In the second episode of our "đđŻ đđ°đŻđ·đŠđłđŽđąđ”đȘđ°đŻ đžđȘđ”đ©..." series we talk to a guy who's been to hell and back for his music. Skyler Mills is the founder of Canadian Thrash metal band đ.đ.đ (đđ©đŠđŻ đđȘđŻđ„đŽ đđŠđ·đŠđđ°đ±) & guitarist of both đđđŻđđ§đšđźđŹ đ.đ and đđĄđ đđźđđ„đđ°đŹ đšđ đđđŻđđ§đĄđźđ«đŹđ. Â
The last few years have brought on some of the hardest moments of his life, from attempted murder & arson, to almost losing a band mate to a serious accident. Fueled with ferocious energy following đ.đ.đ'đŹ recent USA tour, to a sold out crowd at the Whiskey a Go Go in Hollywood with Warbringer and Enforcer, the band have been working hard on new music.  Their new EP is called đđłđ°đź đđ©đŠ đđŽđ©đŠđŽ which is near completion and the band already has a hand full of songs for their follow up album to 2018's debut album đđŠđ”đ©đąđ đđŠđ·đŠđŻđšđŠ.
