Former OBITUARY<\/b> bassist Frank Watkins<\/b> has died after a long battle with cancer. He was 47 years old.<\/p>\n

Watkins<\/b> left OBITUARY<\/b> in 2010 on acrimonious terms and was eventually replaced by Terry Butler<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Watkins<\/b> started playing music at the age of 12 and joined OBITUARY<\/b> in 1989, after the recording of the band’s debut album, “Slowly We Rot”<\/b>. His first album with the group was their landmark 1990 LP, “Cause Of Death”<\/b>. OBITUARY<\/b> broke up in 1997, but Watkins<\/b> reteamed with his bandmates in 2003, and stayed with the group through the recording of 2009’s “Darkest Day”<\/b> LP.<\/p>\n

Frank<\/b> was also involved in managing, mentoring and guiding other bands and musicians through his management company Back From the Dead Productions<\/b>, which he launched in 2007.<\/p>\n

In late 2007, Watkins<\/b> became the bassist of Norwegian black metal band GORGOROTH<\/b>, and in 2009 he participated in the recording of the GORGOROTH<\/b> album “Quantos Possunt Ad Satanitatem Trahunt”<\/b>. He made his live debut with the band at the Hole In The Sky<\/b> festival in Bergen on August 29, 2009. This was the first concert GORGOROTH<\/b> had performed since September 2007.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Metal Maniacs<\/b> published online in August 2009, Watkins<\/b> explained that for his work with GORGOROTH<\/b> he had taken the stage name “B\u00f8ddel<\/b>“, which means “Executioner” in Norwegian.<\/p>\n

Watkins<\/b> told Noisecreep<\/b> in a 2009 interview that he once worked as a mortgage broker. “I had a mortgage company for a while and mortgages went out the window in America and it’s all corporate,” he said. “I worked for Wells Fargo<\/b> for a long time and realized I could do this myself. I don’t need a bank to pay me, so I just opened my own. Just as the mortgage industry dropped, OBITUARY<\/b> said, ‘Let’s play again.’ I let the company fizzle out in 2008. I decided to do music full-time since I could try and implement the business sense that I have and all the nightmares I suffered through in the music business!”<\/p>\n

Watkins<\/b> said that he honed his sharp-as-a-steak-knife business sense “probably from fighting with promoters at shows. All the shit we did in the band! When I started as a stock broker, I had gotten off a tour and OBITUARY<\/b> decided we were not gonna do anything for a while. I saw my friend driving a Porsche<\/b> in my neighborhood at the grocery store, and I was like, ‘How do you afford that?’ And he said he was working as a stock broker, so I told him to get me a job. I learned how to sell on the phone. It was hardcore and military-style shit. It was insane, but taught me a lot of negotiation skills.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
