Mieszko Talarczyk (December 23, 1974 – December 26, 2004) was the lead singer and guitarist of the Swedish grindcore band Nasum, Genocide Superstars, and Krigshot. Known for his engineering and production abilities, he co-founded Soundlab studios with Millencolin guitarist Mathias Färm.
In December 2004, Mieszko went on holiday to Thailand with his girlfriend Emma during a break in between albums, and died in the tsunami disaster on December 26, 2004, three days after his 30th birthday.[1] His body was identified on February 16, 2005, and his remains were transported back to his hometown of Örebro, Sweden where his funeral was held on 30 March.[2] Though badly injured, Emma survived. After Mieszko's death, Nasum and Genocide Superstars disbanded permanently.
