Heavy Metal News & Interviews: The Loaded Radio Podcast
The global metalcore landscape is about to shift. This Friday, January 23, 2026, the Japanese juggernauts Crystal Lake will release their highly anticipated new album, The Weight Of Sound. It is a record that doesn't just represent a new chapter for the band; it's a definitive statement of intent from their powerhouse vocalist, John Centorrino.
On this week's edition of the Loaded Radio Podcast, I sit down with John to go deep into the creative process behind the new record, the surreal journey of landing one of the most coveted gigs in modern metal, and the future of the metalcore genre.
Crystal Lake will unleash The Weight Of Sound this Friday. In our exclusive interview, frontman John Centorrino breaks down the vocal intensity of the new tracks and his transition into the group. The second half of the podcast features a full "Nuclear" news breakdown covering the Roger Waters vs. The Osbournes feud, Ken Susi officially joining All That Remains, and a massive week of tour announcements.
