NOX SINISTER with Nathan Shapiro
Nox Sinister is hard to pin down into just one subgenre of heavy metal. They use a blend of techniques borrowed from NWOBHM, thrash, progressive, death and even power metal. The members of Sinister pride themselves on marrying aggression with theatricality, often using brutal thrashing riffs to tell complex stories with broad themes. Heavily inspired by the works of Shakespeare, dark fantasy, medieval history, comic book supervillains, and the world of horror movies, Nox Sinister seeks to create a new kind of sound and a new kind of live performance. Often using the phrase they have coined; "violent musical theatre,' Sinister is a force to be reckoned with both in the studio and on the stage.Something Rather Than Nothing Podcast

Rachael Renae
Rachael Renae I’m an artist, play enthusiast, and creativity facilitator based in Detroit, MI. I help creatives PRIORITIZE PLAY to overcome creative blocks, foster deeper connection, and confidently live big, juicy lives!I formally trained and worked as a civil engineer for over a decade, and my creative work stems from the lived experience of ignoring my creativity to pursue societal expectations. As a self-taught visual artist, I now challenge those expectations. My colorful, approachable objects and experiences offer a gentle invitation to see personal growth as curiosity and play as a tool for exhuming a buried sense of self.When I’m not facilitating creative workshops, talking on the Chaotic Creatives podcast, or in the studio making a papier-mâché project, I’m likely working on a quilt, gabbing with my pals over coffee, or binge-reading a fantasy romance book while cuddling my cats.
