    Iron Maiden Blasts Rock Hall Induction | Anthrax 'Greatest Song' Controversy + Autopsy Remaster

    Steve Harris and Bruce Dickinson have officially broken their silence on Iron Maiden's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2026—and their blunt, unfiltered reactions prove exactly why they are heavy metal royalty. On today's episode of the Metal Breakdown Daily, host Scott Penfold breaks down the band's total apathy toward the Los Angeles induction ceremony, why they refuse to cancel their 2026 Australian tour dates to attend, and how Steve Harris is just glad "the Americans will stop banging on about it." Inside today's metal broadcast: The Rock Hall Circus: We unpack the full interview details from Metal Hammer regarding Iron Maiden's 2026 induction, including who is getting in (from Paul Di'Anno to Blaze Bayley) and why Bruce Dickinson can't even summon the energy to be vitriolic about it anymore. Anthrax Drops a Bombshell: Anthrax has unleashed the official music video for "The Edge Of Perfection" from their highly anticipated 12th studio album, Cursum Perficio. We dive into Scott Ian's massive claim that this is literally the greatest song in the entire history of the band. Autopsy's Death Metal Facelift: Old-school death metal legends Autopsy are celebrating the 35th anniversary of Mental Funeral with a massive, track-by-track commentary remaster package via Peaceville Records. 📱 CONNECT WITH THE SHOW & CONVERT TO A FOLLOWER: Download the Free App: Stream the live rock broadcast natively 24/7 on Apple iOS and Google Play .

    You Might Also Like: The School of Greatness

    Introducing Why Your Relationship Keeps Repeating the Same Pattern | Gary John Bishop from The School of Greatness. Follow the show: The School of Greatness Most breakups have one thing in common, and it's never who you think it is. You can point to the fight, the distance, the way things quietly went cold. But the real story starts years earlier, in the exact moment you stopped noticing the shift. Gary John Bishop, author of Love Unf*cked: Getting Your Relationship Sh!t Together, has spent decades studying why people stay stuck in relationships long after they know something is wrong. He built a career teaching people how to spot the moment they started tolerating what should have ended. This conversation gets personal fast. Bishop opens up about the 28 years he went without telling his mother he loved her, the phone call that broke him open, and the identity he had to dismantle before he could fully love his own wife. You will hear why competitiveness can quietly wreck intimacy, why blame is the anchor that keeps you stuck in the past, and why the story you tell about what happened to you matters more than what actually happened. By the end, you'll see why the real work is getting "complete" with your first twenty years. And why the best lovers are the ones who stopped looking for someone else to fix them.

    Corey Taylor Mental Health Struggle, Suffocation European Tour, Abigail Williams Album Update

    On today's episode of The Metal Breakdown Daily, host Scott Penfold discusses an incredibly raw, unfiltered look into the personal life of one of metal's biggest frontmen. Slipknot vocalist Corey Taylor has opened up about his intense mental health journey, revealing it took the coordinated efforts of three therapists working simultaneously to help him look at past mistakes and rebuild his life. Appearing on a recent podcast, Taylor shared that three years ago, deep-seated insecurities left him hating who he was and hurting those closest to him. He credits his wife, Alicia, for standing by him and inspiring him to re-evaluate what true success means outside of music. Plus, New York death metal pioneers Suffocation have officially locked in a massive European tour run for this coming October. The band will be bringing an absolute powerhouse of a package across the Atlantic, featuring support from Ingested, Undeath, and Eternal. We break down the full list of dates, venues, and routing. Finally, black metal outfit Abigail Williams announces they have officially commenced tracking for their highly anticipated seventh studio album.

    Official Black Sabbath Ozzy Book Announced, Megadeth Lisbon Festival Riot, Brent Hinds Memorial Unveiled

    On today's episode of The Metal Breakdown Daily, host Scott Penfold breaks down a massive day of rock history, last-minute festival chaos, and a poignant heavy metal tribute. We start with the highly anticipated announcement of 'The Masters Of Reality', a massive 500-page officially backed Black Sabbath book arriving this October through Rufus Publishing. Overseen by legendary rock photographer Ross Halfin, the project chronicles the band's iconic Ozzy Osbourne-fronted eras up to their historic 'Back To The Beginning' farewell concert. Halfin reveals that production began two years ago with the full blessing and signed participation of the late heavy metal icon Ozzy Osbourne before his sudden passing in 2025. Plus, absolute chaos erupted in Lisbon, Portugal, over the weekend after Megadeth was forced to pull the plug on their headlining appearance at the EvilLive festival due to catastrophic "technical issues." We look at eyewitness accounts of frantic road crews running through the crowd with flashlights, leading to a near-riot as furious fans chanted for refunds and pelted the stage with projectiles. Finally, we head to Atlanta, Georgia, where a brand-new street memorial has been officially unveiled at the intersection of Memorial Drive and Boulevard SE. Erected at the site of late Mastodon guitarist Brent Hinds' tragic 2025 motorcycle crash, the moving tribute serves a dual purpose as a critical road safety warning urging drivers to look twice for motorcyclists.

    Sammy Hagar Trump Backlash, Ozzy Osbourne Exhibition, Dave Mustaine Space Gig

    On today's episode of The Metal Breakdown Daily, host Scott Penfold unpacks a massive weekend of rock and heavy metal news, starting with a patriotic firestorm surrounding the Red Rocker himself. Sammy Hagar is aggressively defending his involvement in the "Freedom 250" 4th of July celebration in Washington, D.C.. After severe thunderstorms completely washed out the musical portion of the event, fans flooded social media with outrage over Hagar's connection to an event featuring President Donald Trump. Hagar fired back, insisting the show was entirely non-political, and shared the handwritten unity speech he was practicing to deliver right before launching into Van Halen's "Right Now". Plus, we look at the historic "Back To The Beginning" photography exhibition that just launched in Birmingham. Celebrating the one-year anniversary of Black Sabbath's final homecoming set, the massive display features legendary shots of the band alongside Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Slayer, and Pantera, following Ozzy Osbourne's passing in July 2025. Finally, Megadeth mastermind Dave Mustaine drops cryptic breadcrumbs about an "out of this world" July announcement.

    On today's edition of the Loaded Radio Daily Breakdown, host Scott Penfold brings his 25-year rock radio personality to the mic to unpack an absolutely massive day of rock and metal news across the global grid. First up, Australian metalcore titans Parkway Drive are throwing it back to their absolute foundational roots. The band has officially confirmed their "Killing Horizons Tour" hitting Australia this August. Instead of standard tour packages, they are setting up specialized, intimate two-night residencies across five major cities—with Night 1 dedicated to playing their 2005 debut album "Killing With A Smile" in its entirety, and Night 2 running through their 2007 breakthrough masterpiece "Horizons" from front to back. We look at the tour routing, dates, and ticket pre-sale windows. Then, we revisit the ongoing fallout surrounding Iron Maiden's catastrophic Paris stadium blackout at the La Défense Arena. We have new official statements from frontman Bruce Dickinson and manager Rod Smallwood regarding the intense 44°C heatwave conditions inside the venue when the AC failed, the strict local police transit curfews that forced the band to drop their three-song encore, and how French electricity distributor Enedis is responding to investigations into the arena's internal power grid failure. Finally, glam metal legends Twisted Sister have officially expanded their highly anticipated 2026 reunion tour schedule, adding three massive fall dates across Indiana, West Virginia, and Florida. We track the updated schedule and discuss the vocal substitution of Skid Row icon Sebastian Bach stepping in for Dee Snider with his full, explicit blessing. Stream the daily tracking report now!

    IRON MAIDEN Paris Blackout Disaster + Deftones Eros Album Leak & Bad Wolves Lineup Reboot

    On today's edition of the Loaded Radio Daily Breakdown, host Scott Penfold brings his 25-year rock radio personality to the mic to unpack the absolute wildest 48 hours of stadium chaos, internet data breaches, and industry reboots. First up, we break down the absolute disaster that struck Iron Maiden's June 22 concert at the La Défense Arena in Paris, France. Mid-song, a massive city-wide power outage plunged Europe's largest indoor venue into pitch-black darkness. We talk about the hour-long blackout, how it derailed their highly anticipated "Run For Your Lives" tour film shoot, and the strict city curfews that forced Bruce Dickinson to cut the night short—costing fans a three-song encore block of "Aces High", "Fear Of The Dark", and "Wasted Years". Then, we dive into the online chaos surrounding Deftones. A massive cache of long-shelved material has leaked across underground message boards, including 11 tracks from the mythical 2008 album 'Eros'—featuring the final bass lines of the late Chi Cheng—alongside raw demo sessions from 2020's 'Ohms' and an unreleased song titled "Sensations". We look at the emotional weight of the leak, the ethics of streaming it against Chino Moreno's wishes, and the "Copyright Sheriff" sweeping the files off YouTube. Finally, we track the massive changes happening inside Bad Wolves. Following a rolling member exodus, founding drummer John Boecklin has completely rebuilt the band from scratch—even turning down a massive seven-figure bid from ex-vocalist Tommy Vext to buy the rights to the name. With a major reveal locked in for next Monday, June 29th, we break down the heavy rumors placing Sara "Killboy" Skinner on vocals and Animals As Leaders' Javier Reyes on guitar, plus updates on where the rest of the former members have landed.

    IRON MAIDEN Paris Phone Ban + Anthrax's Benante Sidelined & Ozzy's Final Throne Display

    On today's episode of the Loaded Radio Daily Breakdown, host Scott Penfold delivers a high-octane, laid-back look at the absolute biggest stories trending across the hard rock and metal grids over the last 48 hours.  First up, we unpack the massive operational news coming out of France tonight. Iron Maiden is taking over the La Défense Arena in Paris to professionally film their upcoming "Run For Your Lives" world tour concert movie. The catch? Management is enforcing a strict phone-free General Admission floor using lockable Yondr pouches. We break down the logistics, the fan reaction, and what this means for the future of stadium rock etiquette. Next, we look at a major shake-up on the European festival circuit. Anthrax and Pantera drum titan Charlie Benante has been sidelined by a right-hand injury. Following strict doctor's orders to rest from June 20 to July 4, Charlie will sit out massive summer milestones including Hellfest, Copenhell, and select dates supporting Iron Maiden. We talk about his phenomenal UK fill-in Darby Todd (Devin Townsend, Robert Plant) and map out Charlie's scheduled return date in Lisbon. Finally, we head to Birmingham to mark an incredibly poignant milestone. As the metal world approaches the one-year anniversary of the Prince of Darkness' passing, Ozzy Osbourne's iconic, bat-winged gothic throne is heading to the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery. Synced with the massively successful "Working Class Hero" exhibition, we look back at the history of the throne—built for his 2024 Hall of Fame induction and last seen on stage at Black Sabbath's legendary final "Back To The Beginning" farewell concert at Villa Park on July 5, 2025.  Stream the daily tracking report now!
