Steve Albini was renowned for his work as a sound engineer, including recording Nirvana’s 1993 album “In Utero”, where Grohl was the drummer.

Throughout his career, Albini also made his mark as a musician, founding the punk band Big Black and later forming Shellac in 1992, a Chicago-based trio that was about to release a new album and embark on a tour before Albini’s death. His impact on music and his outspoken nature left a lasting impression on the industry and musicians alike.
