Death edit

On July 6th 1994 Matt Sicher, along with Matt Harshner and Bill Simmons, went to an abandoned golf course in Spring Valley known as The Chateau. They were drinking beer and smoking Angel Dust when Sicher decided to go for a swim. Matt Harshner was worrying when Sicher failed to surface. He dove in to look for him to no avail. By the time the Police and Fire departments arrived with divers, it was too late. For years after his death the band could not replace him because they could not find someone who played as fast and hard as he did.[1] They intermittently used electronic drum sounds and the occaisional drummer until Sam Inzerra (Morpheus Descends and Generation Kill (band) joined the band in 2003.
