EXHORDER Bassist Passes
March 23, 2011, 13 years ago
According to the official EXHORDER Facebook page, longtime bassist Frankie Sparcello died of presently-unknown causes early yesterday (March 22nd).
Expect an official band statement in the next few days.
Sparcello joined the legendary Louisiana thrash/groove outfit in 1991 and appeared on the band's sophomore album, The Law, which was released in 1992. The band would soon break-up with only two albums under their belt: 1990's legendary debut Slaughter In The Vatican and the aforementioned The Law, both of which have been remastered/reissued by Poland's Metal Mind Productions.
Sparcello rejoined Exhorder in 2009 and was scheduled to perform with the band at this year's Maryland Deathfest IX, which will take place May 26th-29th at Sonar in Baltimore.
