It’s Primordial Radio’s 8th birthday, and Moose and Hackett mark the occasion with plenty of laughter, reflection, and a fair bit of moaning.

From Pete's wedding stories and Hungarian fines to memories of the Long Road to Bruin, the conversation weaves between nostalgia, frustration, and hope for the future.

The guys reflect on the journey so far, why they’re still here after eight years, and the importance of keeping things fun, silly, and just a little bit reckless. From Monopoly pieces to McDonald’s “free” prizes, from dodgy flower show labouring jobs to big plans for daft stunts, it’s all in there.

And while there’s talk of memberships, challenges, and what the future holds, the overall takeaway is simple: dick around harder, do it in public, and keep having fun.

We sat down with Paradise Lost singer Nick Holmes to talk all about their brand-new album, Ascension and what it means to still be pushing boundaries after 17 albums.*Listen to Primordial Radio 24/7*

https://links.primordialradio.com/listenFrom the origins of the band’s name, inspired by John Milton’s Paradise Lost, to Nick’s fascination with religion (despite being an atheist), we dig into the stories and ideas that keep driving one of the UK’s most influential heavy bands.There's also plenty of laughs and dark humour, including memories of touring South America with Ozzy Osbourne, the lasting impact of Draconian Times, and what it really takes to keep creating after nearly four decades. Nick also opens up about the meaning behind "Serpent on the Cross", "Lay a Wreath Upon the World" and "Life Unknown", and why the music still matters more than ever.ONLINE

It would appear that Moose and Dews have been channelling their inner Waldorf and Statler this week, as their main focus appears to be complaining, at some length, about pretty much everything.

Listen to Primordial Radio 24/7 👇

⁠⁠⁠⁠https://links.primordialradio.com/listen⁠⁠⁠

Traffic, the fact it’s Autumn already, dark mornings, spurious research, forward planning, vitamins for babies, little bells that go *tinkle* and Moose’s fundamental unemployability are all among the subjects that arouse their ire this week, before they - eventually - get down to business. 

They discuss the upcoming Halloween and Dirty Panda merch drop, and definitely do not discuss anything exclusively just for the podcast audience. Nope. Not this week.

Have you ever wondered how exactly a podcast could go from a discussion about Canadian wildlife and sharting eagles, to a heartfelt conversation about mental health and mortality? Well wonder no more! Listen to Primordial Radio 24/7 👇

⁠⁠⁠https://links.primordialradio.com/listen⁠⁠⁠

In this episode of the Primordial podcast, Moose and Dews catch up in their inimitable fashion, bouncing between subjects like a naked old guy on a trampoline. They’re also joined by Tammy and Kris Leech, who share the lengths they have gone to in order to organise the Primordial Burns Supper for 2026.

The pre-sale for System Of A Down tickets in London also went live today. Moose’s attempts to buy some did not go well.

This leads on to what may prove to be the most hard-hitting, gut-wrenching, emotional show that Primordial Radio will ever do. Neil Cossey has been an integral part of Primordial from the beginning, and he is sadly dying of cancer. The one, singular silver lining to this particular mushroom cloud is that he knows it’s coming, so he can prepare for it as best one can, including the playlist for his funeral and wake. Moose and Dews reveal details of a very special People’s Playlist show entitled SEE YOU ON SIDE-B, curated entirely by Neil. This is the soundtrack that he has created, that will see him through to the B-side in the exact way he chooses.

He’ll be joining Moose to talk about music, life, death, and everything in-between. Come join the celebration of Neil’s life, Monday Sept 15th at 16:00 on Primordial Radio.

Lorna Shore frontman Will Ramos joins Adam Whalley to discuss the band’s new album, I Feel the Everblack Festering Within Me.

Will reveals how the band poured everything into its creation, layering technical songwriting, orchestral ambition, and raw emotion. He also dives into the band’s detailed writing process, from initial demos to his own “vocal prison” sessions, and building the Lorna Shore sound that’s become a modern metal benchmark.

Will also speaks about early influences like In Flames and Rage Against the Machine, his deep admiration for Sleep Token, and the personal journey of finding vulnerability in music.

To wrap it all up, he curates his dream festival lineup and shares what fans can expect from the new record, describing it as "The Best Version of Lorna Shore to date".

Mental health is an important subject for Primordial. Moose and Dews strongly believe that discussing their own mental health can help others to discuss their own, be it with family, friends, or professionals. This week on the podcast sees them doing just that, with both of them seeming to surprise themselves with how well they’re doing.

They also discuss the latest in the world of Primordial, including surprise rum (the best kind of rum!), even more surprising mead, and upcoming merch drops. Quote of the week goes to Dews "I'm rubbish at taking drugs!"

Dinosaur Pile-Up frontman Matt Bigland opens up in this new interview about the band’s triumphant return with their new album 'I’ve Felt Better', out now via Mascot Records.

Listen to Primordial Radio 24/7 👇

https://links.primordialradio.com/listen

From a long creative process shaped by illness and introspection to the emotionally charged visuals by Fred Stonehouse, Matt shares the deeply personal journey behind the album’s creation and why this record means more than any before.

Matt reveals how a devastating battle with ulcerative colitis left him physically and mentally broken, leading to ego death, creative burnout, and long periods away from the stage. But through it all, music remained, if not as a lifeline, then as an inevitable force.

He explains how his relationship with fellow musician and now-wife Karen Diō brought clarity, love, and fresh purpose. The conversation also touches on the irony of fame, the realities of DIY artistry, and the bittersweet experience of returning to festivals like 2000 Trees.

After confirming for 100% certainty that Dewsbury is not currently on meth (which kinda sounds like something that someone on meth would say) he and Moose catch up to discuss plans for the Primordial Burns Supper in Inverness next year. Tickets for the event will shortly be on sale from the website, including a hotel deal AND a trip to Loch Ness! How amazing would it be if the PRFam were the ones to finally confirm the existence of Nessie?! It could happen. 

The guys are also joined by Katy Baker from Metal For Good, who are the official charity partners of Primordial Radio. Moose and Katy discuss the charity's activities over the summer, current events, and look ahead to the upcoming Metal Merch Day, coming in October.
