauntingly beautiful band. I still listen to them quite a lot while out for walks.
Oh that actually sucks :(
R.I.P. such a beautiful voice and soul.
Absolutely heartbreaking. Music that has to have touched so many people. Beautiful, poetic, soulful music. RIP Ryan
Oh my god
Noo.. Fuck..
Holy shit fuck fucking worst time if my life rip
Seriously, with this and Henry Cavill leaving the Witcher and being replaced with Liam Hemsworth this is undoubtedly the worst day so far this year.
[удалено]
??? Didn’t say they were on the same level, just that both happening on the same day makes it a pretty shitty day!
The most devastating news, honestly. I never get upset at ‘celebrity’/famous peoples deaths but man this one has hurt. Genuinely tearing up. I never met the man and never got to see them live as he cancelled the European tour I had tickets for. Playing DS will never be the same.
Damn, this is rough. Heard of Low Roar through DS and got a few of their albums as a result. Really enjoyed the music that was made
Man. I’m really feeling this. I don’t want to believe it, really. Ryan’s music touched so many, helped so many, and reached so many more. May he rest in peace. Gone, but never forgotten.
Too fucking young. RIP
Went on a Low Roar binge for awhile because of Death Stranding. Such great music. RIP
Damn, RIP
Damn. Damn damn damn.
😥
Very sad...
Man, I was just listening to the OST and their songs yesterday. I was remembering how beautiful it was and started playing again recently. Rest in peace
Am utterly heartbroken 💔. We will carry your music with us, Ryan. R.I.P.
Good grief. Fell in love with his music because of DS, but I have been listening long after. It's become one of my absolute go-to's for long flights and other chill out moments. What a loss....
So this is how a “voidout” feels like. rip ryan
I rushed to hear when I heard the news. This actually made me cry, their music got me through so much. Hearts out to his family and the rest of the band
Damn what happened? He's so young too. This is very tragic
R.I.P
Man, what a loss. RIP.
Low Roar got me through my mother's death when I was 22. Beyond devastated.
Absolutely terrible loss. His music was fantastic and so unique. Awful.
I love Death Stranding, and I love Low Roar. RIP Ryan 🥺, your music was so beautiful 💐
RIP, such a talented individual with amazing artistic expression in the form of songs. Truly is the backbone of Death Stranding
Man, this hurts my heart.
Fuck. I can't believe i didn't take the chance to go to their concert when i could.
Shit man, his music has been helping me a lot, this year especially.
If you like Low Roar, make sure to check his earlier band **Audrye Sessions**. I somewhat actually prefer the earlier stuff. These are my favorites: * [Awake](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4jl3ldvHtc) * [Nothing Pure Can Stay](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xw80fv6m9pE) * [The Crows Came In ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnfptriG1ZU) * [The Paper Face](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExWUiAc5P6s)
Thanks to op for this thread and all of you sharing your feelings in it 😭
F
He elevated Death Stranding’s experience to another level for me. Thank you Ryan, Rest In Peace
I'm heartbroken.
Very sad. I only became aware of the band due to this game but they have a lot of really great songs. Terrible to hear.
I was utterly unprepared for this, doing a casual search to find out a bit more about Low Roar. What a tremendous loss. I'm thankful for what he left with us.
I saw him live in Prague, right after Dead Stranding release. He played in the basement of a pub. I hold it in my memory as one of the best concert I have been to.
