Skull’Rz singer returns
Staff report
AUSTINTOWN
Drew Johnson of local metal act Skull’Rz Bane soon will play his first show since last August, when he was severely injured in a knife attack by a man who had broken into his home.
Johnson’s band, Skull’Rz Bane, will play at Noday’s, 3713 Oakwood Ave., Austintown, on April 1 with special guests Vox Voronet. Skull’Rz Bane was a trio but is now a duo.
Johnson received massive slash wounds that opened up his abdomen in the attack. He and his daughter, Rox, (who also is in the band) had come home after a gig, when they realized that someone was in the house. As Johnson searched the rooms, his assailant sprang out and attacked him. The man fled but was later apprehended.
Johnson lost a lot of blood in the attack and suffered a collapsed lung and had to have part of his stomach removed. He spent several months recuperating.
