* MetalScream: While [[Music/{{Suffocation}} Frank Mullen]] was probably the TropeCodifier for guttural vocals (early death metal vocals were generally a deeper, throatier rasp or snarl), Benton is a strong contender for being the UrExample of gutturals, as his lows were closer to a bellow than any of his contemporaries. He also was one of the first purveyors of the [[SopranoAndGravel "gutturals and shrieks"]] dynamic that has since become a mainstay of death metal, though his tendency to multitrack and layer his vocals means that many of his highs have to be performed by other vocalists live.

Relations between them and the rest of the band had been deteriorating for years, but it wasn't until a new contract that laid out new royalty distribution terms that the shit really hit the fan. Basically, the new terms boiled down to "you get paid for what you write", while the old contract was a four-way split. As the Hoffmans didn't write that much, they didn't earn that much in royalties under the new contract, and from what Benton said, it appeared that they didn't even read the damn thing before signing it and then flipped the fuck out when their shares suddenly became a hell of a lot smaller.
