MATT Vinci, bassist and a founding member of US speed metal band Liege Lord, has died. He was 58.
Vinci passed away on September 9 following a battle with cancer. His lifelong band mate Tony Truglio posted the following tribute: “With the heaviest of hearts I write to our fans and friends all around this globe…I met Matt in the 8th grade and we formed a friendship and partnering of musical ideas that would last all these years. We were brothers till the end, as we endured on a mission to make the best heavy metal band that we could create. From the early years of practicing every night, writing songs and listening to hours upon hours of endless hard rock and metal music…to causing thousands of incidents of harmless mischief and sharing the best of times of my youth…I will always carry that brothership with me. You will always be with me Matt, until we meet again. Love, Trug.”
Liege Lord formed in Connecticut in 1983 and enjoyed a cult following, releasing three albums before splitting in 1990. The band reformed in 2012.
