Zahna | Rock 30 Guest Co-Host | March 28-29, 2026

March 2026 has already brought some heavy hitters to the Rock 30—Jacoby Shaddix, Atreyu, and Architects among them. But if you know LA Lloyd, you know it’s never just about the names you already know—it’s about what’s coming next. And when both Lloyd and Brian ‘Head’ Welch are paying attention to the same artist, it’s worth turning the volume up for Zahna.

Evil Twin

Before stepping into the Rock 30 spotlight, Zahna has been building something rooted in real experience—something far deeper than just heavy music. Her album Stronger Than Death was written during one of the most intense chapters of her life, as she underwent a kidney transplant and faced a difficult recovery that would ultimately shape the emotion and honesty behind the record. In her conversation with LA Lloyd, she describes the music as being “born in the crucible of suffering,” a journey through darkness that ultimately finds its way to light. That same mindset carries into her upcoming material, which she calls the “evil twin” of Stronger Than Death, pushing even further into that balance of struggle, truth, and catharsis that defines her sound.

Defiler

That intensity carries straight into her current single “Defiler,” a powerful collaboration with Brian ‘Head’ Welch of Korn, who not only helped shape the track but also steps in on a verse, adding another layer of grit and authenticity to the song. It’s a moment that connects Zahna’s rising voice with one of rock’s most recognizable names, but more importantly, it reinforces exactly why she’s on the radar right now. Catch Zahna co-hosting the Rock 30 this weekend on radio stations nationwide—and experience an artist whose story, sound, and purpose are just getting started
