Let’s be real—the music industry is currently a joke. While the mainstream media is busy polishing the turds of industry plants, we’re out here dealing with the raw, unfiltered, and sometimes agonizing truth of the “metal life.”

This week, we deep-dive into the absolute fraud that is modern DIY production. Our long-time “friend” Randy Trask dropped off his new record, Buffonia 2026. But he didn’t just bring the music; he brought a $40 Walmart boombox and a dozen donuts because he’s so technologically finished he can’t even send an MP3.

What follows is a 6-hour descent into madness. We’re talking about “drum sounds” that sound like tin foil in a microwave and “vocals” that resemble a cat being strangled in a gym shower. It’s a total bloodbath of bad timing and zero substance. We love the guy, but someone has to tell the truth: this record is a technical snub to anyone with ears.
