IoMP 110: Most Anticipated Metal Albums of 2026 (so far)

The Influencers of Metal Podcast kicks off 2026 the only way it knows how: dad jokes, metal hype, and one absolutely devastating concert regret. Collin & Tom dive into the most anticipated metal releases of early 2026, including Megadeth’s self-titled swan song, Kreator’s “Krushers of the World”, Poppy’s continued metal evolution with “Empty Hands”, Nanowar of Steel’s unhinged new EP, Gaerea’s highly anticipated follow-up to Coma, and Rob Zombie’s upcoming album “The Great Satan.”Along the way, we get thrash debates, tour hype, college trauma, foot-related power metal, and proof that sometimes being responsible is the worst metal decision you can make.Check out more from Collin!https://indi1015.ca/shows/thrashers-paradise/https://www.youtube.com/@thrashersparadise4132https://www.instagram.com/thrashers_paradise/https://www.facebook.com/Thrashers.Paradise.666/Check out more from Tom!https://themetalrobot.com/https://www.youtube.com/@MetalRobotReviewshttps://www.facebook.com/theMetalRobothttps://x.com/theMetalRobothttps://www.instagram.com/the.metalrobot/MUSIC:Megadeth “Tipping Point”Poppy “Bruised Sky”Kreator “Seven Serpents”NanowaR of Steel “Feet & Greet (feat.
