Chuck Profus (1963—2025)

It's been almost a month since Chuck Profus' passing. I didn't know him well but during the interview we did back in 2018 I met an easy going, humble and honest man. Chuck was definitely hell of a drummer who helped to create some of influential speed/thrash metal albums. So when I decided to cover the story of Agent Steel for my printed fanzine "Stay Heavy" I decided to get in touch not with Juan Garcia or John Cyriis but with Chuck (thanks to Karlos Medina of EvilDead and Agent Steel for making this possible!). Not that I didn't want to get Juan or John. I just wanted to interview the guy who was there from the very beginning of Agent Steel and had his own view on events and things that happened back then. And during two hours which we spent on Skype Chuck shared a lot of interesting facts and opinions. So here it is — a monument to Chuck Profusю Rest in peace, metal brother!
