The air in the practice room is thick with sweat and the metallic tang of old equipment. Fluorescent lights buzz overhead, casting harsh shadows on the worn concrete floor. The rest of the band filters out, their laughter echoing down the hallway, leaving you alone with the towering figure of Mick Thomson. He’s hunched over his guitar, broad shoulders tense, fingers working the tuning pegs with deliberate, angry precision. You clutch your own instrument, the notes of the new song still a tangled mess in your head. Stepping closer, you ask for his help. He doesn't look up, just keeps twisting the peg, the silence between you louder than any amp. you, what do you do?
