        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A thrash metal drummer says he visited hell during a coronavirus-induced coma &#8212; and Satan wasn&#8217;t as cool as he thought.</p><p>Will Carroll, of the band Death Angel, was comatose at the California Pacific Medical Center for two weeks in March after catching the virus on a European tour earlier that month, <strong>according to the San Francisco Chronicle&#8217;s Datebook</strong>.</p><p>During that time, Carroll, 47, said he had disturbing dreams of visiting the afterlife.</p><p>There, the devil &#8212; a woman in this case &#8212; punished him for the deadly sin of sloth and turned him into a &#8220;Jabba the Hutt-like-monster&#8221; who vomited blood until he had a heart attack, the outlet reported last week.</p><p>When he opened his eyes on March 30, there were &#8220;tubes coming in and out of me, and there was a nurse right there,&#8221; Carroll recalled.</p><p>&#8220;My first words were, ‘Am I still in hell?’&#8221;</p><p>“She ignored me.”</p><p>For most of his time under and on a ventilator, Carroll was in critical condition and came close to dying, doctors told the outlet.</p><p>“He still was near the limits of what we could do with our supportive care, and we were very worried about him,” said Dr. George Horng, a pulmonologist.</p><p>“He wasn’t getting worse, but if he were to get worse, there wasn’t much more that we could have done.”</p><p>The Bay Area rocker&#8217;s near death-experience prompted him to make some big life changes.</p><p>In an effort to be healthier, he said he&#8217;s quitting hard alcohol and bong rips, narrowing his substance use to the occasional hard cider and marijuana edible.</p><p>As for his faith, Carroll said he now believes in a higher power — and feels prayers from his family and friends helped him pull through.</p><p>“I’m still going to listen to satanic metal, and I still love Deicide and bands like that,” Carroll told the Chronicle.</p><p>“As far as for my personal life and my experience of what I went through, I don’t think Satan’s quite as cool as I used to.”</p>]]></content:encoded>
