As stated in the beginning of this video, I hope Trevor Strnad is resting peacefully. My heart goes out to all of his friends & family, as well as his brothers in TBDM.

Honestly, I don't know what else to say in this specific video description. The news about Trevor hit me harder than I thought it would, especially considering that I didn't really know him. 

I do want to give a quick shoutout / show some love to TBDM drummers: Shannon Lucas who played drums on this album, & Alan Cassidy who took over after Shannon's departure. Shannon is actually a friend of mine these days, & I spoke to him just recently. Alan I don't know if you'll ever read this, but you're sick as hell at the drums, man. I know we don't really know each other, but I've heard nothing but good things, & your playing speaks for itself. I hope you're both doing as alright as possible.

Lastly, I want to thank Declan White. In addition to mixing this video, Declan also helped me out with the vocal stem. Being that I originally intended on making this an instrumental playthrough, I had only the guitar / bass stems in my ProTools session. Then, while learning the song, I decided to timestretch a few of the faster parts down a few BPM (I was struggling, ya'll I either hit too hard these days, or I just don't have the speedchops that I used to). The problem with all of that was, when I then decided that I wanted to include the vocals, the original stem didn't lineup, & I wasn't sure of the best way to timestretch it to match. I asked Declan for help, & he was able to figure it out & make it work. So really, it's thanks to him that I was able to include the vocals at all, & given the circumstances that was important to me. So for real Declan, thank you for taking the time to help me with that.
 
Anyway, ya'll I'm going to deviate from my usual video descriptions for this one, & not rant on or include much else. No links / brand shoutouts. If you really want to know something about the kit, I'll try to respond in some comments. But for now, I just wanna shoutout & show love to the rad vocalist that inspired & influenced many of us in the metal community.

Rest in peace, Trevor.
