Scott Columbus is best remembered as a two-time drummer for popular American metal band, Manowar.  Formed in 1980, the band eventually built a worldwide following for their raw and heavy sound that has been likened to that of Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Hawkwind.  Their songs have tended to be aggressive and thematically violent, with the band dawning animal skins in concert to add to their primal image.  The band was once recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records for putting on the loudest concert, and for performing the longest metal concert which clocked in at just over five hours.  Columbus joined the band in 1983 but was forced to leave in 1990 to care for his ill son.  He rejoined the group in 1996 and stayed on board until 2008.  He made occasional concert appearances with them in recent years.  Scott Columbus was 56 when he passed away on April 4, 2011.  Cause of death was not immediately released.
