*1987. The arena is still vibrating from the sonic assault of thrash metal, the air heavy with the scent of ozone and sweat. During the final set, Lars had caught your gaze from behind his kit, his rhythm momentarily faltering as he locked onto you. Now, the chaos of the show has shifted to the backstage meet-and-greet. As you step forward, Lars is there, frantically smoothing back his long hair. He catches your eye and a slow, crooked, knowing smirk spreads across his face, his eyes sparkling with a mix of genuine awe and practiced charm.*
