Welcome back to another heavy edition of The Metal Maniacs Podcast, hosted by Jay Ingersoll and Modd! In our 121st episode we return with the 21st installment of our reaction series, diving deep into the underground to discover the rawest, heaviest, and most experimental sounds emerging from across the globe. We give our first-time, unscripted reactions to their newest singles, music videos, and releases. Whether it’s spine-shattering breakdowns, eerie electronic atmospheres, or groove-soaked riffs, you’re going to hear a wild mix of what the underground metal world is thriving on right now.Here’s who we’re reacting to in this episode:🔥 Dollflesh (Brazil – Industrial Metal) Industrial savagery from Brazil, blending crushing riffs, electronics, and digital decay. With singles like “Zero” and “White Noise”, Dollflesh delivers an atmosphere that feels like a breakdown happening inside a haunted server.Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/0HsbzLq0Qt3QeaigYM7bBI?si=xmJA6nthRfKPWYZp4NlSbQYouTube: https://youtube.com/@dollflesh1🔥 Ten Low (Germany – Metal/Hardcore) Formed in 2025, Ten Low are already gaining traction with their debut single “Wings”. Featuring ex-members of Me In A Million, Choking On Illusions, and Gone, their sound fuses hardcore energy with a modern metal edge, pulling inspiration from Knocked Loose, Paleface Swiss, and Spiritbox.Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/intl-de/track/5IVoVkLB6Y2U1r3oppdp6aYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Z7tL5yWujo🔥 Let It Rot (Michigan – Deathcore/Metalcore) Lansing’s own Let It Rot return with their new single and music video “Undying”.
