    Kyle Rittner used to be the road manager for White Hammer back in the day. Now he gets an offer to manage them again. The band is ready to take on the road and tour the States in hopes to make a comeback. And it's all possible, as long as the band listens to Kyle about what songs to play and what not to.

      The vernacular of a musician is sometimes a bit mysterious, weird, comedic or just generally inaccessible to the ‘layman’. On the one hand, there are terms like ‘accelerando’ or many others that are part of a widely accepted musical lexicon that have

      Kvlt purists might argue that Cradle of Filth aren’t really black metal, but Dani Filth doesn’t really care. After all, he’s played – and partied – with just about every major extreme metal band to come out of Europe since the early 90s, and seen his

      Chapter 1

      Getting back in the Business

      Kyle Rittner sat in the break room smoking his cigarette with the rest of the factory workers. He flicked his ashes in the shared ashtray.

      Come on Kyle tell us again, Eric asked. Kyle wondered if he wanted to really hear the story again or if he just wanted to hear his accent.

      Oh I don’ ‘now. I’ve told it already, Kyle blew out a blue trail.

      Yeah, I know, but hearing that you managed White Hammer is cool, better than Larry’s stories about his bitch of a wife, Erick said. Larry nodded in agreement.

      All right then, Kyle answered. So I was drummin’ in this band back in the day right? When I met up with this bloke who invited me to this party after the show, I was younger then so I says, ‘sure, I’ll be there with bells on.’ Turns out he was the lead guitar player for White Hammer. They weren’t anything back then, just another band struggling to make it. Only thing was they were American trying to cut into the London scene so naturally the girls swept to them like a flame to a moth. So I go to this party and it has a room full of slags all ready to shag.

      Eric started laughing, Did you hear that? Slag, what the hell’s a slag?

      Come off it, I’ve told you before, you know what it means.

      Yeah but, I just like the sound of it. Larry your wife’s a slag! Eric slapped the table. Larry looked more interested in Kyle’s story then Eric’s slam.

      "Right, nice one, anyway, make a long story short, we got to be friends and later I started managing the band on the road back in seventy-two, when music was experimental. For eighteen years I traveled the world with drugged up drunken rock stars shagging all the
