One thing you have to respect about the metal community is that they look out for each other. Perhaps more than any other scene, metalheads stand united and when one of them falls the rest are there to help that person up. Case in point; Tony Lorenzo and the horrific tragedy that befell him a few monthes back. Tony was the victim of a cowardly and senseless shooting that left him partially paralyzed. Since that time a number of benefits have been held to help with Tony's medical expenses, including a two benefit concert being held at Club Infinity tonight and tomorrow night. The show features a who's who in the world of Death Metal including a Beyond Death reunion with the original lineup, Suffocation, Embalmer and many more. Here's the info. direct from the horses mouth.
