Step into the trenches with Shelby Eisenberg, the powerhouse Front of House Engineer for Wage War as we dive deep into what it takes to bring precision, brutality, and beauty to one of the tightest-sounding metalcore bands on tour today.

Shelby doesn’t just mix audio—he builds a battlefield, crafting a sound that hits hard, stays clean, and moves with the raw emotion of every breakdown and chorus. In this exclusive sit-down, Shelby unpacks his approach to mixing controlled aggression, his relationship with the band, and how he keeps the sonic intensity locked in night after night.

We’re talking massive guitars, thunderous drums, and vocals that cut through like a knife—and Shelby’s at the helm of it all.

🎧 Inside the Episode:
🎛️ Shelby’s unique approach to mixing heavy music with clarity
🔩 The gear, plugins, and systems behind Wage War’s crushing live sound
🧠 How he balances technical precision with emotional impact
🛠️ Real-world problem solving on the road
🤘 What it takes to thrive in the metalcore touring circuit

This isn’t just a tech talk—it’s a look into the craftsmanship behind chaos.
