In early 2013, Shrout joined Kansas City metallic hardcore band "Renouncer". The text, in verses 18 to 24 describes the state of liberated renouncer. Feeding and dressing his "Prana" (life force) is the only duty of the renouncer. The primordial Brahman, states sutra 40 of the text, is self-knowledge for the renouncer. He was a sannyasi (renouncer) who believed in the infallible authority of the Vedas.
