British metallic hardcore band Guilt Trip have taken part in an episode of Loudwire’s Paranormal Prison, swapping the concert stage for a ghost-hunting adventure inside the Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield, Ohio.
The band’s appearance forms the seventh episode of the show’s fourth season and was scheduled for release on November 6, 2026. Filming took place during the 2026 Inkcarceration Music & Tattoo Festival, which is held at the historic former prison.
Paranormal Prison is hosted by Josh Bernstein and paranormal investigator Katrina Weidman. The series brings musicians into allegedly haunted areas of the building, where they use investigative devices and react to unexplained sounds and stories associated with the location.
The Ohio State Reformatory opened in the nineteenth century and operated as a prison until 1990. Its imposing architecture and history have made it a popular destination for tours, television productions and paranormal entertainment.
The building is also familiar to film fans because it appeared in The Shawshank Redemption. Its connection with Inkcarceration provides an unusual backdrop for a festival combining heavy music, tattoo culture and the atmosphere of a historic institution.
The fourth season of Paranormal Prison has also featured Motionless In White, The Used, Lorna Shore, Hollywood Undead, Starset and Get Scared. Alien Ant Farm were announced for the season’s eighth and final episode on November 13.
The series deliberately places believers and skeptics in the same setting. While the participants may report unusual experiences, claims of supernatural activity remain unverified and are best understood as part of the program’s entertainment format.
Guilt Trip emerged from the British hardcore scene with a sound combining metal-influenced riffs, forceful vocals and the urgency of hardcore punk. Their recordings and energetic live shows have earned them a following within the international heavy music community.
The episode gives viewers a chance to see the musicians outside their usual performance environment.
