🤘🔥 Mayhem, Metal, and Missoula: Static-X, DOPE & All the New Noise! 🎂
Saddle up, mayhem-makers! This week, the Mistresses are pouring the tequila and whiskey to celebrate a very important Mistress Birthday and deliver a fresh assault of heavy-hitting tracks and massive concert announcements!
First up, we're reliving the absolute chaos of the recent Static-X and DOPE show in Missoula! Tune in as we dissect the power-packed, moshing-fueled energy, break down DOPE's "power packed 30 minute set" (which included "Bitch" and "Burn"), and marvel at the 17 hard-hitting tracks from Static-X. Find out our favorite moments, discuss the stage effects, and see if the show with Mudvayne is still coming to a city near you!
Music reviews include:
PHAZED - "Cardinal": We're diving into the "blistering" sound of the Pottsville, PA metalcore trio's new EP, "Ashes & Echoes." Learn the emotional story behind their single "Cardinal," written about the vocalist's grandmother.
BOUM PATAT - "Mort Subite": Get ready for "electro-fun-metal"! We discuss the Belgian project's signing with Wormholedeath for the re-release of their debut, "Ma Belgitude," and their darkly humorous anthem about living fast.
KÜNTSQUÄD - "Satan's Cock": From Melbourne's female-fronted crustmetal/deathpunk scene, we spin the title track from their controversial, chart-topping new album. Discover the social commentary behind the "tongue-in-cheek" depravity!
Angelic Foe - "Discordia": A shift into the symphonic darkwave/neoclassical sound from former members of Arcana and Pain of Salvation. Check out the "immersive, cinematic soundscape" of their highly-praised album, "Amulets and Charms."
Grab your poison, buckle up, and join the party—we got the heavy metal and the microphones, so let's have some fun!
Featured Mayhem-Makers & New Music Spotlights:
Live Nation and Ticketmaster Did WHAT?! The FTC Lawsuit & Metal Mayhem
Welcome to The Mistresses of Mayhem! It's a Brotherhood, a Sisterhood—it's OUR METALHOOD!
Grab your tequila and whiskey because we're diving deep into the massive lawsuit against the giant ticket distribution companies, Live Nation and Ticketmaster.
The FTC is suing Ticketmaster over alleged deceptive pricing practices, enabling scalpers, and "triple-dipping" on fees, building on previous antitrust cases that aim to break up their alleged monopoly. We're breaking down what this all means for fans and the future of live music.
In true Mistresses of Mayhem style, we're pairing this week's discussion with a punishing soundtrack of new and legendary metal:
Gravemass unleashes their devastating black/death metal single "Fallen," from their forthcoming debut album. This metal supergroup features veterans from bands like Zimmers Hole and 3 Inches of Blood.
Get ready for the wild "electro-fun-metal" of BOUM PATAT with their track "Je Suis Zat" from their upcoming album Ma Belgitude.
We're spinning "Absolutly Nothing" from Homicyde’s new melodic death metal album Immortal, straight out of the swamps of South Carolina.
A powerful return to thrash! We'll blast "Pain" from the newly resurrected Return to Darkness and their full-length album Eternal.
Plus, we'll give a shout-out to Freaker's Ball, Montana's longest-running music festival!
Join us for a fair share of mayhem, heavy metal, and fun!

Let's Get Freaky: A Metalhood Celebration
Get ready for some glorious mayhem, because the Mistresses of Mayhem are back and celebrating their favorite month—October! We're kicking off the spooky season with a heavy dose of new music, concert announcements, and a whole lot of metal mayhem.
In this episode, we're cracking open a bottle (or two) of tequila and whiskey to review Demon Doll's highly anticipated debut album, Finding Solace in the Suffering, dropping on October 31st. We'll give you an exclusive sneak peek with two new tracks, including the powerful single "Empty Homes."
We're also getting freaky as we shine a spotlight on the upcoming Freaker's Ball, the longest-running music festival in Montana, featuring bands like Switch Off Safety, Blessiddoom, and Demon Doll. We've got a rundown of other must-attend events happening this month, including Ghoul Bash 2025, the Grotesque Burlesque Carnival of Flesh, and Hel-Fest.
It's a Brotherhood, it's a Sisterhood, it's OUR METALHOOD! So grab your favorite drink, turn up the volume, and join us for some fun. We'll see you in the pit!
Get ready for an episode that’s a total train wreck in the best way possible. This week, we're celebrating our beloved Mistress Amaras' birthday, and believe us, we've got the pictures (and maybe some embarrassing stories) to prove it.
But the party's just getting started! We're also diving into a concert review from a recent trip to Salt Lake City to see Nine Inch Nails, a show so good it's almost criminal. Speaking of criminal, we're talking about a recent Korn concertgoer who took "Freak on a Leash" a little too literally. We'll break down the bizarre, NSFW moment that had us saying, "Did he really just do that?" and the fan who was just as shocked as we were, taking matters into his own hands (literally).
Plus, it's a new month, which means a new Bandcamp Pick. This month, we're spotlighting the Montana-based trio American Philosophy and their track "Devastation." We'll talk about why they're the perfect mix of rock, grunge, and electronica and why you should support them on Bandcamp Friday so all the money goes directly to the artists.
So pour yourself a drink, grab your birthday hat, and get ready for an episode that's part celebration, part concert review, and all kinds of messed up.

Join your delightfully deranged hosts, The Mistresses of Mayhem, for a riotous romp through the world of heavy metal news and events. Prepare for laughs, headbanging, and probably some questionable life advice!
This week, we'rediscussing the impact of the legend himself, Ozzy (Don't worry, he's just really committed to his beauty sleep.) Mistresses spills the beans on how Ozzfest turned them into a professional mosher, and reminding us that Ozzy wasn't just the Prince of Darkness; he was the OG weirdo who taught us that being authentically odd is cooler than fitting in. So, grab your black eyeliner and let's toast to the man who truly earned his eternal nap!
But enough with the sentimentality! We've got fresh, ear-splitting tunes to get your head bobbing! We're spinning ILLUSIONS PLAY's new track "Into Infinity" – perfect for when you want to feel deeply introspective but also kinda like you're in a haunted house. Then, buckle up for Alarum and their track "Zero Nine Thirty" from the new album Recontinue – described as "A Masterclass in Progressive Fusion Jazz Thrash Metal." Translation: it's gonna melt your face off in the most sophisticated way possible. And because we can't resist a good tribute (especially one with a wink), we're cranking Ninety Two Degrees and their perfectly timed new single, "Masters Only Know," dedicated to the one, the only, Ozzy. Plus, we've got more sonic delights from UNDUN with "My God" and End Ever with "Ol' 13 (soberphobic)" to keep the party going!
And because metal isn't just for listening in your pajamas, we're dishing on some killer live events! Is UNDUN joining the fray at Freaker's Ball 2025 in Great Falls, Montana? We're on the edge of our seats (and possibly our couches) after Corey Hayes dropped their name in the band submission bucket! Then, prepare your stomachs and your eardrums for news on Totfest 2025 in Missoula, MT, with 20 bands including blessiddoom and Ceres, and the first-ever COREFEST in Knoxville, TN – an all-ages extravaganza featuring QUIESCENT MANTIS, NINJAWITCH, BELFAST 6 PACK, and many more!
So, tune in, turn up, and prepare for some serious laughs. What's the weirdest thing you've ever seen in a mosh pit? Let us know!

In this episode, "Feeling the Vibe," we're diving headfirst into a whirlwind of new releases that have dropped over the past month. We'll be reliving some epic highlights from Ozzy Osbourne's unforgettable farewell show, sharing our thoughts on the Prince of Darkness's final bow.
But it's not all headbanging and nostalgia! We're getting real about the passion that drives us and how, sometimes, even for the Mistresses, that motivation can be a little elusive. Plus, the summer is officially on, and our calendars are crammed with festival announcements, upcoming concerts, and a deluge of fresh new music. We'll break down what's got us excited for the season!
All of this, of course, comes with a generous pour of chaos. We've got tequila, whiskey, White Claws, heavy metal, and a couple of open mics – so let's have some fun!
