Producer/mixer/engineer Steve Evetts was hit with some apparent terrible news yesterday, May 03rd. A massive fire broke out in Belleville, NJ yesterday afternoon, and appears to have gutted his Belleville recording studio. ABC 7 report that the blaze reached 11 alarms and was fueled in part by strong winds and chemicals found in a neighboring warehouse. The local Mayor declared a state of emergency as the fire spread roughly a block.
Evetts, known for his work with countless metal and hardcore bands, including Hatebreed, Snapcase, Sepultura, The Dillinger Escape Plan and countless others, took to social media yesterday, May 03rd, to say:
“Well, my Sunday just took an interesting turn. I don’t know too many details as of yet, but it seems my studio is gone. I can’t get in there as it’s still on fire….More to follow as I know.”
