Welcome to 2026! For our fiftieth episode, we cover everything from the past six weeks, from November 28th through January 9th! There were a lot of great releases at the end of 2025, but this year is definitely off to a slow start!

We close out the show with an Extreme Submission from the American Black Metal band Ashenheart. They are releasing a new single on January 26th called “Stars Wept to the Sea” in memory of the main guitarist’s wife passing away from cancer. All proceeds from the bandcamp sale will be donated to the American Cancer Society, so please visit at the link below and donate if you can!

Check out their bandcamp:
