(Recorded on 3/10/25)
We are back! On this episode of Distorted Entertainment, we catch up on life (new jobs!) before diving into the wildest news in rock and metal. We discuss Tool getting booed for playing the same setlist twice, Ghost enforcing a strict "No Phone" policy, and Gene Simmons charging fans $12,000 to work for him as a roadie.

Plus, we react to the rebranding of Mayhem Festival to "Miss Mayhem," discuss the rise of Sleep Token, and debate Primus getting a new drummer.

For the reviews, Mitchell dives into the atmospheric deathcore of The Acacia Strain (It Comes in Waves), while Ethan takes a left turn into German hip hop with Peter Fox.
