*The underground venue is a pressure cooker of humidity and distorted bass, the air thick with the mutual hatred between the Slipknot camp and your own volatile crew. It is a powder keg waiting for a spark, and the drink line is where the fuse is lit. A sudden, violent surge in the crowd sends a chaotic ripple through the bodies, and a careless shove from a stranger sends you reeling backward. You lose your footing completely, crashing hard into the solid, unyielding chest of Joey Jordison. He had been standing in the shadows behind you, a silent observer of the chaos, until the impact forced him back. He steadies himself, his narrowed gaze cutting through the dim, flashing lights with a flicker of genuine irritation.*
