Longtime Eyehategod drummer Joey LaCaze died earlier today.

Invisible Oranges broke the story, receiving the information from a credible source of LaCraze's death. There is no word on the cause of his passing or any other further at this time.

LaCaze was with EYEHATEGOD since the band's inception on 4/20/88, and was also involved with other bands such as Outlaw Order, Ten Suicides, and Italian Cemetery Suicide. Eyehategod had just completed a European run and were gearing up for a string of shows celebrating their 25th anniversary. At this point, there is no word on the status of these shows, and obviously there are more pressing matters at hand.

Some of you may know and some of you may not know about Crowbars drummer Tommy Buckleys Prostatectomy Procedure...He had his prostate removed August 13th due to cancer. The cancer was in a small part in his prostate but doctor suggested the total removal to prevent the spreading of cancerous cells. He is doing great with the love and care of his family and friends. Lisa D Ryder, Tommys girlfriend gets a special blessing for being so wonderful to him. She has been an angel He is in her care right now. Tommy got his staples taken out today and should have catheter out in 2 weeks. Tommy decided that he wanted to go public with his surgery to let people be aware of the importance of prostate health. He is ready to play ASAP!! We ask that you keep him in your prayers!!! He will beat this....

Joey was a cool dude, very laid back and always in a good mood. That hollow tapping sound in the background of the Down song Jail is actually Joey banging on a plastic Halloween pumpkin.

Tommy also played in Soilent Green. He did some touring with Exhorder and played with a few other bands too. He's the go to guy if you need a metal drummer in New Orleans. Good to see him doing well.
