ERIK RUTAN IS A BRAVE DUDE

He’d have to be to sign on as the producer of the new Malevolent Creation album. After all, doing so means risking getting shot in the face.

In case you don’t recall, MC guitarist Phil Fasciana claimed last summer that he was a big hero after single-handedly stopping a convenience store robbery by shooting the perpetrator in the face. Accusations of the story being bullshit arose pretty quickly, and Fasciana responded by proving that he should never ever act as his own attorney.

Now Rutan – who has to be one of the most consistently inspiring forces in metal today – is set to start working in April on Malevolent Creation’s latest. While we pray he doesn’t piss off Fasciana and escapes with his grill intact, at least we know the new MC album will sound amazing.

No word on whether or not Rutan is being paid in chocolate milk.
