This week's episode features Leper Shepherd from Metallic Hardcore Outfit Take Life
Bio:
"A collaborative effort between vocalist/lyricist Rob Fusco (One King Down, Most Precious Blood, Recon) and Rafe Holmes (Insvrgence), Take Life is the focus of decades of metal/hardcore songwriting experience and unbridled expression. Boasting the feral, frenetic musical energy of bands like Kiss It Goodbye and Burnt By The Sun and the scathing lyrical content and emotive vocal performances which have been Fusco's trademark, Take Life sets itself apart from modern formulaic metalcore acts and opts to take creative risks with little regard for current trends. Their inaugural effort, YOU ARE NOWHERE, was produced, mixed, and mastered by legendary metalcore mastermind RANDY LEBOEUF and is slated for digital release worldwide on 2.11.22. The vinyl version of YOU ARE NOWHERE will be released by Translation Loss Records, and its visual elements, layout, and logo have been produced and designed by graphics veteran Mike Wohlberg who has garnered respect through his work for bands like Cannibal Corpse, The Acacia Strain, and Dying Fetus."What Take Life are drinking:
"We don't drink, but we're all about raising a bottle of seltzer or can of Yerba Mate with anyone regardless of what they like to enjoy."
This week's Beer Breakdown include Texas Beer Company's Hoppy Duck IPA (Todd's Pick) and 18th Street Brewing Company's Cradle to the Grave Red Velvet Inspired Pastry Stout (Arie's Pick).
