Jonas Björler On At The Gates' Final Chapter & The Death Of Tomas Lindberg on The Loaded Radio Podcast

from Heavy Metal News & Interviews: The Loaded Radio Podcast · host Scott Penfold|Loaded Radio Podcast Host|Program Director

The melodic death metal world changed forever in 2025 with the death of Tomas "Tompa" Lindberg. This week on The Loaded Radio Podcast, we are joined by founding bassist Jonas Björler to discuss the band's final masterpiece, The Ghost Of A Future Dead.   Recorded more than two years ago and held in accordance with Lindberg's final wishes, this album serves as the definitive closing chapter for the kings of Gothenburg. Jonas opens up about the "lost" recording sessions at Fascination Street Studios, his personal memories of his brother-in-arms, and the cold reality of whether At The Gates can—or should—continue without its iconic voice.   In the second half of the show, Scott Penfold breaks down the most explosive news week of the year: 🛡️ The Black Sabbath / Earth Settlement: Sharon Osbourne has officially reclaimed the legendary 1969 "Earth" tapes from Jim Simpson. We discuss what this means for the band's legacy and the potential release of these "Holy Grail" blues-metal demos. 🎸 Bruce Kulick's Life-Saving Surgery: The KISS icon speaks out on his recovery from a major heart valve procedure. We debunk the "emergency" rumors and look ahead to his return to the stage. 💄 Marilyn Manson's "2.0" Lineup: The tour has started, and the lineup is a shocker. From the return of Tim Skold to the departure of Reba Meyers, we analyze the personnel shuffle and the return of deep cuts like "(s)AINT." 🤘 Godsmack's Final Curtain Call: Sully Erna reveals the "Godsmack 2.0" era. With original members Tony Rombola and Shannon Larkin bowing out, find out who's stepping in and why Sully says new music is coming in 2027. Join the conversation at LoadedRadio.com.
