My first proper band were 'courted' by a gentleman who assured us he had 'contacts' and could easily get us a deal with East West records - which appealed to us as we were very much in the Pantera mould (or tried to be).
This chap came to see us play a couple of times and then vanished. We heard that he'd died.
Luckily for us it wasn't sinister in any way - he didn't ask for any money or get us to sign anything. I think deep down we all knew it was nonsense but it made us feel good about the band for a bit.
Of course, he may have been telling the truth all along but died before he was able to propel us to stardom...
Having played @Wolverinebass 's X Ultra, I agree with this, although unfortunately I struggled to find a tone I was happy with. But then, me and Darkglass have never really got on.
The Dug is pretty much there straight away.
