AA is on his way to Messe Des Morts festival in Montreal, Canada this week so the podcast discusses the 6th Primordial album 'To the nameless dead', it's writing, recording, influences and legacy 15 years on. The album that arguably brought the band to another level....maybe the most beloved by fans, maybe the most popular, maybe the best? who knows exactly....so while the world is talking about FTX you can listen to AA pontificate about standing around in an old studio in Wales 15 years ago!

How will Artificial Intelligence affect songwriting and musicians? as on a long car journey a motley crew of failed musicians got to hear an AI created U2 song on the radio...how far are we from AI writing whole new albums for long defunct bands? could they then tour the Metaverse? do young people care, will they care if their popstars are only Avatars and not real musicians in the future? How will record companies gate keep the technology to stop every punter with the technology releasing new AI music every hour of everyday?....this and some random political commentary and nonsense Agitation!!!

As promised E 133 is a deep dive into the curious case of Doom Death metal, its origins, formative bands, where it went shortly afterwards, why it slipped from the mainstream public consciousness and never got the respect and resurrection it deserved in the modern underground and metal world. Why the North of England? and stories about recording with Primordial in the old Academy Studios the spiritual home of the early Doom Death metal scene! Time for a rebirth! Definitely

In E 132 AA considers the role of Artificial Intelligence Art generators, recently producing lyrics videos for the likes of Slayer and Megadeth, will there be a need for graphic artists in the future? will we need humans to write songs...to engineer them, or even to sing and perform them? all this and a dumb rock n roll story to fully illustrate how AA has little intelligence and never really learns...

Are we living too fast for slower music? have our attention spans been shredded too much to take in bands who would have made the main stage at a festival 20 or 30 years ago? are we just taking in too much negative information to listen to what we consider to negative music anymore within metal? are we just living too fast to take time out with an album to fully absorb it and what part do podcasts themselves play in that?

In a long overdue episode 130 is a re-reading and discussion of George Orwells 1984, is it a cliche to reference? why do people react to the word Orwellian, does it exist. Why does every generation since its writing find something within it that reminds them of their own society and resonates deeply. Is it a warning from history? does it really read like an instruction manual for our political class or is that just a cliche. A deep dive into one of the most brutal, dark, unrelenting and grim novels ever written. 1984.
