AGITATORS ANONYMOUS the Alan Averill Podcast

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......

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.....

Bloodbark is a project of unknown origin made by an unknown number of people embracing that nature is the creator, storyteller and the artist behind it all. This idea sprouted with the 2018’s album Bonebranches, where no human presence tarnished the art. The human aspect remained hidden, covered by snow while nature and emotion sang across beautiful landscapes and whispered verses with melodies to every listener, so it welcomed them into its utterly cold embrace of winter to lull into a cozy and familiar slumber. In the same vein Sacred Sound of Solitude banishes all humanity and captures the snow, spirits and creatures

in a world that was born anew. And there, little stories form like snowflakes within forests and mountains to bring out majestic melodies intertwined with harsh winds and thundering avalanches. It dwells into emotional journeys of spirits, battles of elements and disintegration of living beings into eternal nature.

While Bloodbark started as a perfect representation of the Majestic in Atmospheric Black Metal, it now evolved into a crisp, cold and yet more complex distinction of the Majestic. However, it does not stray too far from Atmospheric Black Metal but deepens its roots. All of this is accompanied by stunning photography of nature in winter and art that is not outsourced. This package is wrapped with a mix and master by Gabriele Gramaglia and released by Northern Silence Productions.

Bobby from Pentagram is right now one of the most famous people in the world, after 50 years....condensed into 15 seconds, more promo than you could shake a stick at. How should we feel about that as music fans? Should we dismiss it as once again the instant and ugly nature of the modern world and it's short attention span or simply crack a wry smile and enjoy it for what it is! One of rocks true survivors getting his moment in the sun....you decide

STOP THIEF!!! Across the world copyright law is quietly changing or being changed, why? AI models have to learn from somewhere and be trained on existing art. Yet recognising this or compensating artists is a pain in the proverbials for governments who want investment in their countries and economies, so copyright laws are being challenged and changed. A group of artists released a silent album last week in protest, calling it theft!! I discuss this, how artists have very little ability to stand in the way of digital progress. Beginning however with my own trials and tribulations involved in trying to prove to a bot that I am who I am and I own the things I made back before the internet!!

There may be trouble ahead!
