Host Letty Sharp sits down with Wolfie (Vocals) and Kevin (Guitars) of Praelium, one of the most exciting new bands in the Irish metal scene. Praelium bring a crushing mix of alt-metal, groove metal, and thrash metal, and they’ve been making serious noise with the release of their debut EP Pigs (2025).

I sat down with Steve Maher (ex-Abaddon Incarnate, Ancient Malice) to talk about the band’s crushing debut Accept the Vile Gifts of the Dead. We dig into the chaotic roots of Irish deathgrind, finding the balance between memorable riffs and total filth, writing alongside Ian Lawless (Coldwar) and Adam Power (Sheep Dip), and how crust, grind, and death metal collide in the most vile way possible.

In this episode, I sit down with Irish metal trailblazers Machina Kore to dive deep into their fearless new album, Ghosts of Everest. Formed in 2020 and built on decades of hard-earned experience in the rock and metal scenes, the band share their journey from their raw debut EP 'Blood in Code' to the bold, genre-defying sound they’ve forged today.

We explore the emotional and philosophical heart of Ghosts of Everest—an album that takes listeners through the highs and lows of life, from self-inflicted struggles to challenges beyond our control, always underpinned by a message of strength and resilience. Track by track, we unpack the stories behind songs like the thunderous “Goliath,” the haunting “Stone to Farewell,” the visceral “Making a Monster,” and the title track that closes the record with a powerful statement.

Along the way, Machina Kore discuss their refusal to be boxed in by genre and the creative chemistry that fuels their music. We also get a glimpse into their writing process, their plans for the future, and the personal meaning behind some of their most intense lyrics.
