Motionless In White & Mastodon Drop Massive Fall 2026 Tour Dates + Devin Townsend on Strapping Young Lad Reunion Truth

On this morning's episode of the Metal Breakdown Daily, we are tracking a historic day of massive autumn tour announcements and a definitive truth bomb from one of extreme metal's greatest minds. First, we break down the major news from Scranton alternative metal titans Motionless In White. The band has officially shattered their silence to reveal the second leg of The Sweat And Blood Tour, booking a massive fall 2026 arena run. We give you the complete lineup featuring direct support from Dayseeker, alongside The Devil Wears Prada and Dark Divine, plus details on how to grab early tickets right now using the exclusive Blabbermouth presale code. Next, we shift to Mastodon, who are channeling an incredibly chaotic year of personal tragedy into their newly revealed headlining trek: The Poisonous Weapons Tour. Running throughout September and October, the nationwide run features an elite atmospheric post-metal package with Deafheaven and Alcest. We take you inside the deeply emotional inspiration behind their new Loma Vista standalone single, "Your Ghost Again", and look at drummer Brann Dailor's raw reflections on grieving the loss of his mother and late guitarist Brent Hinds while tracking the new music. Finally, we pull from our exclusive feature interview with the mad scientist himself, Devin Townsend. We asked Devin the ultimate question: Does he get sick of fans constantly begging for a Strapping Young Lad reunion? His brilliant, self-aware response is a masterclass in artistic growth. We discuss why he is deeply honored by the legacy, but why that door remains firmly shut because he refuses to drag his 25-year-old past mental trauma onto a modern touring stage. 📱 STAY CONNECTED: Get breaking rock and metal news updates 24/7 at: LoadedRadio.com Download the free Loaded Radio App in the Apple App Store and Google Play for live streaming, podcasts, and articles.
