The 2026 Winter Games are in the books, and while Team USA is bringing home the double-gold after those heart-stopping overtime wins in Milan, we aren’t here to gloat. On this episode of The Heavy Metal Hangover, Rex and Duff are being good sports and paying tribute to the birthplace of hockey by recognizing the absolute titans of Canadian Rock and Metal. We’re taking a break from the rivalry to celebrate the bands that have provided the soundtrack to the rink for decades. We’ll be spinning and discussing the legends: from the progressive mastery of Rush and the high-speed fury of Annihilator and Exciter, to the mad genius of Devin Townsend. We even dig into the "Hockey-Metal Connection"—why heavy riffs and slap shots go together like beer and a playoff beard. It’s a celebration of gold medals and the "Great White North’s" heaviest exports. Grab a Molson (or a Banquet), raise a glass to the winners and the legends, and let’s get loud!

This week on The Heavy Metal Hangover, Rex and Duff are taking a massive ride through the history of the Metal Gods themselves: Judas Priest. We are attempting the impossible—ranking all 19 studio albums from worst to best. From the bluesy beginnings of Rocka Rolla and the twin-guitar revolution of British Steel and Screaming for Vengeance, to the crushing intensity of Painkiller and the modern masterpiece that is Invincible Shield, we’re breaking it all down.
We’ll be debating the Halford vs. Ripper eras, discussing the experimental shifts of the late '80s, and deciding which records truly stand at the top of the mountain. Whether you're a lifelong fan or a new recruit to the metal faith, you won't want to miss this definitive countdown. Grab your leather jacket, crank the volume, and find out where your favorite Priest record landed!

But that’s not all—the wait is over, and we’re finally giving our full, unfiltered thoughts on the brand-new Megadeth album. Does Dave still have the bite? How do the new riffs stack up against the classics? We’ll break down the tracks, the tone, and the lineup to see where this new chapter fits into the band's massive legacy. Grab a beer, warm up your neck muscles, and join us for the definitive Megadeth deep dive!
