What happens when your worst fears as a singer are happening....right then and right there....your in-ear monitors fail, you can't hear a thing, you make a f'n huge mistake in front of 1000s of people, the show could go to hell and hangs on a knifes edge, got to call the gods of the manosphere for some self control and take command of the situation right? find out did I manage or not at Beyond the Gates. If a butterfly flaps its wings in Tokyo do we have a complete mud bath in a field in Germany? who knows.....

WHY DO BANDS RE-RECORD ALBUMS?

Contract issues, no royalties ever paid, in order to tour, to spike interest, a new singer, or maybe just for fun!

and what ever happened to the classic live album?

168 is a rambling random episode that started out as an attempt to answer questions put to me in Instagram that turned into a mini rant about everything from the drum machine on Bathory's 'Blood on Ice' via the dilemma of speaking your mind in interviews, wise man think all he says and dumb metal singer says all he thinks, which am I? does it do any good to debate who funds Greta or is Hate speech just bullying on steroids? Who knows....

Episode 167

is a chat w/ JAMES PLOTKIN

James is one of the most prolific underground artists of the last 30+ years, from his beginnings in the grindcore scene with Regurgitation in 1987, through OLD, Scorn, a myriad of solo and collaborative releases, from digital hardcore to dark ambient and many points between, Phantomsmasher, Khlyst, Jodis and now to a new Khanate album. He also is well known for producing, mixing, remixing and mastering for bands such as Sunn O))), Pelican, Isis, Earth and Nadja.....among many many more!

This is a very cool look into the life and times of a genuine outsider and groundbreaker within the underground music scene and industry!!

As Primordial is this weekend about to make the first video for the new album I discuss what goes into that, the crew, preparation, initial ideas, interpretation of lyrics, finding people who can work for cheap in a contracting industry but more expensive world! and ultimately why I often find the experience vaguely unsatisfying as juggling the logistics, finances and hope and wish to get eyeballs on the final product often jars with what is ultimately a creative and artistic endeavour....are they that important anymore?

With the release of the 10th Primordial album coming up, I thought it was time to look back on our 2nd album "Journey's End', perhaps the record that stands alone more than any other in our discography, a flawed gothic tragedy as one critic called it at the time. I look back over the writing and recording process and how it very nearly wasn't made at all!

After receiving the Analogue Black Terror book made by Metastazis from France and printed by Nuclear war now productions, which is a compendium of Black metal flyers, demo tape covers with some interesting and provoking introduction pieces I was inspired to go back to the moment of 1993 to consider the anniversary of the Primordial demo 'Dark romanticism' and to the late 80s and the birth of tape trading, consider what the early black and death metal underground meant, how it inspired and continues to inspire now after all this time!

A thousand years give or take a few after their creation, the Knights Templar still capture the public imagination, why? what is it about their myth that is so enduring, what is real and what is just pure fantasy? From Indiana Jones, to Dan brown novels to dodgy power metal albums their famous imagery, sigil and deeds still loom large over our history. Sex, Murder, Money and Intrigue! So in this episode I continue the historical thread I've been on and look at who they were, where they came from and what is fact and what is fiction from this fascinating period of history!!!
