Scott Columbus R.I.P.

Some sad news in the metal music world, as Scott Columbus, one time drummer for Manowar, has passed away at the age of 54.  The cause of his death has not been confirmed as of press time, but this post will be updated once the details come out.  As for Columbus, regardless of how you feel about Manowar, and there are certainly strong opinions on either side of the fence, Columbus was in one of the more influential bands in metal music.  Though he wasn't in the spotlight like Eric Adams or Joey DiMaio, Columbus did offer his own contributions to the band that proved to be on par with the other members of Manowar.  Columbus leaves behind a legacy that to this day, continues to hail and kill.
