"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." - http://www.metalinjection.net/
"Laut Berichten aus New Orleans bzw. aus der amerikanischen Presse ist EYEHATEGOD-Schlagzeuger Joey LaCaze in der letzten Nacht verstorben. Genaue Details sind derzeit nicht verfügbar, sodass diese Information noch nicht zu 100% bestätigt werden kann. EYEHATEGOD hatten erst vor Kurzem eine Europatour absolviert und bereiteten sich gerade auf einige Konzerte in den USA im Zuge des 25-jährigen Bandjubiläums vor." - http://www.metalnews.de/
Doom Metal Front is really shocked as we have spoken to him personally on the recent European Tour. They were currently preparing to release the long awaited 6th EYEHATEGOD full-length album.
We would like to pass on our condolences to Joey’s family and the band.
This is a very sad moment.
