From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mieszko Talarczyk (born December 23, 1974 in Poland - died December 26, 2004 in Thailand) was most well known as the lead singer/guitarist of the Swedish Grindcore band Nasum. Along with being a vocalist and guitarist, Mieszko was also known for his engineering and production abilities, having co-founded Soundlab studios with Millencolin guitarist Mathias Färm. He has also been involved in the music industries in a lot of other ways, earlier starting an Extreme fanzine called "Scenkross".

In 2004, Mieszko went on holidays to Thailand with his girlfriend during a break in between albums, and was killed in the tsunami disaster on December 26th, 2004. His body was identified on February 16, 2005. His girlfriend survived, although badly injured. After Mieszko died, Nasum as a band disbanded. The status of his punk side project Genocide Superstars is still unknown.

He was rarely seen without a cap on.
