A sideways look at the protests currently happening in Serbia and other places around the world as Primordial played there and Croatia last weekend, what is Balkanisation? are the current state of protests and politics in many areas of the world what the West predicted? not quite in my opinion, all this, what was the crowd chanting between songs? some random Kneecap commentary and why I prefer dirty, sweaty venues with some dark history and sticky floors to the modern sanitized live experience.....

Today's podcast is a great interview with the gracious, insightful and erudite Vorphalack from Swiss legends SAMAEL! Before Dark throne or Emperor was playing Black Metal....we had 'Worship Him'......one of the very very first second wave of Black Metal albums! and still an absolute killer of an album! Hugely influential on me at the time, so was a great experience to chat with Vorph about where it all started, the old demo, 7" and tape trading days all the way up to the present day! and it starts.....backstage at a Saxon show in the lone star state of Texas!

also up as a video over on my Youtube

So after some digging it seems our boy Voltaire didn't actually say "I wholly disapprove of what you say—and will defend to the death your right to say it.".....it's an aphorism from a book written over 100 years ago, a Voltarianism one could say, but the principle remains, so I get into the Kneecap debate even more in this episode, asking where have all the people been for the last few years on the debate who are now posting IstandwithKneecap? as governments brought in more stringent speech codes and plenty of other bands fell foul of censorship and cancellation? so is it all just tribal? and do they have the right to say as they please? let's get into it....and the complex conundrums involved in analysing it......

Episode 251 is a chat w / Charles (GHUL) from Mayhem (ex Cradle of Filth / Imperial Vengeance) which is also a video chat over on my Youtube channel! follow the link below. How did he end up in Mayhem? is there a difference in approaching songwriting? why did he leave Cradle and how having a plan, a goal and being dogged in pursuing your goals can pay off! This and sliding doors moments in your career, the anthropology of touring and how it can make monsters!!!!

Somehow I have made it to 250 episodes so it's the customary cliche to look back over the last 5 years! from the podcasts lockdown origins, lessons learned or still the same old stubborn mule? Where our scene has gone in the last half decade, A.I, society, freedom of speech, authoritarianism, the West, politics, pangolins and taking the piss.....it's all here

Anything to avoid talking about politics right? well today's podcast is part one of an Instagram Q and A, pretty random.....from receiving the first Blasphemy demo back in the day on cassette, steam versus diesel to the footballer Adriano not really fulfilling his career, it's all there

What are the top 5 things Americans want to talk to an Irishman about? maybe not quite what you think.....last week Primordial returned to the USA for some East coast shows and Hell's Heroes festival in Texas. This is just a scattergun jetlagged account of my impressions! a state of the union address if you will.....
