Hey! Been a long time since i posted in here, so much so that i had to register again!!
Benny is a very close friend of mine, and he is doing really well. He has a studio at home and still writes and records. Actually has recorded a couple of things with Kim Ruzz, which you may all get to hear at some point soon. Kim Ruzz is doing really well too.
Benny wrote Burning the Cross under a different title, actually a few years prior to joining Mercyful Fate. What you hear is exactly what Benny wrote, apart from a little addition from Hank. King changed the lyrics and the title of the song, but everything else is all Benny. He still has the original lyric sheet, prior to the change. There should also be a recording on one of his demo tapes of the song in its original form.
Yes, he wrote and recorded 3 albums with Jackal. Check them out on Youtube, as they are amazing albums and musicians. Unfortunately, Brian (the vocalist) passed away a few years ago.
Stay heavy guys!
