THE YEAR OF THRASH! 2026 Predictions for Thrash Metal, Canadian Tech Death, New Music & More | MRP #069
The Metal Robot Podcast (2026-02-09) Riffs, groove, and chaos—this week’s Metal Robot Podcast hits it all. We kick off with reviews of three recent albums: Lily Löwe’s melodic hard rock Beautiful Disaster, the sludgy, groovy doom-tinged The Beauty of Obliteration from Sleeping Giant, and Deathmarch’s furious old-school death metal Violent Retaliation.
Then, it’s time to spin the Metal Archives Roulette and see what fate has in store: Widow’s Peak, a technical death metal juggernaut from Calgary, gets the full breakdown across three blistering tracks. Expect sharp riffs, crushing drums, and a healthy dose of sarcasm.
Finally, Tom sits down with Collin from Thrashers Paradise for the “Year of Thrash 2026” segment, predicting how thrash metal will dominate stages and playlists this year.
Whether you’re into tech-death, old-school brutality, sludge, or melodic hard rock, this episode is loaded with insights, laughs, and headbanging moments.
