The Zenith Passage & Oceano‘s live drummer Matthew Paulazzo suffered a broken wrist, ankle, pelvis, and some internal bleeding, after being struck head-on in a fatal car crash seven weeks ago. Speaking publicly last week on the accident. Paulazzo revealed of the crash:
“Schtuff happens sometimes. So grateful to all my friends and family who have reached out the past 7 weeks. Im overwhelmed by the love…what a lovely dilemma to have. 🙂 My love to all of you. Lucky to scoot away with a broken wrist, ankle, and pelvis with some minor internal bleeding. I was hit head in by a fella on the wrong side of the road with no headlights on the highway…sadly he did not survive. I hope above all he has found peace. ❤️
Getting back in my feet with lots to get done. See yall soon!”
In light of his injuries and ongoing recovery, The Zenith Passage have enlisted the services of Max Sepulveda (Exterminatus, etc.) to fill-in on this year’s impending ‘Chaos & Carnage Tour‘. The Zenith Passage commented yesterday, April 27th:
“Our good buddy @matthewpaulazzo was involved in a pretty horrific car accident which, unfortunately, is hindering him from playing with us on @chaosandcarnagetour Thankfully Matt will be making a full recovery and we’re just grateful for his health and ability to bounce back and get on the kit soon!
With that being said, we’d like to introduce you to @maximilian_sepulveda who’s stepping up to play for TZP on C&C and has been busting his ass getting everything to 💯
