Los Angeles, CA based record label and very longtime HardRadio friends Metal Blade Records have collaborated with the hardworking and incredible team over at Rare Character Whiskey Company to release its own branded bourbon whiskey. Distilled in Indiana and aged in Kentucky, METAL BLADE'S VTO (VENTUNO) - STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY is a popular mashbill that we all know and love. Originating from Indiana, VTO's unique aging process in Kelvin Char 4 barrels within the bluegrass state exposes them to a wide range of temperature swings and humidity. This meticulous aging process results in a deep, dark, and rich bourbon with a complex flavor profile, featuring notes of vintage cherry cola and tobacco. All the details at bourbonoutfitter.com.

INTO THE VOID: LIFE, DEATH & HEAVY METAL is an eight-part docuseries premiering on Hulu on September 22.

Their intensely personal stories about finding success offer an intoxicating combo of volume and distortion delivered via pulsating tales of murder, addiction, rebellion and redemption.
