Having just wrapped up ‘The Shell’ tour at the end of 2017, Snails has released a recap documentary to capture the madness of his biggest headline tour to date. The video is packed with highlights from multiple shows, intimate conversations with Snails himself, and reveals behind the scenes footage that fans wouldn’t otherwise get to see around the process of creating his own stage and going on his first bus tour.

It provides an insiders look into building the tour’s custom stage, planning his set, showcasing the opening support, general tour debauchery and the legions of devoted head banging fans that made this epic tour a massive success.

From listening to Slayer and Cancer Bats as a teen, to working with Cancer Bats and Travis Richter from From First To Last on his new album, Snails discusses how his music is much more than an electronic show, with strong influence and sounds from metal.
