With some terrible news to report at this hour, Yashira drummer Seth Howard was killed in a head-on collision car crash yesterday in December 29th Jacksonville, Florida. He was only 24. Howard as the drummer of Yashira, has been one of the best young talents in heavy music in the last few years. According to Jacksonville, FL’s WJXT News 4, Howard was driving north on SW State Road 231 at 11:20 pm last night when he crossed the center median and struck another vehicle head-on. Howard died of his injuries, while the driver of the other car and his passenger were both taken to UF Heath Gainesville with serious injuries. Yashira released their debut full-length album Shrine, earlier this year via Good Fight Music. We send our sympathies to Seth’s family, friends, his band and their fans at this time.
