Ciriaco “Pinche Peach” Quezada, the longtime vocalist and sample creator of legendary Mexican Death Metal band Brujeria has died. He was 57. He passed away from “serious heart complications.” Earlier today (Thursday, July 18), Brujeria’s leader Juan Brujo broke the news on social media via a statement which you can read below. Pinche was typically unmasked compared to the rest of the band, and provided comedic elements to their performances and albums. Always a fan favorite, he provided a lot of talent and charisma to everything Brujeria has done. Brujeria released its fifth full-length album, Esto Es Brujeria, last September via Nuclear Blast Records, and was set to embark on a another headline tour this summer. RIP.

 “I never thought I would have to do something like this. This is not easy for me. So here I am with very heart breaking news. This news hurts more then anything else Ive ever announced here before…

“Pinche Peach of Brujeria passed away last night from serious heart complications.

“As a long term member of Brujeria he was the unmasked face of BRUJERIA! He was the ‘star’ of all our song videos. Videos like ‘La Migra’ to ‘El Patron del Reventon’.

“The band and I will miss you dearly. We love you and loved working with you! You will not ever be forgotten!! He was my best friend, my bro, my bandmate, and my cousin.”
