Peter “Mean Pete” Kowalsky died
Peter “Mean Pete” Kowalsky, a member of numerous bands including Remembering Never, Until The End, bishops, and Ether Coven, has passed away.
The metalcore/hardcore vocalist was known as having stage 3 colon cancer at the beginning of 2020. He spent the following years receiving surgery and treatment for the illness, going through ups and downs, and even managing to perform on stage at the Birmingham, Alabama, “Furnace Fest” in 2021.
Zao made Kowalsky’s passing public by posting the following memorial on their social media pages
“Absolutely shocked to hear about the passing of “Mean Pete” Kowalsky. We shared many great times on the road (and almost shared more). Any time around him was a good time and the world was a better place with him in it.”
Mean Pete gave Lambgoat a “Six Songs To Die With” last year and afterward promised to work with us again. He had even recorded a record-shopping video, which would soon be made available online. It is now being edited and will shortly be posted to the website.
Lambgoat statement
The last piece of writing we have from Pete was a contribution to our Quarter 1 Top Albums earlier this year. We had plans to work with Pete in the future as a columnist and content contributor, but his illness returned, and he was unable to contribute further.
Our hearts go out to Pete’s family and friends. We’ll miss Mean Pete and all he brought to his music and the community. His talent and passion will always be remembered here at Lambgoat.
Peter “Mean Pete” Kowalsky’s cause of death
“Mean” Pete Kowalsky, of the band Remembering Never, Ether Coven, etc. fame, is facing stage 3 colon cancer and needs financial assistance. According to the official findings, it was determined that he died as a result of complications from cancer.
Kowalsky cancer Journey (01-Mar-2020)
Gofundme.com has launched a crowdsourcing campaign to assist with his related medical expenses. His condition was described as follows:
Peter was diagnosed with Adenocarcinoma- Colon Cancer- Stage 3. Pete visited the emergency room on December 26 because he had been experiencing intermittent pain in the lower right side of his abdomen since mid-November.
His appendix had not yet ruptured when he visited the doctor earlier that week; instead, he was diagnosed with appendicitis. He waited till after Christmas before going back to the hospital uninsured.
He was admitted for an appendectomy after they performed a CT scan that revealed it had burst. It was a messy surgery since it had burst. Mucous and infection were all over his abdomen.
His white blood cell count did not return to normal for five days while he was hospitalized. A week after arriving home, Pete got a call from the surgeon informing him that his appendix had tested positive for the cancer Adenocarcinoma in the pathology report.
After reviewing the results, Pete’s doctor urged him to plan another operation as soon as possible because the cancer in his appendix might have migrated to other parts of his body and because he had been officially diagnosed with colon cancer.
After the appendectomy, his colonoscopy results were perfect, which gave us hope that the malignancy had not spread. However, after speaking with the surgeon, we discovered that he had true appendix cancer, which is extremely uncommon and much more dangerous than colon cancer.
He was admitted for surgery last Tuesday to examine his lymph nodes and remove any debris that might have been left over after his appendectomy.
His bowels were discovered to be forced against another tumor during surgery, necessitating the removal of a portion of his colon and half of his small intestine.
Pete diagnosed with Stage 3 colon cancer
They informed him that a significant amount of cancer had been discovered in his body and diagnosed him with Stage 3 colon cancer.
Pete will begin chemotherapy in two weeks. Both intravenously and orally are being used to treat a little lump that was discovered on his lung but hasn’t yet been analyzed, as well as microscopic cancer cells that couldn’t be removed. With the right care, we anticipate that his cancer will have entirely disappeared.
A 40% likelihood of the cancer returning was given to him. After this procedure, Pete was told to rest in bed for three weeks. Anyone familiar with him is aware that he cannot and will not quit.
Since we anticipated that he wouldn’t want to solicit assistance of any kind, we began this campaign against his will. The truth is that since his insurance won’t start paying for procedures for another month, his medical expenses will be out of control.
Whether he realizes it or not, he also requires time off from work while receiving chemo, and despite this, he still needs to pay his bills. I’m going to provide him with a direct financial relationship.
Pete is a member of our family for life, and we would go to great lengths to ensure his safety and well-being. I’m requesting funds so that he can unwind and recover as he works towards being cancer-free.
| After a lengthy battle with cancer, he lost his fight yesterday July 10, 2023. We at Medicotopics send our deepest condolences to Kowalsky’s family and loved ones during this difficult time. Kowalsky’s passing has left a void in the hearts of his loved ones and the entire music community. |
Who was Pete Kowalsky?
Pete Kowalsky is a person with a lot of intrigue. He is a stalwart of the Florida Metal/Hardcore scene and is best known as the singer and lyricist for the band Remembering Never.
He is also noteworthy for serving as the current vocalist for the group xBishopx, whose lyrics center on the Straight Edge lifestyle.
Pete joined Remembering Never as the band’s first guitarist but switched to singing after Justin Daily left following the publication of Suffocates My Words To You. He performed live in 2003 with On Broken Wings.
He is well recognized for having strong opinions and speaking out frequently; whether we like it or not, his positions on many topics have a significant impact on all of us.
On topics like animal abuse, the meat trade, gay rights, faceless art reviewers, gay rights, and many other topics, he has written passionate and thought-provoking songs.
You haven’t really heard Remembering Never if you thought Rage Against the Machine was the angstiest politically charged music there is. Pete has been busy with “Normal life sh*t,” but that is an inadequate description.
Pete returned to school, majored in History and Nutrition, and is now a certified teacher at a wealthy private school. He is a tremendously driven person with a flame that seems unquenchable in his gut, but the venom he spews over the terrible musical assault of Remembering Never is polished and focused.
Pete has upset many people with his music and interviews, yet he never wavers from his beliefs and can support them with an unquestionable level of fervor. In his own words, all he wants from people is for them to “step out of their comfort zone, and see things from a different angle.”
Additionally, he is the owner of the incredibly exciting tiny record company Dead Truth Records, which is situated in his hometown of Palm Springs, Florida.
What better way to get full control than to start his own record company and release all of his music? I had the opportunity to speak with “Mean Pete,” as he is known, last month about a variety of topics.
This Hell is Home, the latest album by Remembering Never will be out on November 29. This link will take you to more information and the record.

Rest in power Peter “Mean Pete” Kowalsky. Those who brought me up know how much Remembering never meant to me. How much you as a front man meant to me. How finally being able to see Remembering never meant to me all those years ago. You will never be forgotten.

RIP Mean Pete. Remembering Never “Women & Children First will forever be a top 10 album for me. Seeing them at Jack Rabbits with As I Lay Dying in 2004 was one of the best shows ever. This one hurts
