    Crown Magnetar Announce Co-Headlining North American Tour with To the Grave

    Colorado deathcore heavyweights Crown Magnetar have announced a massive co-headlining North American tour with Australia’s To the Grave, bringing one of the most punishing lineups of the year under the banner The Sawed Off Suffering Tour .

    The tour arrives in support of Crown Magnetar’s recent singles “Impaled Genesis” and “Desecrate Infinite,” which also mark the debut recordings featuring new guitarist Rob Maramonte (formerly of The Zenith Passage and Fallujah). With new material already circulating and momentum building, fans are already speculating that a full-length announcement may not be far behind.
    Vocalist Dan Tucker comments:


    “We’re beyond excited to announce ‘The Sawed Off Suffering Tour’ alongside our friends in To The Grave. This package represents some of the most punishing bands in heavy music, and we wanted to build something that delivers pure intensity from start to finish. With Face Yourself joining us as direct support and a rotating lineup featuring Backbiter, Tracheotomy, Squelching, I Declare War, and Ameonna, every night is going to be an absolute assault. If you’re looking for a tour built around relentless brutality, and the heaviest bands in the scene, ‘The Sawed Off Suffering Tour’ is exactly that.”


    The routing spans the United States and Canada from mid-September through mid-October, hitting major markets including Chicago, Toronto, New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, and Denver. Each night will feature different support combinations, ensuring no two shows feel the same.

    Beyond the North American run, Crown Magnetar will head straight into Europe to join tech-death titans Archspire as direct support on the European Vacation Tour , alongside The Zenith Passage and Analepsy. The move underscores just how fast the band’s profile continues to rise on both sides of the Atlantic.
    The European trek kicks off October 23 in Köln, Germany, and runs through November 21 in Helsinki, Finland, hitting major cities across the UK and Europe including London, Paris, Berlin, Madrid, Milan, Copenhagen, and more.
    With back-to-back touring cycles, a stacked lineup, and new material already in circulation, Crown Magnetar are clearly entering a new era of momentum. And if The Sawed Off Suffering Tour name is any indication, they’re not planning on slowing down anytime soon.

  • Song Review: Frozen Factory “Call Off The Firing Squad”

    Song Review: Frozen Factory "Call Off The Firing Squad"

    Originally forming in Helsinki, Finland in 2018, metal act Frozen Factory has just released their latest single "Call Off The Firing Squad".

    The track begins with atmospheric clean guitar that builds a prog-esque sound as groovy drums and gentle singing create a soft and melodic sound. The song slowly builds into electric guitar leads and more energetic vocals in its chorus, taking on a soft rock vibe, while distant heavy metal guitar leads can be heard. After the second chorus, soaring vocals and hard-hitting guitar create a deeply catchy but dynamic sound, and the song fades into a bridge as piano and distant screams and gunfire can be heard, building a dramatic but ambient soundscape. Singing slowly builds in energy as theatrical guitar chugs soon launch back into the track's final chorus.

    With "Call Off The Firing Squad" Frozen Factory showcases a really unique sound that blends classic metal guitar, the dynamics of soft rock, progressive metal's atmospheric sounds, and even some classical piano elements. Overall, I think this is a catchy song that stands out with a sound that balances a gentle sound while still showing some alternative music edge.

    You can stream "Call Off The Firing Squad" on all platforms now.

    Bloodstock Adds Twelve More Bands for 2026

    With just eight weeks to go til you can finally scream, “BLOODSTOCK we’re home!” there’s an ever constant stream of news to share.

    Have you been following the first batch of the METAL 2 THE MASSES finals? Cue much excitement and a drum roll please, for the first group of winners landing slots on the Stowford Press New Blood Stage can now be revealed!

    On Friday, bear witness to East Anglian aggressors REGICIDE, offering a blend of thrash/groove metal with hardcore elements, Belfast death/thrash champions MICROTONAL, modern melo-death crew ATARKA who won the Birmingham round, and explosive hardcore five-piece BAILED OUT from Leeds.

    Saturday welcomes Sheffield metalcore victors DESCENDANCY and cathartic Northants noiseniks DEAD BAIT.

    Sunday adds diverse Scottish top dogs CHEKHOV’S GUN (whose striking sound is matched by a visceral live show, fronted by a flamboyant Lithuanian ballroom dancer!), Manchester’s prog metal quintet TECHNOLOGIST, doom-inspired SUNK who came first for the South Coast region, collaborative Cyprus conquerors JOAKEM, and formidable death metal unifiers KA’APER, comprised of both Russian and Ukrainian musicians.

    BLOODSTOCKers, unfortunately we also have to share that OF MICE & MEN have cancelled performing, sending this note: “Due to circumstances beyond our control we sadly won’t be able to make it out to Europe this summer as planned. Thanks to all the fans, festivals & promoters we were looking forward to playing for.”  BLOODSTOCK wishes the band well.

    While we know that is disappointing news, BLOODSTOCK has lined up excellent death metal squad SANGUISUGABOGG to step into their shoes. The band declare, “Hey mate! Seems like your favorite death dealing degenerates just hocked up their hairball of a logo all over your Bloodstock flyer! We can’t wait to be in England to melt faces and rock out at Bloodstock, so pack up your broomsticks and your toast and beans and let’s party together – we couldn’t be anymore psyched!” You can catch them as direct support to LEPROUS on Saturday on the Sophie Lancaster stage. Rumours you can win a prize for correctly spelling their name in a BLOODSTOCK Spelling Bee are unfounded.

  • Review: Urzah – A Tranquil Void (Matt Bladen)

    Urzah – A Tranquil Void (APF Records)



    We’ve been following the career of Bristol based noisemakers Urzah since their inception in early 2020, battling through a pandemic, they released two EP’s which honed them as a studio acts before they even got on a stage together. On stage they’re a primeval force of heaviness, progressive sludge that dwells at the fringes of both, drawing in hardcore, post metal, punk, classic metal and more like a sonic black hole. 

    They finally released their debut album The Scorching Gaze on APF records in 2024 and this was the first ‘proper’ chapter of their story, the self-actualisation that Urzah could become the next mega force in this genre the same way as bands such as Urne and DVNE have exploded in recent years.

    Sharing similar influences such as Neurosis, Mastodon and any band that blends sludge with more atmospheric and progressive tones, their debut album was rumination on the human experience, the cycles of life death and more. It took them to bigger stages and higher profile shows, with the momentum not slowing even in the face of replacing their bassist. 

    Dan Bradley took up the low end in November 2024 and they decamped to Josh Gallop’s Stage 2 Studios in Bath again to record the follow up to The Scorching Gaze, as Josh has very solid, sonic acumen for music of this style. 

    That follow up is A Tranquil Void, another conceptually and philosophically driven record that joins its predecessor and a thematic diptych, the debut burning red with fire and rage while this one a calmer, reflective blue where the aftermath is examined, so keeping the same producer is a must if both albums are two sides of sonic coin. Though you shouldn’t expect Urzah to have mellowed, there’s little in the way of happy-clappy realisation, flashes of introspection and ambience yes but Urzah are still a band who reach catharsis and closure through heavy riffs, they’re still a progressive sludge band. 

    However with A Tranquil Void they broaden their sonic display through folk influences, broader spatial exploration, wider complexity in the songwriting and collaborations with guest vocalists of the Bristol music scene including, Dave Cook (Empire Of Dust), Chris Wilson (Row of Ashes) and Victoria Bourne (The Spark’s Desire), reinforcing their place and their pride as prominent members of the Bristol/South West scene. 

    Beginning with the insistent an ominous At The Mouth Of The Cave, they immediately break new ground as acoustics fluidly play the melodies over concrete stabs of heaviness, as if approaching a terrifying new phase of living. It does a lot to build up the dissonance and rage, which is unleashed on second track The Call Beneath. A tech metal showpiece that, really gets the record started in the way you’d want from Urzah. It’s a track about overcoming grief, it does so with gifted guitar interplay between Ed Fairman and Tom McElveen, set against and industrial dirge, and it’s a song which starts and stops like a mechanism for rage. Their vocals are just as intertwined as their guitar playing is, sharing riffs, melodies and leads, the density is just as potent as the complexity. 

    From here the pace increases on Infernal Star I, those Mastodon influences that are mentioned, are here if you’ve been looking for them. Though they are more pronounced on Infernal Star II, which continues this two part sludge suite by dialling up the heaviness, driven by the impressive drum work of James Brown and the guttural bass of Dan Bradley, as the last moments erupting into solo section, which will see many air guitar heroes following along. This is the fantastic sound of Urzah at its most refined. 

    Four tracks through and you can hear that Urzah are reaching for something much more intense and emotionally expressive than on their debut. It’s on the last four tracks though where the band push the experimental personality of their work. 

    Side B begins with the woozy tribal beat of Bark & Branches, folksy and meditative, you may think it’s Heilung, but as In The Mouth Of The Wolf hits, this short rest bite is destroyed by more fierce technical aggression, again the guitar playing features plenty of thunderous brutality, the riffs contradicting and conjoining as it shifts towards the longest solo section on the record, taking the track and the band into classic heavy metal anthemia. Beneath all of these movements the rhythm section stays thick and crushing.

    Getting heavier and louder as we move into another massive sludge beating on Hunter In The Veil. It’s here that the Neurosis sound comparison hits home, deafening drones of guitar and cello from Luke Clemenger, anchored around the, off time drumming, sprawling lead bass and raging vocal. 

    A Tranquil Void is an opus, no mistake about that, any notion of a “difficult second album” blown away in the first half of the record, while on side two they settle into a new soundscapes, framing themselves as not just a riff heavy beast but a band who can play with nuance and intelligence. 

    A Tranquil Void culminates in the 11 minute closer; Entwined, Twisted Roots Of Chaos, beginning with a dissonant slow burn and ghostly female vocals, it’s a track that builds, as if signalling the final chapter of this dual album journey, the constant increase of volume, emotion and atmosphere, never fully bursts like you may want it too, but it does just enough to give the felling of acceptance and appeasement that this album is trying to epitomize. 

    It just caps off what is an incredible album number two from Urzah. The Scorching Gaze lit the fire, but A Tranquil Void has turned Urzah into an inferno of creative brilliance. You need this album! 10/10

  • Whitechapel Explodes With Monumental 20th Anniversary Tour Announcement To Devastate North America This Fall

    whitechapel-2026

    The undisputed pioneering architects of modern American deathcore have just dropped a absolute nuclear warhead onto the extreme music calendar. Celebrating two decades of uncompromising sonic violence, Knoxville, Tennessee powerhouse Whitechapel has officially announced their massive “20th Anniversary” North American headlining tour. Produced by entertainment titan Live Nation, this landmark autumn trek will not only stand as the single largest headline run of the band’s historic career, but it will also feature a devastating triple-threat package of special guests including Chelsea Grin, The Acacia Strain, and rising extreme force Netherwalker.

    Listen to Today’s Metal Breakdown Daily:

Turn up the Loaded Radio Daily Podcast on your preferred streaming network to catch our comprehensive breakdown of this historic tour announcement, or stream 24/7 commercial-free metal directly via our digital player below.

    Defying the Odds: 20 Years of Deathcore Dominance

    When Whitechapel originally coalesced in Knoxville back in 2006, the fusion of brutal death metal technicality and hardcore breakdown velocity was largely viewed by mainstream critics as a passing underground fad. Instead, the band helped reshape the face of heavy independent music, building a bulletproof legacy anchored by frontman Phil Bozeman’s legendary, throat-shredding vocal delivery.

    Reflecting on the monumental milestone, founding rhythm guitarist Alex Wade expressed immense pride in the band’s endurance and the massive scale of the upcoming production: “We are excited to announce our 20th Anniversary Tour taking place this Fall,” Wade shared in an official press dispatch. “We would have never believed we would have made it 20 years after we started this band in 2006, but here we are celebrating it, and we are proud that we are undertaking our largest headline tour to date to commemorate that. Joining us will be our friends who need no introduction, Chelsea Grin and The Acacia Strain, along with deathcore up-and-comers, Netherwalker. We will be playing songs from our entire discography, no albums left out, so if you want to see us play our longest set in the biggest venues we’ve ever played, get your tickets now and don’t miss out!”

    Re-Engineering the Setlist: A Career-Spanning Retrospective

    To satisfy multiple generations of extreme music fans, Whitechapel is throwing out their standard tour playbook. The upcoming production will feature an exhaustive, career-spanning setlist designed to touch upon every single era of their discography—ranging from the raw, historic brutality of 2007’s The Somatic Defilement and 2008’s This Is Exile to the polished, chart-topping progressive mastery of their recent offerings.

    The tour comes hot on the heels of their highly acclaimed latest studio masterpiece, Hymns In Dissonance, which dropped via Metal Blade Records. The record successfully reinvented the band’s sonic fingerprint, going darker and more unrelenting than anything they had tracked in over a decade. Upon its debut, the record conquered the music charts, securing the #2 spot on Billboard’s Current Hard Rock Albums chart, #3 on the Independent Label chart, and #4 on the Current Rock Albums chart.

    The Ironclad Legacy of Knoxville’s Finest

    Emerging from the underground metal scene of Knoxville, Tennessee in 2006, Whitechapel—named after the infamous London district where Jack the Ripper operated—became fundamental pioneers in cementing deathcore into the global cultural lexicon. While early landmark records established their technical three-guitar assault and hyper-bludgeoning rhythmic breakdowns, it was their willingness to structurally evolve that ensured their long-term survival.

    By introducing progressive soundscapes, conceptual storytelling, and clean vocal melodies on later masterworks like 2019’s The Valley and 2021’s Kin, Whitechapel bypassed the structural limitations that caused many of their mid-2000s peers to disband. Entering their 20th year with a top-tier lineup and their largest commercial tour routing to date, they stand as undisputed icons of modern extreme American music.

    Now that the blueprint for the largest deathcore tour of the year has officially been unveiled, the floor belongs to the Loaded Radio family.

  • If These Trees Could Talk: “Sea of Glass” Video/Single from Instrumental Post-Rock Collective Now Playing

    – June 9th, 2026 –

    “The Hidden Hand” Full-Length To Drop July 10th

    “Sea Of Glass” is the latest single from instrumental post-rock collective IF THESE TREES COULD TALK. At once dreamy and powerful, the band’s newest hymn comes by way of the band’s forthcoming full-length, The Hidden Hand, set for release on July 10th through Metal Blade Records.

    Comments drummer Zack Kelly, “‘Sea Of Glass’ offers a smooth optimistic post-rock landscape guided by uplifting clean guitars and heavy chorus hooks which pay off with a haunting and explosive resolution.”

    Watch IF THESE TREES COULD TALK‘s “Sea Of Glass” video HERE.

    Watch the band’s previously released video for “Blurry Creatures” HERE.

    The Akron, Ohio-based outfit has been praised by Metal Hammer for their, “uplifting post-rock that layers cascading guitars over tight drums with a deep emotional resonance,” while the lineup’s Metal Blade debut (and third LP overall), 2016′s The Bones Of A Dying World, was called “a fluid-flowing masterpiece that builds upon complex, progressive dreamscapes.”

    This year’s The Hidden Hand boasts nine stellar and plainly provocative songs. IF THESE TREES COULD TALK focuses on capturing sonic power, utilizing the three guitars to cover different areas of the spectrum.

    “Most parts usually start with a loop pedal and delay, from there a natural bass line will reveal itself and we can build from there after lots of trial and error,” explains Zack, who co-founded the band with drummer-brother Cody Kelly in 2005. “Drums patterns can also help play against the loop and create a movement or flow to help build the counts and changes. The IF THESE TREES COULD TALK experience feels like a slow, wordless conversation between the inner and outer world best consumed like the score to a cinematic picture or a space for meditation, healing, and clarity.”

    The Hidden Hand will be released on CD and digital formats as well as vinyl in the following color variants:

    Lava Red Marble (US)
    Solar Flare Marble (US)
    Purple Galaxy Marble (US)
    180g Black (EU – Ltd. 1000)
    Tropical Sunset Marble (Orange/Purple/White) (EU – Ltd. 500)
    Orange Oxblood Merged (EU – Ltd. 250)
