Voraath Drummer, Josh Ward, Passes

It is with a heavy heart that the ExSR family reports that we have lost one of our own. Joshua Ward, the drummer and creative genius behind the band Voraath, was killed in an automobile accident on December 31st 2024 alongside his fiancée and two other friends. This news comes as a harsh blow to everyone who knew him professionally and personally. Besides his stellar work with Voraath, he had also been spending time with us, putting in extra work at the label. We will miss Joshua for many reasons, from his inexhaustible imagination and passion for Voraath and its universe, to his kindness and his infectious laugh.

Voraath was in the process of recording new music and were about to unleash an entire new webpage of lore for their universe. We will work with the band as they decide their next steps.

We extend our deepest condolences to Josh’s family and friends.

A friend of Joshua’s has set up a GoFundMe page to help defray the expenses of Joshua’s funeral found HERE.

We at ExSR will miss our friend and colleague. Rest in peace Brother.
