METAL BREAKDOWN DAILY: Ozzy Honored by US Congress + AMA Rock Snubs & Knocked Loose/Metallica Tour Diaries

On today's Metal Breakdown Daily, host Scott Penfold dives into a historic moment for the Prince of Darkness and a disappointing night for heavy music at the AMAs.

The Congress of Darkness: In a rare display of bipartisan rock appreciation, the life and legacy of Ozzy Osbourne was officially entered into the U.S. Congressional Record by Representative Victoria Spartz. We break down the tribute to Ozzy's "working-class hero" status and why the U.S. government is officially adopting Jack Osbourne as an honorary "Hoosier."

AMA Snub Season: The 2026 American Music Awards took place last night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, and the results have metal fans scratching their heads. Despite massive years from Linkin Park, Sleep Token, and Deftones, the rock categories were swept by pop-rockers Twenty One Pilots and breakthrough artist sombr. We discuss why the mainstream industry continues to overlook metal's massive chart and touring dominance.

Wherever They May Roam: Knocked Loose are conquering Europe alongside Metallica and Gojira, and they're taking fans behind the scenes. We check out their new web series documenting their largest tour to date, from headlining club shows to massive stadium stages in Berlin and Zurich.
