This is Reaction Series #27, where we dig into underground submissions and new releases across the heavy spectrum—Stockholm hardcore/powerviolence filth, modern hard rock/metal, tech-heavy metal drops, post-metal darkness, and forward-thinking prog metal. If you’re here for new metal bands, underground heavy music, and honest first-time reactions, you’re in the right place. Drop a comment with the band that hit you the hardest and what we should react to next.

Twenty years apart, three countries, and one drummer found by accident — that's just one story in this episode as we react to 6 underground metal bands: thrash, djent-metalcore, hardcore punk, and old-school death metal all in one sitting. Joined by Co Host Derek Hampton we cover a bit of everything.
Nobody pronounces their name right, so they changed it to "IATT". We sat down with I Am The Trireme — the Philly blackened-prog band critics call "the artist's artist" — to break down five albums, one wild recording retreat, and their upcoming genre-smashing epic.
Episode 31: we react to metal bands YOU submitted — deathcore from the Philippines, post-metal from Sweden, black/death metal inspired by the Salem witch trials, and more. Full honest reactions, no scripts. I am joined by a co- host Luke Forton- singer from Reinventing Yesterday
Jeff and I are back with round 2 of Swapped Bands — where we each bring 3 underground metal bands the other has NEVER heard and force a live reaction.
