    Bob Daisley Breaks His Silence On Ozzy Snubs, New Music And Metal History On The Loaded Radio Podcast

    Legendary bassist and songwriter Bob Daisley joins the Loaded Radio Podcast this week, addressing his exclusion from Ozzy Osbourne's "Back To The Beginning" concert and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, reflecting on his work with Randy Rhoads, Jake E. Lee, and Zakk Wylde, and discussing new music. The episode also features host Scott Penfold breaking down the latest heavy metal news, including the new Bruce Dickinson solo album, Deftones' catalog deal, the Motley Crue/Mick Mars verdict, and the Grammys' ongoing relationship with metal. I've interviewed a lot of metal musicians over the years, but some conversations carry a different kind of weight. This one does. This week on the Loaded Radio Podcast, we're joined by Bob Daisley — a foundational architect of heavy metal whose fingerprints are all over some of the genre's most iconic records, yet whose name is still too often left out of the mainstream narrative. And for the first time in a long while, Bob isn't dodging the uncomfortable stuff.

Plus, we break down the seismic 2026 news: Mudvayne's hiatus, Chad Gray's solo pivot, and the emotional impact of Megadeth's final studio testament.

    Attila Csihar of Mayhem Talks 'Liturgy Of Death', Joey Jordison and 40 Years of Black Metal on The Loaded Radio Podcast

    The pioneers of True Norwegian Black Metal return. Attila Csihar joins The Loaded Radio Podcast to discuss mayhem's seventh studio album, Liturgy Of Death, arriving February 6, 2026. In this visceral interview, Attila reflects on the band's 40-year legacy of church burnings, murder, and the bleak reality of mortality.  There is "heavy," and then there is Mayhem. Sitting across from Attila Csihar for this episode of The Loaded Radio Podcast, the air in the room felt different. You aren't just talking to a vocalist; you are talking to a man who stepped into the center of a literal crime scene and helped forge it into a global movement. Liturgy Of Death (2026) is a merciless record that turns the focus toward the finality of existence. It is dark, fast, and entirely without solace. But to understand where they are going, you have to look at the wreckage they left behind. From the suicide of Dead to the internal war that led to the death of Euronymous, this isn't just music—it's a survival story from the darkest corners of the human psyche. Stick around after the interview for a segment that has been generating a lot of buzz. Host Scott Penfold delivers an incredibly entertaining and in-depth breakdown of the "Bands to Watch in 2026." If you're tired of the same three bands headlining every "new music" playlist, Scott's look at the up-and-coming hard rock and metal acts is the definitive roadmap you need. This isn't a list generated by an algorithm—it's a curated look at the next generation of chaos.

    n a candid interview with Loaded Radio, Danko Jones discusses the band's new album, Leo Rising (out November 21, 2025), and his commitment to the "recording, touring, writing, repeat" process, which he calls his "page out of the Motörhead handbook." We dive deep into how he managed the geographically separated recording with John Calabrese and Rich Knox, the blistering guest solo by Marty Friedman on "Diamond In The Rough," and how his deep, personal connection to KISS continues to fuel his career. The frontman confirms the new album is "another serving of peerless hard-rock: bass, drums, guitar, vocals, no frills." The full podcast is embedded below, where he also talks about how he keeps the band's chemistry "tight, loud, and built for the stage" despite the distance.
