I don't know if you all heard what happened this weekend but here's the news from the local paper in Pacheco CA (where the new EP was recorded).

Nevada Musician found dead

Police were called on Monday afternoon to recover the corpse of Nevadan metal musician Scotty Lee Bennett. When police arrived they found the vicitim headless with guitar in hand. Other members of the band A House Cursed said that Scotty's head exploded upon hearing the new EP. The scene was a horrific display of gore, typically reserved for horror films. Bits of skull and brain matter coated the walls and all who were in the control room at the time of Scott's death.

"I think I got some of him in my pipe," the producer lamented.

"I was sitting on the couch listening to the playback when I noticed Scott stop speaking in mid sentence.... His head just.. it just... exploded..." vocalist James Dean Booth sobbed to the authorities. "I've seen Scott rock out so hard before but to see him not be able to handle this rock... It's, it's just too much."

"Scotty was a fag, that's why his head exploded." Jeremiah Ratledge was overheard.

"I always thought Scott would die by getting drunk and starting a fight with a bear." Vincent Bertolani told the Associated Press.

"I'll be praying for him and his family." solemn words by Jeremy Orris.

There will be no memorial service at this time. We've found a fill in who's got even awesomer hair.
