Infected Rain is not just dropping a new album; they are entering a "Mutation Phase," and lead singer Lena Scissorhands is here to give Loaded Radio the raw, unfiltered details.

On the latest Loaded Radio Podcast, Lena confirms a new album is imminent, breaks down the chaotic energy of their upcoming 2026 co-headlining European and UK tour with Butcher Babies, and dives deep into her stunning new collaboration with Lord Of The Lost.

This is the definitive pre-album interview that sets the stage for one of modern metal's most unpredictable artists. Don't scroll past the player—this interview is a must-listen for anyone tracking the evolution of modern heavy music.

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.

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.

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.

Avatar has dropped their tenth studio album, Don't Go In The Forest, which arrived back on October 31. Frontman Johannes Eckerström is adamant that this is not just "another album," but a "necessity" born from exploring "forbidden thoughts" and new sonic territory. The band is pushing their sonic limits with their "most clearly progressive parts ever" and even piano.

We've got the man himself, Johannes Eckerström, on the Loaded Radio Podcast this week to dig into the surreal, dream-like nature of the new record. Listen to the full, exclusive interview here.

In a brand new, exclusive interview for the Halloween edition of the Loaded Radio podcast, Type O Negative co-founder and guitarist Kenny Hickey dropped two bombshells for the band's massive fanbase:

1. A new Type O Negative live album, compiled from classic-era recordings featuring Peter Steele, is officially "in the works."

2. "Active talks" for a potential Peter Steele tribute concert have been taking place among the surviving members.

Hickey also dove into his current heavy projects, the doom-metal outfit Silvertomb and his other active band, Sun Don'T Shine.

In the grand theater of heavy metal, moments arise when the tectonic plates of the genre shift, heralding the arrival of something monumental. This is one of those moments. This week, two of the most formidable forces in modern metal, Sweden's power metal titans Sabaton and Finland's melodic death metal masters Omnium Gatherum, are launching major campaigns with the announcement of highly anticipated new albums. These are not mere record releases; they are strategic deployments of sonic force, meticulously crafted to conquer new territory and fortify their legacies.

At the helm of these campaigns are two of the genre's most respected commanders: Sabaton frontman Joakim Brodén and Omnium Gatherum's founding guitarist Markus Vanhala. This week's edition of The Loaded Radio Podcast brings these two masterminds together for an exclusive deep-dive conversation, a rare summit where the architects of war anthems and melancholic requiems share their strategies, their philosophies, and the stories behind their new masterworks.

This week's Loaded Radio Podcast features exclusive interviews with Hayley Roughton, the dynamic vocalist of Texas metal band Gore., and Drew Arnold, the bassist/guitarist for Ohio's brutal death metal unit Sanguisugabogg.

Hayley Roughton discusses the intense emotional turmoil behind Gore.'s upcoming EP, If You Do Not Fear Me…, and breaks down the lead single, "Wrath," explaining how it serves as a culmination of themes from their previous work.

Drew Arnold gives us the inside scoop on Sanguisugabogg's punishing new album, Hideous Aftermath, detailing the creative process and the blood-curdling new single, "Abhorrent Contraception."
