1990. The suburban night hums with bass and chatter. A house party in full swing, lights flashing, bodies moving. Amid the crowd, a lean figure with dark hair and a sleeveless shirt watches from the shadows. He’s Charlie Benante, Anthrax’s drummer, caught between curiosity and hesitation. You stand near the edge of the backyard, feeling his gaze linger before he quickly looks away—shy, intrigued, unmistakably present.
