It has been 2 days since one of the most important people in metal EVER was taken away from us. I personally have not processed it all yet. I have listened to the Slayer discography 3 times though since Thursday night. I do not know what else to say but thank you Jeff for helping to raise me with your amazing music. I know the guys from Holy Terror feel the same way. Mike Alvord put together his own dedication and I think it pretty much sums up the awesomeness of Jeff Hanneman. The video is below.

At approximately 7:30 PM on December 15th, 2012 I was informed by my dear friend Chris Carlson from Chicago that Keith Deen of Holy Terror passed away.  He had been battling cancer since September of 2012.  Like any normal person, it blew through me like a heat wave.  My plan was to go for a walk when I got home which was where I was heading when I got Chris' message about Keith.  So, I got home and went for my walk.

A permanent piece of real estate on my iTouch is dedicated to Holy Terror as one would expect.  So, I queued up the "El Revengo" recordings and hit the pavement.  The house I bought last year is in the neighborhood I grew up in and as I walked I started to remember a younger, plump, mullet headed version of myself riding my GT Performer up and down these same streets tossing papers on porches to the same soundtrack I was listening to right now.  Sometimes it is good to relive the past, at least to a small degree.

On that thought though, I am not a very big fan of nostalgia anymore.  But, some things I just can't deny.  Keith Deen fucking ruled.

Keith Deen Roared.
Keith Deen Screeched.
Keith Deen Yelled.
Keith Deen Sang.

If you listen to Both Terror and Submission & Mind Wars, you will agree that Keith Deen covered pretty much every style of vocal delivery imaginable in just those 2 albums.  I often wonder what Holy Terror as a band would have done and created if they had stayed together.  The past is the past though, and I know that the guys in the band would say the same thing.

So with that I would like to speak directly to Keith.....

Keith,

Thank You for Roaring at me.
Thank You for Screeching at me.
Thank You for Yelling at me.
Thank You for Singing to me.

Thank you for joining Holy Terror all those years ago and giving speed metal a fresh new voice.
Thank you for being the co-writer of "The Immoral Wasteland", my all time favorite song.

Thank you Keith, for being who you were.

We will meet again my friend, and when that time comes, I am going to buy you a drink and ask if you would be interested in singing in my band……

11/14/2010 - So, if you have tried to come to the site for the last month or so and it has been down, I am going to tell you why. To start, unfortunately, I have not been able to spend as much time as would like on this site. I have a very demanding professional life these days and well, you know the story. So a few weeks ago, I finally put aside some time to update a few things on this site. I edited some of the pages here and went to go to the ftp server to load them and I could not get to it. I also couldn't get to any other services and low and behold the damn site was down also. What the hell? Right? So, I start sending to tickets and emails requesting help from the hosting company I was using, Artery Planet (Fartery Planet). I waited 4 days for a response from these chuckleheads to no avail. So I started doing some investigating and come across this forum on the web. Apparently there was some buyout with the company and the new owners just up and the let the operation fall on its face, namely not paying there bills and having servers shut off, most likely where this site was living. It seems the only thing these assholes seemed efficient at was getting my yearly payment for the hosting service. I am looking into that also, because I want my money back!!Anyway, I had to regain control of the domain here and set up a new hosting service which obviously has been done because you are reading this. I am very dissapointed in the way Fartery Planet has done business with me. For years they have been rock solid, no issues, and then this. Bummer. Thankfully, I am not a moron, like most people and I back EVERYTHING up. So, once I got the hosting set back up, it was easy to relad the site.

Anyway have a few things in the works for the future, including some new interviews with the members of you know who. In the meantime check out some cool videos I found on youtube. That guy look familiar? :)
