2025 was just the warm-up. 2026 is the real deal.

We spent our first three episodes listening, learning, and leveling up. Now, we’re proud to present Altered Judgement exactly how it was meant to be seen and heard:

• Perfected Audio 🎧

• Refined Visuals 📺

• Pure Energy 🔥

This is the standard. This is the identity. This is Altered Judgement.
