The Zach Moonshine Show – Maidenhead's Zack Roberts Talks Maximum Clonage, Megadeth, Gear & What's Next

Zack Roberts, guitarist for Massachusetts/Rhode Island thrash/death metal powerhouse Maidenhead, joins The Zach Moonshine Show to talk about the band's brand-new album Maximum Clonage.Zack goes deep into the making of the album, the band's new lineup, guest appearances from Chris Poland, Glen Drover and Rich Gray, working with Randy Burns, the old-school production and guitar tones, the stories behind the songs, and the killer artwork inspired by classic 80s thrash and death metal.We also get into Zack's early introduction to Iron Maiden and Megadeth, the band's history, touring California, upcoming shows, re-recording Decapitation of a Maiden, new material, and a very cool idea for a Maximum Clonage Sega Genesis-style video game.As Zack puts it, the album has a sound that's "not sterile, not overly produced, pretty old school, but still kind of modern."And there's plenty more metal nerd shit along the way, including guitars, Marshalls, album artwork, Metal Archives, independent musicianship, merch ideas and the realities of doing everything yourself in 2026.Maidenhead - Maximum Clonage is out now.Recorded live August 14, 2026 on The Zach Moonshine Show / Metal Devastation Radio.https://metaldevastationradio.com/thebeast/blog/29309/maidenhead-guitarist-zack-roberts-talks-maximum-clonage-chris-poland-glen-drover-randy-burns-and-the-future-of-thrash-metal
