The chaos is coming to Castle Monroe.

Join The Burton Beat as we sit down with the unapologetically heavy and emotionally charged force known as Dying Under The Influence. From blistering breakdowns to raw, unfiltered lyrics, DUTI is a band that lays it all on the table, and we’re diving straight into their world.

Set in the amazing Castle Monroe in Lapeer, this exclusive interview digs deep into the music, the message, and the madness that fuels DUTI’s unique sound.

This is more than a conversation. This is a confession.

Brutal. Honest. Loud. This is Dying Under The Influence.

Today, we mourn the passing of a legend, Ozzy Osbourne, the voice that sparked a revolution in rock and metal, and the spirit that defined an era.

From Black Sabbath to a staggering solo career, Ozzy didn’t just perform music. He lived it, bled it, and gave generations of artists permission to be raw, weird, loud, and real. His voice was unmistakable. His presence? Unforgettable.

Here at The Burton Beat, we don’t just cover music. We live for the stories behind it. Ozzy's story was one of chaos, redemption, power, and passion. He didn’t just change music,he shaped it. He showed us all that you could rise from the ashes, scream into the void, and still come out with a legacy that echoes forever.

To Ozzy: Thank you for everything. You gave us more than music. You gave us a movement. We hope you know just how many lives you touched, how many musicians you inspired, and how many fans you gave a home to.

Rest easy, Madman. We’ll keep your fire burning. 🔥
Forever the Prince of Darkness. 🖤
