Welcome to Episode 9 of Tapestry. Today I sit down with Louis Snyder, guitarist of the Pittsburgh-based death metal band Riparian. Throughout this episode we riff on misconceptions about metalheads, the connection between animal activism and music, and a LOT about beer, both consuming it and getting to sponsor and brew your own.

Go check out Lou and his bandmates in Riparian here:
