    The "Is It Metal?" Debate | Reviewing Deafheaven and Death | DE 36

    What record did you prefer? Have something to tell Mitch and Ethan? Message here! Ethan and Mitch are back for the 36th installment of the Distorted Entertainment podcast! This week, we tackle the "Sleep Token isn't metal" discourse and Ethan shares a cautionary tale about a Facebook Marketplace Bitcoin scam that nearly drained his account. We also discuss the latest in metal news, including members leaving Haken, Spotify's ad controversy, and the "dystopian" rise of AI in music and gaming. In the review section, Ethan gives his thoughts on the post-black metal sounds of Deafheaven’s Lonely People with Power, and Mitch finally dives into the legendary Symbolic by Death. We wrap things up by looking at Loudwire’s "Best of 2025" list and setting the stage for a very "Proggy" next episode with picks from Cynic (Traced In Air) and The Dillinger Escape Plan (One Of Us Is The Killer). Listen in for: Personal updates and the "therapy stand."The PC gaming "Dystopia" and surging hardware prices.A deep dive into Black Metal subgenres and production.Why Mitch thinks Sound of Perseverance still reigns supreme.Support the show Intro Song: "Center of Gravity" by Perceive//Persist (Ft.

    R.I.P. Ozzy Osbourne & Brent Hinds, Cattle Decap and Myrkur Review, Battlefield 6 | Distorted Entertainment 35

    What record did you prefer? Have something to tell Mitch and Ethan? Message here! Ethan and Mitchell are back after a long hiatus to tackle a massive year in the world of metal and gaming. We mourn the loss of legends Ozzy Osbourne and Brent Hinds, debate Roger Waters' controversial comments, and deliver a brutal double feature review of Cattle Decapitation’s Monolith of Inhumanity and Myrkur’s M. Beyond the records, we dive into the "Prime Hack" solution for replaying Metroid Prime, the state of the Battlefield 6 beta, and whether Nvidia’s 5090 is even worth the hype. Mitchell also gets personal about his recent health struggles, from lipoma surgery to the technical hurdles of re-learning the violin after years of muscle atrophy. Plus, we ask the ultimate question: is the saxophone officially the sexiest instrument in metal?.

    Anciients/Carrion Vael | Distorted Entertainment

    What record did you prefer? Have something to tell Mitch and Ethan? Message here! Ever wonder what happens when metalheads and gaming geeks collide? You get a laugh-filled, headbanging episode of Distortion Entertainment with me, Ethan Carpenter, and my ever-entertaining co-pilot, Mitchell Wade. We forgot the clap sync, but who needs perfect timing when you've got a show bursting with the controversial sampling antics of Kanye West, musings over my ever coming 'skullet', and an impassioned debate about the shifting soundscapes of Indiana's Carrion Vael and Canada's Anciients. Strap in as we tear apart the industry's latest metal music news and take a trip down memory lane with the return of All Shall Perish. We're also stirring the pot with some frank talk about the unexpected departure of band members and the ripple effect on groups like Insomnium. And for the gamers out there, we're diving headfirst into the latest gaming sagas, from my WWE game anticipation to the satirical splendor of Helldivers 2. Plus, we're not shying away from the Marvel universe—chewing over Hugh Jackman's return as Wolverine and the eyebrow-raising cast of the new Fantastic Four. To cap off this auditory adventure, we're serving up a hefty dose of candor as we dissect a yet another questionable Loudwire Listicle. We're calling out the rankings and prepping our ears for the next episode: going over Aesop Rock's 'Garbology' and Abigail Williams' 'In The Shadow of A Thousand Suns', promising to deliver reviews you won't want to miss. It's a rollercoaster of discourse here, and you're invited to ride shotgun as we navigate the twists and turns of metal, gaming, and the ever-surprising world of podcasts. We're trying out something different for Descriptions and Titles, so bear with us :) Support the show Intro Song: "Center of Gravity" by Perceive//Persist (Ft.
