John Pepe, AKA Juan Brujo, of legendary grindcore band Brujeria passed away last night at the age of 61. They were on tour in support of Gwar.

This follows the passing of the only unmasked member of Brujeria, Ciriaco Quezada (alias Pinche Peach), earlier this year in July.

This one absolutely sucks. I was casually into Brujeria in high school after learning that it was mostly a revolving door of musicians from other bands I was already into. Notably, the following:
Dino Cazares (Fear Factory, Asesino, Divine Heresy)
Raymond Herrera (Fear Factory, Asesino, Phobia)
Jesse Pintado (Napalm Death, Lock Up, Terrorizer)
Tony Campos (Static-X, Prong)
Nicholas Barker (Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir)
Jeff Walker (Carcass)
Shane Embury (Napalm Death, Lock Up)
Adrian Erlandsson (At the Gates, the Haunted)
And I got really into them after "Bruja Encabronada" was released as a single last summer. They've been a damn hoot.

Cheers to the narcogrind legend.
