Since I’m not a metalhead, I wasn’t aware of the “sludge” variant.
Good vid on UTube going over ALL the events that led up to the incident, detailing that a lot of the “official” info doesn’t add up and may not be accurate.
The vid does a good job of comparing official reports, contradictory statements by the folks involved, and using public and court documents to try and sus out the truth.

here’s another, about 90 minutes. I have not watched the entire thing yet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZK9XthMZ1w
If you are 41 years old and still part of a “metal band” than you haven’t matured; you have arrested development.
Sorry all you aged millenials, gen x, y, z’s. but y’all have to give up sometime. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.
Well, good for you.
I bet yer fun at parties.
I am. I’m a fountain of wisdom and good advice…after the caffeine hits.
I’ll raise a glass for that man anytime.
I quit drinking but I may have to make an exception today
I think that he took his inspiration from this song…….

I couldn’t continue listening to him, I am tired of listening to men whose testosterone levels are below FJB and Kneepads kamala approval ratings and far below AOC’s intelligence quotient.
It’s never too early to tell your children, the story of Marvin Heemeyer
ps I thought I had added today to my calendar so thanks for this post
Definitely shows that we need a 7 day waiting period on bulldozer purchases, background checks and ignition locks. If it saves one life, it is worth it.
