Well something weird happened at work the other day. I found myself in the presence of a master. Well let's put this in perspective first of all. I don't go around work proclaiming what i like. Some guys there know I like Transformers but not to the degree. No one there knew what kind of music I listen to either, forget the fact my car has tons of metal stickers on it.
Well one of the sales guys was on the end of his two week notice and it was halloween. I wasn't wearing a costume really but I used it as an excuse to wear a Venom shirt to work. So then I talked to the sales guy and he's like "i didn't know you listened to metal" and then tells me he is in a band. So I get to talk to him about the music industry so I had to tell him I used to be a metal promoter and then we exchange the whole "do you know this guy" thing.
Afterwards I found out his band is Beyond Death and they just got back together after 18 or 16 years (I forget). He says he's got Alex and Jack and are working on a new album.
For those who do not know, the band Beyond Death, from Buffalo NY featured people such as Alex Webster, Jack Owen, Frank Lombardi and Chris Barnes, most of which (Alex, Jack and Chris) went on to form Cannibal Corpse with Paul Mazurkiewicz and Rob Rusay, and to a degree Glen Benton (from Niagara Falls) who started up Deicide. Well since they are getting back together this means I will finally get my chance to meet Alex and Jack.
It was a really weird thing since I had worked with Frank for nearly 8 months now and had no idea.
