Biography

He is a childhood friend of Manowar singer Eric Adams.[4] DeMaio played bass in several school bands. In the 1970s he toured with the musical Godspell (premiere in 1971 in New York City), taking musical lessons with the conductor.[5] He worked as a pyro-tech for Black Sabbath during their "Heaven and Hell" tour.[6][7]

In 2006, shortly after creating the record label Magic Circle Music, he became a manager of the Italian metal band Rhapsody of Fire.[8] He is also a producer for the band HolyHell.[9]

gollark: What if you just virtualize the filesystem for every single program?
