Chaotic, Mayhem, and Groompy return with a powerful new episode of RockMental, kicking things off with a deep dive into Korn’s latest single “Reward the Scars” and why a band that’s been around for over 30 years can still hit us right in the emotions. With May being Mental Health Awareness Month, this episode explores the evolving relationship between rock music and mental health — how the songs we grew up with continue to resonate as we get older, and why honest, uncomfortable music still matters in our healing and survival. This week’s episode also delivers new rock music discovery, spotlighting three under‑the‑radar bands with under 100K monthly listeners who are bringing raw emotion, intensity, and creativity across metalcore, punk, and art‑rock. If you’re looking for new rock bands, heavy music with feeling, and artists worth adding to your playlists, this episode is for you. As always, the conversation blends rock culture, community, and lived mental health experiences from the RockMental crew. Featured Bands in this episode: * Gene Ross — A Dallas‑based metalcore band blending modern heaviness with emotional depth and early‑2000s emo and screamo influence. Gene Ross balance crushing riffs and vulnerable moments, creating cathartic songs that hit hard and feel deeply personal — perfect for fans of emotionally driven heavy music. * NoHay Niños En El Parque — Explosive and confrontational punk energy straight out of Monterrey, Mexico. No Hay Niños En El Parque fuse raw aggression with experimental and hardcore‑leaning textures, delivering chaotic, emotionally charged songs that refuse to sit still or play it safe. * BODEGA — Angular, sharp, and unmistakably off‑kilter, BODEGA bring New York City art‑punk swagger with hypnotic rhythms, biting guitars, and deadpan delivery. Their music is urgent, weird, and infectious — ideal for listeners who like their rock smart, tense, and unpredictable.
