Bryan Ottoson, langjähriger Saitenhexer bei AMERICAN HEADCHARGE ist am 19.April 2005 verstorben. Die verbliebene Band gab dazu folgendes Statement ab:

"The music world has lost a great guitarist and an even greater person with the death of our dear friend Bryan Ottoson. Bryan was a vital member of our group and a key songwriter on The Feeding. It is our intention to honor his memory by re-joining MUDVAYNE, one of Bryan´s favorite bands, on their current tour. Words cannot convey the depth of our sadness, but we want our fans to be able to hear the music Bryan loved so much. He´d be pissed if we didn´t continue on."

Chad Ottoson, sein Bruder, fügt hinzu: "The Ottoson family firmly stands behind AHC´s decision to carry on in Bryan´s name."
