A whole year and nothing, All because of self-hate, and excuses. I'm a creative and have to create! I got two deathtakes this episode. The first is Kublai Khan Tx, and the second is A Myspace Deathcore Revival! Tune in now! 

Mental health has been a big topic I have been wanting to dive into for a while now.  This is that podcast! Let's dive into a quick life update, and let me open up about my fear of death and a major life nightmare I experienced last year. 
I dedicate this podcast to my dear friend Sean Peterson who passed away this year.
And huge thanks to The Acacia Strain's music for helping me cope with life. 

Introduction of Death Takes - Hot Takes on Life
Death Takes on War, Mexicans with Identity Crisis, and AI for Creative Tools.  We dive into a bit of my family from Mexico City and some childhood memories. 
I also give a brief explanation of the self-judgment I had during the recording of It's Me Mario.  An an update on my week. 

A re-introduction of myself.  I'm a creative from San Antonio,  A first generation Mexican-American with love of deathcore, nerd stuff and cinema.  Listen to me ramble and vibe with me. 

It's been months since the last episode but we are diving straight into my Experience at the SoWhat? Music Festival. The Sowhat? Music Festival was in Arlington Texas and it was a 3-day Event. I watched some great bands and some not-so-good ones.  I also catch you up on some of my major life events.  

Lets talk about my top 5 Deathcore/Metalcore/Hardcore albums of 2021 and have you heard of all the hype in the alt scene. Let me catch you up! And what a time to be alive, music festivals are happening and I am all for alt rappers and bands coming together. So What!, When We Were Young, and Lookout Fest are festivals we need!

This is my story and should be used as a cautionary tale about how far domestic violence can go. Domestic violence can go on for years and sometimes it can end in complete chaos. After years of putting up with it, this night I said enough is enough. 

How do you arrive to the deathcore genre of music?  Well for me it was about finding the heaviest music.  It all started with rock, then slipknot, then suicide silence, and all lead to The Acacia Strain.

We Dive into my progression of music. I talk about one of the greats SS, And about The Welcome to Hell Tour in 2011 and Talk About The Acacia Strain's Wormwood Anniversary Show in San Antonio Tx.

We do a quick dive of the meaning behind deathcore nerd, and a jumbled up reason why I want to share my experiences with you.  Learn a bit of who is behind this podcast and try to keep up.
