At the same time, his attention to the smallest details was that of a completist who cared for what mattered most to them with abiding love. Second, he was a consummate performer who turned BDM shows into moving parties, death metal’s version of the late Hank von Hell of Turbonegro. Finally, he was a death metal fan, historian, and archivist of the highest order. With his passing, we haven’t just lost an integral part of a band and a charismatic frontman but one of the most informed and passionate advocates for underground music of any generation. Offstage, Strnad reminded you of the smartest guy who worked in the record store (which he was).

He seemed to be in a better place than he had when he’d done the interview a couple of months earlier. He’d been in a pretty dark place – he’d done an interview two or three months before, and it was brutally honest – he went really in-depth into how he’d been depressed and how hard the pandemic had been. We hung out before and after the show, we didn’t get shitfaced that night - their next show was in Los Angeles, so he didn’t want to be a mess. I was listening to it when we were working on The Blackening, and that one song had such an influence on that record - the way I started the record, the way I played some of the songs. Lyrics are the one thing I gravitate to, and he had some genius lyrics – and some fucked up ones too. This was the first time I hung out with the guy, and it was like I’d known him for 10 years.
