…At the Gates…
— A Battle of the bands at the Gates of Hell —
You are at the edge of the pit…
You see boiling magma…
There are clarion calls and demonic beasts…
The Gates of Hell.
Then, at the edge… a Jazzband begins to play…
The demons roil in discomfort…
The Jazzband continues and wins the day…
“A wild and glorious fanfare…”
“Badass Piece” – Donald Erb
