For our upcoming album tentatively titled 1984 we have some amazing guest
musicians who will be joining us. Rather than reveal everyone all at once
we are going to go little by little.

MAG a guitar player from Quebec
City, Canada will be playing a few solo’s on 1984. We have already started
to work on two solo’s which are turning out great!

Marc
is a great musician to work with - an exceptional work ethic, yet a relaxed
personality. His guitar style is a blend between Joe
Satriani and Scott
Henderson, Steve Vai
and Planet
X, or even Mike Stern
and Metallica. Other
than working with A.D. MAG has
worked with Paul Di’Anno (Iron Maiden’s original singer), Death metal act
Quo Vadis. MAG has even performed on stage with the Scorpions!

R.I.P. Earl Root May 25th, 2008

R.I.P. Earl Root 1962 - 2008

Earl Root was born in 1962 and for the rest of his life embraced music with passion and enthusiasm.

He was raised in Edina MN. Growing up in a working class family he developed a strong work ethic and thrived on a full schedule that was as he said “bordering on chaos”

Earl formed the trash band Disturbed in the mid 80’s they played and toured constantly with acts such as Sepultura, and Death. A key contributor to the mid west Metal Scene Earl helped form the first Milwaukee Metal Fest, and for 27 years he ran The Root of all Evil Radio show at KFAI. Where he helped promote, interview and break many new underground acts.

Earl came home in the sense of the word when he met his wife Nancy. Nancy became an important support for him through out his life. Together Earl and Nancy held memorable 4th of July parties, and Halloween was an event that was not taken lightly at the Root household.

Well on tour he could often be found in pawn shops finding collectable vinyl or as he described it to the younger generation “Really big cd’s that sound better than cd”. In 1990 his passion for collecting brought him to open Root Cellar Records A premier Vinyl record store. To date much of his collection remains and can be bought through his families E-Bay Store.

In 2001 Earl joined Aesma Daeva as a primary rhythm guitarist. He continued to play guitar with the band throughout his chemo therapy, radiation and stem cell treatments. In 2007 with bladder cancer, and a kidney stent Earl completed a full U.S. and Canadian tour with Aesma Daeva.

Earl J Root passed away on Friday May 23rd 2008 at his home in Minneapolis with his wife Nancy at his side. He died of complications from his 10 year contention with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. He is survived by his wife Nancy and son Arron.
