Series SynopsisRock N Roll will die! Kill Audio, on the other hand, can’t. He’s an immortal troll charged with rebalancing musical creativity in the world of Sight & Sound. But things are easier said than done in a place where nothing is what it seems, leaving Kill Audio to track down the musical “fathers” of every genre, while a dark conspiracy keeps them perpetually hidden. With the help of a talking pillow, a skeleton in a beaver suit, and a drug-addled chicken, Kill Audio is determined to set things right. But who defines what’s “right”? From the creator of the best-selling THE AMORY WARS!
