Following the sad news of Scaccia's untimely passing, rumors surfaced regarding the cause of death. Thankfully, Corbitt has taken matters into his own hands in order to clear the rumors. Here is what he was posted on his Facebook page:
"Please everyone... I know there has been so many rumors and reasons that Mike passed away. This stuff about strobe lights is totally false. I wanted to wait for the official cause of death to be released. But I already knew when it happened. Here is the official word... RIP Mike Scaccia. SUDDEN CARDIAC DEATH Due to: ATHEROSCLEROTIC AND HYPERTENSIVE HEART DISEASE"
Corbitt has always been paying tribute to his friend and bandmate today, here are some heart felt words he posted earlier today:
"Mike was always so close to his parents. When his Mom passed away... he called me and asked me to come up to the studio and be with him when he recorded this song he wrote to have played at his Mom's funeral. So I went to Kerry Crafton's studio to support him during his huge loss. I was touched at the strength and emotion he showed that night when they were recording these tracks.
"I know that no one had the privilege to watch Mike play guitar more than Casey, Harden and myself. We always knew all sides of Mike's talents. He could play anything... as you can see in this video. Love ya and miss ya bro!"
Our hearts go out to Scaccia's family, friends, fans and all of his bandmates! ROCK IN PEACE!

This past Friday (July 27), MINISTRY's founder Al Jourgensen was rushed to a hospital via ambulance after collapsing on stage during the middle of the bands performance in Paris, France. According to RadioMetal.com, Jourgensen came on stage looking "rather intoxicated and was nearly unable to move throughout the performance".
Last year Jourgensen told Metal Hammer magazine that his decision to break up MINISTRY in 2008 after 11 albums and 27 years was largely due to his health problems.
"I'd been throwing up blood for the last three tours and like an idiot, I didn't think there was anything wrong," Jourgensen said. "So I came back, [off tour] and it got better for a couple weeks. Then in March 2010, I went into a seizure and bled out 65% of my body and they had to take me by ambulance to the ICU where I flatlined. I was dead. I couldn't hold down food and I just didn't know what was wrong. I spent a week in ICU where they gave me a 100% blood transfusion."
He added, "After a tour I had [an ulcer] burst right over a main artery in my stomach. They found 13 of them from my esophagus to my intestines which had scarred over, which explains why I'd been puking for years.
"I spent most of 2011 in doctor's offices, brain scans, everything. They've probed holes I didn't even know I had, but I've lost 50 pounds. I'm a vegetarian again, I have a personal trainer, I do 20 miles on my bike every day, I eat right, I'm the healthiest I've been in over 20 years."
When Revolver magazine asked Jourgensen earlier this year if he can still drink, he said: "I have a male nurse who weights 350 pounds named Hector. I call him 'Hector, the third bottle rejecter.' I'm only allowed two bottles of wine a day now. And it doesn't even get to that. It's about a bottle and a half, and that seems to be good along with the medicine I have to take every day for the rest of my life. I just went and saw my doctor and she said, 'Yeah, you're actually doing pretty good for being a fucking degenerate.'"

This just in: MINISTRY's founder Al Jourgensen was rushed to a hospital via ambulance after collapsing on stage during the middle of the bands performance in Paris, France.
After much speculation, the band’s management has issued an official statement regarding the situation and Jourgensen’s current condition.
"Ministry frontman Al Jourgensen collapsed on-stage during the live Ministry performance and was rushed to hospital via ambulance where he was examined by numerous physicians and diagnosed to have had a full-system collapse due to extreme dehydration and heat exhaustion intensified by the lack of ventilation on stage at the venue. Doctors confirm via blood tests conducted that Jourgensen’s alcohol blood levels were well below normal and no narcotics were found in his system. As a result, Ministry has cancelled today’s appearance at the L’Etaples France Rock en Stock Festival in order to allow Mr. Jourgensen a few days rest to recuperate and receive additional medical attention in Switzerland. Jourgensen fully intends to complete the remaining shows on the Ministry DeFiBriLlaTouR European leg.
"Jourgensen extends his most sincere apologies to his devoted Parisian fans who displayed so much love, respect and concern for him before and after the Ministry show. Says Jourgensen: “I will make it up to you, somehow. I love Paris, I love the Parisian people. I’m so sorry …but, sh– happens and the sh– hit the fan for me last night."
Following the cancelled L’Etaples France Rock en Stock Festival performance, the next date scheduled for Ministry is July 31 in Switzerland. Check out all the remaining Ministry tour dates here.

"El Asesino", also known as Tony Campos, is currently touring with SOULFLY in support of their crushing NEW album 'Enslaved' (out now via Roadrunner Records), for which he wrote and recorded all the bass parts. Tony also wrote and recorded all the bass parts on Prong's NEW epic album 'Carved Into Stone', which is available now via Long Branch Records.
Recently, STATIC X and PRONG announced the "Noise Revolution Tour". The big question all of the fans have is whither or not Campos will be part of this tour. Here is what Campos posted on his Facebook page regarding this matter:
"I keep getting asked about this Static-X / Prong tour coming up, so I want to clear up a few things. I have no interest in working with Wayne Static, now, or anytime in the foreseeable future, so I will not be part of this version of Static-X. As for Prong, I will not be performing with them due to my current commitments to Soulfly. However, I do look forward to working with Prong again in the near future. If you haven't checked out Carved Into Stone yet, what the hell are you waiting for? \m/"

Thirty
years and 12 albums later, as well as a near-death experience in 2010,
Jourgensen rises as a phoenix from the ashes with 'Relapse' -- still
angry, still political and very very pissed off. Relapsing back into the
music industry after a four-year hiatus, Jourgensen launches his audio
assault with "Ghouldiggers," a no-holds-barred Metal bullet aimed
directly at the pitfalls of the industry he has survived. Everything
Jourgensen predicted on Houses of the Molé, Rio Grande Blood and The
Last Sucker has transpired and as we approach the Mayan calendar of the
End of Days in 2012, Jourgensen, re-invigorated by the global "99
Percenters" and Occupy Wall Street movement, navigates through Relapse
once again as a reluctant prophet accusing, dissecting, cajoling and
exhorting greed, corruption and lies.
This past Saturday (June 23rd), the band arrived to New York City's Best buy Theater to bring the noise via "The DEFIBRILLATOUR"! Compiling a 19 song set list that included many of the bands classics, as well as plenty of NEW songs and even a cover by the STORMTROOPERS OF DEATH, the Industrial Metallers proved why they are one of the finest bands in the history of the genre (which they pioneered). The set list was as follows:
1) Ghouldiggers
2) No W
3) Rio Grande Blood
4) Señor Peligro
5) LiesLiesLies
6) 99 Percenters
7) Watch Yourself
8) Life Is Good
9) Waiting
10) Worthless
11) Relapse
12) The Last Sucker

Deep in the heart of Hell Paso Texas, Ministry’s Al Jourgensen
re-opened the doors of his industrial compound studio in Fall 2011 and
invited his favorite co-conspirators Mike Scaccia (Rigor Mortis), Tony
Campos (Static X), Tommy Victor (Prong) and Casey Orr (Rigor
Mortis/Gwar) to climb on board the Ministry pirate ship and de-construct
and re-construct Jourgensen’s monsterpiece 'Relapse'.

American Head Charge is back! After seven years of silence, the Industrial Metallers are set to return to to the musical spectrum via their NEW EP entitled 'Interstice'. The EP marks the band's first NEW musical release since their 2005 'The Feeding' album.
'Interstice' was recorded at Cleveland's Studio D (with additional tracking and mixing done in the band's hometown of Minneapolis) the EP is set to include four NEW songs and a cover of the Patti Smith classic "Rock and Roll Nigger."
"This was a song that Chad had written during the time Head Charge was in limbo; we actually had three different singers put vocals on it prior to Cameron coming back," says American Head Charge guitarist Karma Cheema. "During the first rehearsal, we were working with Sin while Cam was out in the car demoing stuff on his laptop. Unbeknownst to us Cam wrote the vocals almost immediately and came in to play it for us and asked 'What do you think about this?' We were all pretty blown away. It's more of a radio song than we've ever written, not by design, that's just the way it came out. We're at this kinda weird interim between the past and present of Head Charge, and this song was written right in the middle of all that.
"We know it's a departure but we're very proud of it, however, it's in no way indicative of what's coming. We're not planning to make a whole record of songs that sound like this, but 'Sugars' captures a moment in time for a band that had kinda lost its way. The magic of Head Charge, really, is the core members doing what they do together, and "Sugars" is the first time since we wrote The Feeding, that we had a great representation of that. "
American Head Charge is:
- Cameron Heacock: Vocals
- Chad Hanks: Bass
- Karma Cheema and Sin Quirin (Ministry, Revolting Cocks): Guitars
- Justin Fowler (Keyboards)
- Chris Emery (Drummer)
"El Asesino", also known as Tony Campos, is currently touring with SOULFLY in support of their crushing NEW album 'Enslaved' (out now via Roadrunner Records), for which he wrote and recorded all the bass parts. Tony also wrote and recorded all the bass parts on Prong's NEW epic album 'Carved Into Stone', which is available now via Long Branch Records.
Additionally, Tony recorded a handful of songs for 'Relapse', the NEW MINISTRY album (available now via 13th Planet Records). Tony confirmed to us that he is permanent member of SOULFLY and that he won't be part of the "retirement" shows that MINISTRY has planned later this year.
Right before SOULFLY devoured New York City's The Gramercy Theatre, we ran into Tony and caught up with him. During the chat we discussed his decision to join SOULFLY, how he manages to work on so many projects all the time, and how bass playing changed his life! Check out our brief interview with Tony "El Asesino" Campos.
