This weekend saw the second edition of Lost Lands take place in the Legend Valley of Ohio. While the music was incredible, and vibes were good, the festival faced two confirmed deaths. The festival addressed the individuals who passed away at the event yesterday in a statement released on their social media.

Fans had mixed reactions to the statement. Social media has been swirling with unsubstantiated rumors that many more people passed away during the festival, which was brought up consistently throughout the comments of the statement on Facebook. Today, Excision came forward and released a personal statement regarding the deaths at his festival.

Excision poured his heart and soul into creating a one of a kind experience at Lost Lands for his fans, and to hear that people lost their lives at his event has not been easy on the producer. It takes a lot of strong morals to step up and address an angry mob about a situation which is horrible no matter where you stand on the issue.

You can read Excision's personal statement below. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of those who passed away this weekend. We know that Excision will work harder than imaginable to make things even more safe for next year's edition of Lost Lands.
