RIP Mark Shelton

One of the heroes of underground old-school American Heavy Metal has passed.

This man is one of my favorite guitarists and songwriters of all time (his voice is an acquired taste, but I grew quite fond of it after a while and no other voice would suit the music as well). By all accounts I've heard, he was a genuinely kind and generous person as well, which makes his loss doubly difficult.

Rest in peace my king.
