One of Christian Metal's Biggest Supporters, Dale Huffman, Passes Away 2/9/17

Dale Huffman was a husband, a father, a believer, and a lover of Christian metal. Through his internet radio station Metal Pulse Radio, and through writing for Untombed and Heaven's Metal, Dale was known to many bands, journalists and fans. His struggle with cancer since last year has been heartbreaking. Dale's family reported early on Thursday 2/9/17 that he went home to be with Jesus this morning. They thank you all for your prayers. Please continue to pray for the family during this time.

I would like to dedicate the old Petra classic "Grave Robber" to Dale Huffman:

"There's a step that we all take alone. An appointment we have with the great unknown. Like a vapor this life is just waiting to pass. Like the flowers that fade, like the withering grass. But life seems so long and death so complete. And the grave an impossible potion to cheat. But there's One who has been there and still lives to tell. There is One who has been through both heaven and hell. And the grave will come up empty-handed that day. Jesus will come and steal us away. Where is the sting, tell me where is the bite? When the grave robber comes like a thief in the night. Where is the victory, where is the prize? When the grave robber comes and death finally dies. Many still mourn, many still weep. For those that they love who have fallen asleep. But we have this hope though our hearts may still ache. Just one shout from above and they all will awake. And in the reunion of joy we will see. Death will be swallowed in sweet victory. Where is the sting, tell me where is the bite? When the grave robber comes like a thief in the night. Where is the victory, where is the prize? When the grave robber comes and death finally dies. When the last enemy is done, from the dust will come a song. Those asleep will be awakened, not a one will be forsakened. He shall wipe away our tears, He will steal away our fears. There will be no sad tomorrow, there will be no pain and sorrow. Where is the sting, tell me where is the bite? When the grave robber comes like a thief in the night. Where is the victory, where is the prize? When the grave robber comes and death finally... Where is the sting, tell me where is the bite? When the grave robber comes like a thief in the night. Where is the victory, where is the prize? When the grave robber comes and death finally dies. Finally dies."
