IoMP 141: What Have You Been Listening To? - April 2026
This month’s WHYBLT episode starts exactly how you’d expect… if your co-host showed up drunk, holding a beer league championship trophy, and immediately turned the podcast into a post-game interview.
From there? Absolute chaos.
But underneath the insanity is one of the most surprisingly stacked months of metal in 2026 so far.
Collin and Tom break down a bizarre, genre-defying Quebec act that might be the first real “anti-AI” band, a cursed YouTube supergroup track that should not exist… but does, thrash continuing its dominance in the “Year of Thrash”, a massive independent success story from one of Canada’s fastest bands, a breakout international act blending culture, melody, and metal in a huge way, and a handful of albums that genuinely caught them off guard (for better or worse).
If you want raw, unfiltered metal talk mixed with dumb jokes, hot takes, and the occasional actually-good insight… this is it.
