IoMP 124: Megadeth Songs We Want To Hear at Canada Life Place in London
Thrash metal fans, this one’s for you. With a stacked lineup featuring Megadeth, Anthrax, and Exodus — and all three bands dropping new material in 2026 — this might quietly be one of the most exciting thrash years in recent memory.
In this episode, Collin and Tom break down the Megadeth songs they need to hear live (from “Dystopia” to “Tornado of Souls”), and why “Sweating Bullets” might be the most meme-worthy crowd moment of the night. Plus, the deep cuts they’d kill for (yes, including Anthrax’s “Medusa”), why Bonded by Blood is mandatory thrash education, and whether “The Last Note” should be Megadeth’s official closer from now until eternity
There’s praise for modern Megadeth, debate about Big Four rankings, and a passionate breakdown of why thrash remains one of metal’s most enduring forces.
If you’re heading to this tour — or just want to relive peak thrash energy — this episode is your pre-show hype session.
