Our beloved friend, brother, and drummer Cayle Sain has passed away.
Aside from his unmatched talent, Cayle had the biggest heart and was the most loyal and caring friend anyone could ask for. If you spent one minute with him, he loved you.
Rest in peace, and goodbye for now.
Cayle’s Twitching Tongues and God’s Hate bandmates Colin and Taylor Young also posted their own tributes. Taylor’s post reads:
Cayle left an immeasurable mark on this world in experience and in music. He lived 100 lives in the span that he was with us. Everybody has or knows a hilarious Cayle story, and EVERY record he graced will stand the test of time. He always said he looked up to us as musicians but in truth, there’s no one who came close to him as a drummer. I’m sorry my friend, we did so much cool shit together and I wish you knew how much you’ll be missed and appreciated. Cayle Sain.
Colin said:
Cayle Sain, one of a kind.
A true artist and a TRUE legend. Cayle was sensitive, hilarious and the most passionate musician I’ve ever played with. He possessed irreplaceable talent and an even more irreplaceable spirit who had nothing but love to give to everyone in his life. He remembered every face, every name and talked about so many of you so often.
Cayle is and was the rhythm backbone of Southern California, he SAVED multiple bands, Twitching Tongues would have stopped a long time ago if he didn’t step up.
I’m in absolute shock and go in and out of crying every few minutes, half from grief, and half from remembering something funny he said or did. Truly a comedic genius and I can’t believe I’ll never get to hear another joke again.
If God is real, he opened the gates for Cayle with a subscription to SoundCloud premium, a fresh bottle of sweet baby rays and a damn hearing aid.I hope that everyone, at some point, gets to have a friend like Cayle. Goodbye to our buddy, we love you.
Cayle had also recently said that he was working on something with Shakewell and Cody Chavez from Drain, and tributes from them and others who knew, admired, and played with him have come in as well.
Colin Young and Bo Leuders of Harms Way also said that their podcast HardLore will be cancelling their upcoming awards show and taking the next few weeks off in the wake of the news.
Rest in peace, Cayle.

If you enjoy sunamis drum parts it’s all thanks to people like Cayle. Every project he worked on motivated me immensely growing up. I’ve played downpresser, twitching tongues and mizery albums front to back countless times. Thank you for inspiring the next generation of drummers https://t.co/ZHJHkeVBgo

Truly so saddened. Really feeling for my friends who were so close to him. I only got to spend a relatively small amount of time with him, but Cayle was an absolute sweetheart and always so supportive and kind. He will be missed by many.
