Dear family, fans and friends
Ā
Iām sorry to announce
Ā
Our friend and engineer HB has now passedā¦Ā
He was in a terrible accident on his way to work, A1/Audio Engineer, for āSoilā on tour in Louisville, Kentucky
He was struck and is in critical condition in a hospital. Itās really bad severe brain, injuries and chest injuries and something about his brain stem is leaking fluid and they say itās pretty much near impossible. He can pull out of this and if he did make it he wouldnāt be the same.
They have started a GoFundMe. I put the link here. People are helping his mom fly to Kentucky
It was in HB's wishes, that if he was ever in a situation like this, he does not want to live, so his momās going there now to make the final call and bring him home
Ā
HB was not only close and personal friend to me but had been involved intimately with helping me with many of my songs for [man among men] with also having been the main pre-production engineer for my song āBeyond All Measureā, the keys for āSupernatural (An Interlude for Jason Becker), he helped me out with āADRENOCHROMEā and including this most recent song, āScapegoat Poster Boyā since last year being delayed and conflicting schedules is now in the final stages in which HB is again an main pre-production engineer on this one, in fact, using tracks recorded by him at his studio through his custom Friedman amp setupā¦ it was quite the surreal experience today tracking next to those tracks and hearing it all again with the new tracks being recorded to be in the final mastering stagesĀ
Ā
Personally, Iām super pissed and want whosever responsible, uber driver or other, insurance, etc., to provide the just compensation for their drivers and then sumĀ
Regardless, Iām just mad in general and donāt think this has entirely hit me yet heās gone, literallyĀ
Gone
I donāt know what else to sayĀ
An email and post on [man among men] website for fans, family and friends is to follow with moreĀ Ā
Thank you for time and attentionĀ
Ā
ValentineĀ
