Written by vezzy on 15.02.2012 at 21:56 This will be only true if the world doesn't end in December 21st this year or later  On a more serious note, even though I am not a huge fan of the band, such things are always sad news. RIP.

He was a really great drummer (Sinergy, To Hell And Back... really good drum stuff) and has my respect.

They don't say how he died. He was 38! Too young for an explanation-free death. And yeah, his work with Sinergy was fearsome.

Of all the members of Sinergy, I thought he'd be one of the last to go.

Yesterday Tonmi's family informed the press that his death was sudden and it's still unclear what caused it. It wasn't a suicide. His friend found him dead in his appartment.

Written by vezzy on 15.02.2012 at 21:56 It wasn't this bad in the first months of 2011, was it now? It's February and you've already got like five to six musicians dead and Tony Iommi with cancer. :/

Written by Iron Nostarion on 17.02.2012 at 23:46 Yes, it was. Five to six? I haven't really been keeping track, but it seems like a normal number. Musicians are people, dammit.
