New Year, New Mayhem: Resolutions & Rituals


Listen Later

Buckle up, metalheads! We’re kicking off 2026 with a lethal dose of tequila, whiskey, and the heaviest tracks hitting the scene. In this episode, we’re diving deep into the "frozen prairie" deathcore of Canada’s From Beneath, the haunting melodies of Missouri’s Generation Z, and the anthemic fury of Texas warriors Lockjaw.

But it’s not just about the music—it’s about the chaos. We’re laying out our (highly questionable) New Year’s Resolutions, ranging from "Circle Pits of Politeness" to "Taco Bell soul-searching." Whether we're haunting the aisles of Hot Topic or letting crowd-surfers hit the floor "Drowning Pool style," we’re bringing the energy you need to survive the mosh pit.

🤘 The Playlist:

  • From BeneathMisbegotten (Brutal Deathcore from the Canadian prairies)

  • Generation ZSomething Wicked (Female-fronted intensity from Springfield, MO)

  • LockjawWe Won’t Back Down (A fist-raising anthem against corruption)

  • Epic DeathPoison (A grand, brutal Alice Cooper cover from Houston, TX)

  • End EverOl' 13 (Soberphobic)

    🔥 In This Episode:

  • Music Reviews: First impressions of the Diatribe demo and upcoming 2026 releases.

  • The Resolution Segment: Is not to get mad every time I see a metal band I like being sold at Hot Topic

  • Tour Talk: Upcoming shows and the concerts we’re dying to hit.

  • The Bar: Powered by Hornitos Tequila, Crown Royal, and White Claw (and maybe a drop of water... maybe).
