Exhorder bassist Frankie Sparcello passed away on Tuesday, March 22, due to unknown causes, according to Blabbermouth.net. Sparcello originally joined the band before the recording of their sophomore release, 'The Law,' in 1992.

The band broke up shortly after the album's release, before reforming with their original lineup a few years after. Sparcello rejoined the band in 2009. You can watch a video of a 2009 reunion show on YouTube. Exhorder were scheduled to perform at Maryland Deathfest IX on May 26-29, 2011 at Sonar in Baltimore, MD.

Loved Exhorder, great band. It is a shame. Musicians with real talent dying while the endless mainstream pop puppets and their auto tune never go away.
