Ex-Manowar Drummer Dies

2011-04-04 by Tyler EMERITUS | 30 Comments
Ex-Manowar drummer Scott Columbus has died. The news comes as surprise as Columbus was not known to be ill prior to his death late early Monday morning. He was 54.

Ross the Boss, himself an ex-member of the legendary metal outfit, announced the death on the drummer's Facebook page late Monday evening.

Columbus had been planning to tour with Ross again in the coming months in support of his upcoming 'Instrumetal' project.

The cause of death has not yet been released.

Columbus left Manowar in late 2008 when he and Joey DeMaio cited irreconcilable professional differences. The two reportedly remained friends.

Scott Columbus leaves behind a legacy that is uniquely his own, one befit for no other band but Manowar. After reportedly being discovered “beating aluminium in a local foundry”, Columbus quickly became known during his tenure as one of the most powerful drummers in metal—his kit, known as the “Drums of Doom”, was so named because it was made entirely of stainless steel, apparently a solution to Columbus' tendency to constantly break regular kits.

The apocalypse is upon us, it would seem. Everyone in metal/punk is either getting robbed or is having current/former members die. WTF. RIP.

This has little relevance, but one of my chickens got pecked to death today. So, I went out and buried it. It's surreal to be covering something that was once living with the dirt that it once walked on.

RIP.
So many people are dying.
