Update: There is a statement from Ministry frontman Al Jourgensen below.

It is with a sad heart that we report Ministry/Rigor Mortis/The Revolting Cocks guitarist Mike Scaccia has passed away. He was 47 years old. Below is a picture of Mike as well as a pretty comprehensive interview.

Reports are saying that Mike suffered a seizure and collapsed on stage during a Rigor Mortis performance that was celebrating singer Bruce Corbitt’s 50th birthday. He was rushed to the hospital where he passed away.

Corbitt posted on Facebook, “My brother is gone! The only reason I am who I am is because of this man. If it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t even be in a band. RIP Mike – the greatest guitar player I ever knew. I’m proud to say that I was always Mike Scaccia’s biggest fan, and always will be.”

R.I.P. Mike. Your music changed the landscape of music and you will be missed. READ MORE

Few bands today embrace their own individualism to ultimately craft something truly unique and genre defying regardless of the sales potential. Enter the Chicago-based Nachtmystium who embrace the true spirit of individuality and intolerance forming solely as an outlet to express the dark musical visions and summonings of those involved.
 
This vicious, uncompromising group’s (led by mastermind Blake Judd) much anticipated new full-length offering, Addicts: Black Meddle Pt. II, is set for a June 8th release. The disc was recorded once again with Sanford Parker (Minsk) at Volume Studios. They have enlisted the talents of Wrest (Leviathan, Lurker of Chalice, Twilight) to record all drum tracks as well as Will Lindsay (Wolves in the Throne Room, Middian) on bass for this new album, which was hailed by Decibel Magazine as “One of the 25 most anticipated albums of 2010.”
