Buffalo, NY’s SONS OF AZRAEL have lost their singer. Joe Siracuse died unexpectedly at 29. We send our thoughts and love out to their friends and family.
Noisecreep reports:
This is the second tragedy to befall the band in the past year. The news of Siracuse’s death comes just days short of the one-year anniversary of guitarist Tony Lorenzo being shot in the back during an armed robbery. Lorenzo was ultimately paralyzed from the waist down.
Lorenzo was mugged at 10:30PM on October 26 in Buffalo’s Elmwood Village. At the time, Lorenzo spoke about the incident, saying, “The kid asked me, he said, ‘Give me what you got.’ And before I could even get my wallet out, he just shot me. I was robbed. I can’t feel my legs right now.”
