| 5/5/26 | DAILY METAL BRIEFING: Cradle of Filth Legal War, 5FDP 20th Anniversary Tour & Greta Van Fleet Breakup Panic! | On today's episode, we dive into a massive shakeup in the world of gothic metal as Cradle Of Filth officially welcomes new guitarist Joff Bailey amidst a messy, ongoing legal battle with former members. We also break down the huge announcement from Five Finger Death Punch regarding their 20th Anniversary World Tour for 2027, featuring Lamb of God and Bleed from Within, and investigate the cryptic social media post from Greta Van Fleet that has fans convinced the band is calling it quits. Show Notes: Cradle Of Filth's New Era: Dani Filth and company officially welcome Joff Bailey to the fold, but the shadow of a high-profile lawsuit from Marek "Ashok" Šmerda and Zoe Marie Federoff still looms over the band's upcoming 15th studio album. Five Finger Death Punch: 20 Years of the Battleship: The band announces their massive 2027 UK/European tour dates and teases their tenth studio album and a brand-new single arriving this month. Greta Van Fleet's "Wild Ride": Is it a breakup or a brilliant marketing pivot? We analyze the "farewell" video and the hidden clues that suggest new music is on the horizon despite the fan panic. Stay Loud: Details on how to get your hands on 5FDP tickets and where to catch Cradle Of Filth on the 'Majestic In Death' tour right now.

Both bands had momentum—and chose not to repeat it. Damiani dives into the themes behind Don Broco's most unpredictable release yet, including the politically charged "True Believers," while Saller explains why Atreyu leaned into their heaviest sound to date and how writing sessions in Tokyo and total isolation shaped the record. This conversation goes beyond surface-level promo. It gets into risk, identity, and why both bands decided to push forward instead of playing it safe. If you've followed either band for years, this is the kind of insight you don't usually get. | — | ||||||

Alongside the in-depth conversation with Mike Hranica, this episode also dives into major developments across the hard rock and metal landscape.

Lee, and Zakk Wylde, and discussing new music. The episode also features host Scott Penfold breaking down the latest heavy metal news, including the new Bruce Dickinson solo album, Deftones' catalog deal, the Motley Crue/Mick Mars verdict, and the Grammys' ongoing relationship with metal. I've interviewed a lot of metal musicians over the years, but some conversations carry a different kind of weight. This one does. This week on the Loaded Radio Podcast, we're joined by Bob Daisley — a foundational architect of heavy metal whose fingerprints are all over some of the genre's most iconic records, yet whose name is still too often left out of the mainstream narrative. And for the first time in a long while, Bob isn't dodging the uncomfortable stuff. | — | ||||||
| 1/25/26 | Chase Wilson of Ov Sulfur joins The Loaded Radio Podcast | The "Second Coming" of deathcore isn't just a trend—it's a hostile takeover. As giants like Whitechapel and Lorna Shore redefine the genre's boundaries, Ov Sulfur has emerged as the next definitive force with their sophomore tour-de-force, Endless.

Attila Csihar joins The Loaded Radio Podcast to discuss mayhem's seventh studio album, Liturgy Of Death, arriving February 6, 2026. In this visceral interview, Attila reflects on the band's 40-year legacy of church burnings, murder, and the bleak reality of mortality. There is "heavy," and then there is Mayhem. Sitting across from Attila Csihar for this episode of The Loaded Radio Podcast, the air in the room felt different. You aren't just talking to a vocalist; you are talking to a man who stepped into the center of a literal crime scene and helped forge it into a global movement. Liturgy Of Death (2026) is a merciless record that turns the focus toward the finality of existence. It is dark, fast, and entirely without solace. But to understand where they are going, you have to look at the wreckage they left behind. From the suicide of Dead to the internal war that led to the death of Euronymous, this isn't just music—it's a survival story from the darkest corners of the human psyche. Stick around after the interview for a segment that has been generating a lot of buzz. Host Scott Penfold delivers an incredibly entertaining and in-depth breakdown of the "Bands to Watch in 2026." If you're tired of the same three bands headlining every "new music" playlist, Scott's look at the up-and-coming hard rock and metal acts is the definitive roadmap you need. This isn't a list generated by an algorithm—it's a curated look at the next generation of chaos. | — | ||||||
| 12/28/25 | Volumes Interview: Michael Barr on 'Mirror Touch', The Top Metal Albums of 2025 | For 15 years, Volumes has stood as a pillar of progressive metalcore, weathering lineup shifts and industry trends to amass over 167 million U.S. streams.

| 11/26/25 | Danko Jones on the Loaded Radio Podcast: Why Leo Rising is Just Another Page from the Motörhead Handbook | n a candid interview with Loaded Radio, Danko Jones discusses the band's new album, Leo Rising (out November 21, 2025), and his commitment to the "recording, touring, writing, repeat" process, which he calls his "page out of the Motörhead handbook." We dive deep into how he managed the geographically separated recording with John Calabrese and Rich Knox, the blistering guest solo by Marty Friedman on "Diamond In The Rough," and how his deep, personal connection to KISS continues to fuel his career. The frontman confirms the new album is "another serving of peerless hard-rock: bass, drums, guitar, vocals, no frills." The full podcast is embedded below, where he also talks about how he keeps the band's chemistry "tight, loud, and built for the stage" despite the distance. | — | ||||||
| 11/20/25 | Of Mice & Men on "Another Miracle": The Loaded Radio Podcast | Of Mice & Men have just dropped their ninth studio album, Another Miracle, and it is arguably their most personal record to date. In this week's episode of the Loaded Radio Podcast, frontman Aaron Pauley and drummer Tino Arteaga join us to discuss self-producing the new album, the launch of "Micespace," and why they refused to hire a big-name producer for this chapter of the band. If you have been following the trajectory of Of Mice & Men, you know they don't do things by half-measures. From the metalcore explosion of the early 2010s to becoming a staple of modern hard rock, this Southern California quartet has survived lineup changes, health scares, and industry shifts. But with their ninth studio album, Another Miracle (out now via Century Media Records), they are doing something different: they are taking complete control. This isn't just another press cycle. In this week's Loaded Radio Podcast, I sat down with vocalist/bassist Aaron Pauley and drummer Tino Arteaga to dig deep into why they decided to write, produce, engineer, mix, and master this entire record themselves. No big-name producers. No outside writers. Just four guys in a room, pouring their lived experiences into a sonic weapon. | — | ||||||
| 11/11/25 | Dying Wish's Emma Boster Talks 'Flesh Stays Together' on the Loaded Radio Podcast | Portland's metalcore titans Dying Wish have unleashed their monstrous new album, Flesh Stays Together. The album, produced by Will Putney (Knocked Loose), is a masterclass in brutality that solidifies the band's spot at the top of the genre. This week on the Loaded Radio Podcast, Scott sits down with frontwoman Emma Boster for an in-depth conversation. We discuss the creation of the new album, the "ominous beauty" behind her clean vocals, the story behind that nightmarish album cover, and managing one of the biggest years of her life. In the world of heavy music, there are bands that are "hot," and then there are bands that are a blazing inferno. Right now, Dying Wish is the inferno. Following their acclaimed 2023 album Symptoms of Survival, the Portland, Oregon band has returned with Flesh Stays Together, a record that isn't just a follow-up—it's a statement of intent. This is the album that proves they are ready to follow their collaborators in Knocked Loose from the big rooms into the arenas. At the heart of this sonic assault is vocalist Emma Boster. And this week, she joins the Loaded Radio Podcast for a can't-miss conversation. | — | ||||||
| 11/2/25 | Avatar's Johannes Eckerström Dives Deep Into New Album on The Loaded Radio Podcast | Avatar has dropped their tenth studio album, Don't Go In The Forest, which arrived back on October 31.
