Warbeast and Down Announce New Tribute Tour
On Dec 23, 2012, the metal community lost beloved Rigor Mortis/Ministry guitarist, Mike Scaccia. Warbest and Down will be hitting the road with heavy hearts, dedicating the tour to the memory or Mike, whom was one of their closest friends.
Warbeast vocalist Bruce Corbitt shared his condolences and thoughts with the community:
“Mike Scaccia left this Earth doing what he loved to do. Tragically, the music world has lost an extremely talented, gifted and unique guitar virtuoso. His music and his legend will live on forever. But a loving husband, father, son and brother etc. can never be replaced. Mike would be overwhelmed with this outpouring of emotion that has risen from his passing, but he would mainly be proud of the enormous support that everyone has shown towards his family during this devastating time in their lives.
We can and we will make sure that Mike’s wife and his kids are taken care of. So, I would like to ask anyone that can make a donation… big or small… do it now. Please understand that this is what would mean the most to Mike.”

In addition to the tour, Warbeast has also recorded two songs about Scaccia that will be released together in the near future. One track also mentioned Jeff Corbitt, Bruce Corbitt’s brother whom also passed away. Scaccia’s daughter, Sarah Scaccia, is also putting together a book to honor her dad and is taking personal stories to compile together. You may email her at: sjska21@gmail.com
