Beartooth frontman Caleb Shomo joins Scott Penfold on the Loaded Radio Podcast to talk about Pure Ecstasy, the band's sixth album, out August 28 on Fearless Records. After fourteen years of writing, playing and producing Beartooth records almost entirely by himself, Shomo let somebody else in — co-producer Jordan Fish, a title track born out of a session with Misha Mansoor of Periphery, and drummer Connor Denis behind the kit. We get into the reaction to "Free," the AI mess that nearly killed the "Bullshit" lyric video, the Pure Ecstasy world tour, and the year that changed what a Beartooth...

Nikki Sixx answered a fan asking why Mötley Crüe use backing tracks — and traced the whole practice back to Queen and "Bohemian Rhapsody" in 1975. Scott Penfold breaks down the distinction everybody argues past: the difference between augmenting a live show and replacing one, and the one piece of evidence John 5 offered that actually holds up. Plus Anthrax release the video for "Everybody's Got A Plan," the third single from Cursum Perficio — their first album in ten years, out September 18, recorded at Dave Grohl's Studio 606.

On Saturday night in Rancho Mirage, Glenn Hughes sang four Deep Purple songs with Kings Of Chaos, including "Stormbringer." Nobody in that room knew what they were watching. The Deep Purple, Trapeze, Black Sabbath and Black Country Communion legend has announced his retirement from touring and live performances, revealing he needs another open-heart surgery. Scott Penfold looks at the career, and at the interview from twelve months ago where Hughes told Eddie Trunk that retirement wasn't a word he used — that he'd come home from a European run reinvigorated, with new purpose, and had never...

The detail almost everyone skipped: Slipknot were planning to announce Sid Wilson's departure themselves this week, and lost control of it when the story broke early. Scott Penfold explains why that one line makes four days of cryptic posts and total silence suddenly make sense — and why the two Sid Wilson stories that broke over the same weekend are separate, no matter what the internet has already decided. Plus: the V/H/S horror anthology returns with V/H/S/MIXTAPE, a music-driven installment landing October 9 on Shudder. Ghost frontman Tobias Forge directed a music video for it, GWAR...

Four days on, and Slipknot still haven't said a word about Sid Wilson. Scott Penfold breaks down where the story actually stands: the single anonymous TMZ source it all rests on, Jim Root telling fans to stop and think — and the song he chose to play underneath it — Mick Thomson's wife Stacy openly mocking the rumour mill, Sid's only post being a merch ad, and the Los Angeles studio doorstep where he was asked point blank and said nothing. Plus Sharon Osbourne confirms a film of Back To The Beginning arrives this year featuring every band who played, and Ozzfest returns in 2027 at Villa...

Calling all headbangers, mosh pit enthusiasts, and lovers of all things heavy – The Loaded Radio Podcast with Scott Penfold is about to unleash a sonic beast of an interview this week! Buckle up, because we're strapping in for a conversation with the one and only Tim Lambesis, the powerhouse vocalist who reigns supreme over two metal empires: AS I LAY DYING and AUSTRIAN DEATH MACHINE.
Lambesis is a name synonymous with innovation and relentless energy in the metal scene. His bands have consistently pushed the boundaries of the genre, delivering music that's both technically impressive and undeniably headbang-worthy. However, Lambesis' career hasn't been without its well-documented challenges and controversy.
In 2014, Tim Lambesis faced a significant personal challenge that led to a hiatus from music and incarceration. After a period of absence, he re-emerged in December 2016. A message on AS I LAY DYING's official Facebook page marked his return, with Lambesis expressing remorse for his actions.
But here at The Loaded Radio Podcast, we keep the focus where it belongs: the music! This week's episode dives deep into Lambesis' latest sonic creations, offering a glimpse into the mind of a true metal mastermind.
First up on the agenda: AUSTRIAN DEATH MACHINE's latest studio album, "Quad Brutal." Released in February 2024, "Quad Brutal" has been nothing short of a critical and commercial success. The album's relentless brutality has taken the metal scene by storm, with it's "Arnold Schwarzenegger-style thrash metal".
We'll be getting the exclusive lowdown from Lambesis himself on the creative process behind "Quad Brutal," exploring the inspirations that fueled this sonic juggernaut. Expect insights into the songwriting, the recording process, and perhaps even a few behind-the-scenes anecdotes about what it takes to craft such a punishing masterpiece.

We'll be grilling Tim for all the details on the upcoming album, including potential release dates, thematic explorations, and the overall sonic direction the band is taking. Whether you're eager to hear how the new members integrate into the AS I LAY DYING sound or simply can't wait for another dose of Lambesis' signature vocals, this interview is guaranteed to satisfy your metal cravings.
