2026 BIG METAL PREVIEW

Ep. 183

Who wants another year of big riffs, sweaty moshpits & irresponsible vinyl shopping? Tregenza, Beandog & Padre look forward to all the expected metal happenings in 2026... New albums from the likes of Corrosion Of Conformity, Anthrax, URNE, WORM as well as the festivals & gigs we are most looking forward to... Masters Of The Riff, Incineration, Desertfest & more! We also shout out some bands we think will have a BIG 2026!
