Ep. 05 - In Conversation with Skyler Mills (W.M.D, Ravenous EH, & The Outlaws of Ravenhurst)
In the second episode of our "๐๐ฏ ๐๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ๐ด๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ธ๐ช๐ต๐ฉ..." 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 ๐.๐.๐ (๐๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฏ ๐๐ช๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ด ๐๐ฆ๐ท๐ฆ๐ญ๐ฐ๐ฑ) & guitarist of both ๐๐๐ฏ๐๐ง๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐.๐ and ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ญ๐ฅ๐๐ฐ๐ฌ ๐จ๐ ๐๐๐ฏ๐๐ง๐ก๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฌ๐ญ. ย
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 ๐.๐.๐'๐ฌ 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. ย Their new EP is called ๐๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฎ ๐๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ด๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ด which is near completion and the band already has a hand full of songs for their follow up album to 2018's debut album ๐๐ฆ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ญ ๐๐ฆ๐ท๐ฆ๐ฏ๐จ๐ฆ. ย
Crack a beer and come hang out with us! ๐ฃ
