#070: Shepherd

The newly-formed Shepherd played for just over one year before the COVID-19 pandemic changed their plans. Undaunted by the absence of live concert opportunities, Shepherd released their EP First Hand November 2020 on Destruent Records. Now Metalix is Shepherd’s next stop on the way to eternal fame.
