We're Back with Left To Suffer And Dead Poet Society: Two New Albums
Heavy Metal News & Interviews: The Loaded Radio PodcastShow Notes
Left To Suffer guitarist Peter Higgs joins the show days before Unwelcome Guest, the Atlanta band's first album for Hopeless Records, mid-way through a 32-date tour opening for Dying Fetus and Sanguisugabogg. Who "STFU" was really aimed at, why the new record has one guest feature instead of several, what Hopeless changed, and which song he's most nervous to play live. Then Dead Poet Society frontman Jack Underkofler on Monarch, out now on Spinefarm: producer Paul Meany of Mutemath, the fight over "Lost," what "djent pop" actually means, how a Mexican blog broke the band before America noticed, and who's the best live band right now. The co-headline tour with Honey Revenge starts October 23. The Loaded Radio Podcast is Loaded Radio's weekly interview show with the biggest names in rock and metal, hosted by Scott Penfold.

Sonic Temple 2027 is out: nearly 150 acts, May 13–16 in Columbus, with Iron Maiden (one of the last two Run For Your Lives shows), Korn, Blink-182 and Falling In Reverse on top and Alice In Chains, Faith No More, Meshuggah, Testament, Mastodon, Blood Incantation and Knocked Loose underneath. Scott Penfold on why a pop-punk Thursday headliner is the right call for the heaviest Sonic Temple yet.
Sharon Osbourne says Ozzy's doctors warned that Back To The Beginning "would kill him," that Ozzy answered "I know I'm dying... I want to go this way," and that she never told Black Sabbath or her own children how sick he was. Scott Penfold on why that was the right call, with the Back To The Beginning film in theaters October 28.
Nirvana's Nevermind has passed AC/DC's Back In Black to become the sixth best-selling album of all time, by one thousand copies: 66,832,000 equivalent album sales to 66,831,000, per Chartmasters. AC/DC still lead on physical copies, 37 million to 30 million. Scott Penfold on how the count works, why the streaming number is the honest one, and the fact that should bother everyone: nothing released since 1991 is in the all-time top ten.
Slipknot drummer Eloy Casagrande says Clown told him on day one, "you don't have to be concerned about playing everything right," that the band "don't want to have another Joey in the band," and that the Brazilian rhythms Clown once shut down are now going into the studio. Scott Penfold on why that's the most important thing anyone has said about the next Slipknot album.
Sleep Token have broken a year of silence with a rare statement saying they have "no affiliation with any outside musical project that invokes this name" and that such claims "are not made with our blessing." The band never names a target; fans are pointing at Arcus, a mystery project teased last month as being "from the co-creator of Sleep Token."
