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!
