    My friend Mike Zucker and I recorded this in 2010. This album actually has an interesting back story. Mike was going to do something different with a spoken word/atonal album (odd, huh) so I laid down some drums for him to a click track. I told him he could do whatever he wanted with them and he didn't have to use them if he didn't feel like it. I assumed he would just use some small drum sections fading in and out of the spoken word.

    He went to Colorado the following week to attend their university, and decided to get a construction job to earn some extra cash in the few weeks before school started. After falling off a three story building on the job and breaking his back, he was in the hospital for a long time. During that time he brought in his guitar and some recording equipment and recorded the bass and two guitars. I guess he liked the drumming so much he decided to scrap the spoken word album, because he made a straight up album and ditched the spoken word theme. The doctors said he probably would never walk again, but he was up and about within a few months and eventually fully recovered. Hospital must have been a pain though because he named the album Hell On Earth. Funny thing is I'm a little jealous that he broke his back because now he can walk fine and still hold a guitar, receives workman's comp checks for permanent disability, and has a medical marijuana card. Guess you can't keep a good man down.
