Iron Maiden's new drummer conundrum leads us to more free speech issues this time to begin with. This week I discuss the case of Bob Vvylan at Glastonbury festival, getting the crowd to chant "Death to the IDF" (Israeli defence forces). Is this artistic license? certainly it was shown on the BBC, who the taxpayers pay for their license to do so, yet members of the public are going to jail for tweets, is this just? via Kneecap as usual....you'd swear it was a marketing scheme at this stage eh? and on to Velvet Sundown, an AI 70s style rock band who Spotify have been pushing who with no backstory have 500 000 monthly listeners and rising....what is fake and what isn't, let's get to the bottom of it all.....support the show over at :https://patreon.com/AlanAverillPrimordial on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/artist/0BZr6WHaejNA63uhZZZZek?si=yFFV8ypSSDOESUX62_0TzQsponsored by Metal Blade records https://metalblade.indiemerch.com/ promo code AA 2024 for 10% off your order ships worldwideFor info on my work as a booking agent go to: https://www.facebook.com/DragonProductionsOfficialor email alan@dragon-productions.comPrimordial cds/lps available from https://www.metalblade.com/primordial/death metalVERMINOUS SERPENThttps://open.spotify.com/artist/54Wpl9JD0Zn4rhpBvrN2Oa?si=zOjIulHXS5y9lW1YHMhgTAdoomDREAD SOVEREIGN https://open.spotify.com/artist/60HY4pl0nbOrZA6u2QnqDN?si=sxQ5_1htR6G3WIvy1I_wXAgothAPRILMENhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/7GzLO1YJClmN5TvV4A37MJ?si=cRXSk24lQKWSqJG-B8KbWQSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.

We're talking about the sonic shifts that would set up glam and thrash to take the world by storm just moments later. Join us as we discuss Metal Massacre, Metal Blade, Bitch, Warlord, Armored Saint, Griffin, Truama, and much, much more.

A sideways look at the protests currently happening in Serbia and other places around the world as Primordial played there and Croatia last weekend, what is Balkanisation? are the current state of protests and politics in many areas of the world what the West predicted? not quite in my opinion, all this, what was the crowd chanting between songs? some random Kneecap commentary and why I prefer dirty, sweaty venues with some dark history and sticky floors to the modern sanitized live experience.....Primordial cds/lps available fromhttps://www.metalblade.com/primordial/http://www.patreon.com/AlanAverillMy Youtube channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@AlanAverillNemtheangahead over there and subscribePrimordial on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/0BZr6WHaejNA63uhZZZZek?si=yFFV8ypSSDOESUX62_0TzQsponsored by Metal Blade recordshttps://metalblade.indiemerch.com/promo code AA 2024 for 10% off your order ships worldwideFor info on my work as a booking agent go to:https://www.facebook.com/DragonProductionsOfficialor emailalan@dragon-productions.comI made some very brutal old school death metal right hereVERMINOUS SERPENThttps://open.spotify.com/artist/54Wpl9JD0Zn4rhpBvrN2Oa?si=zOjIulHXS5y9lW1YHMhgTACheck out my other doom bandDREAD SOVEREIGNhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/60HY4pl0nbOrZA6u2QnqDN?si=sxQ5_1htR6G3WIvy1I_wXAand take a listen to some old school electro goth I madeAPRILMENhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/7GzLO1YJClmN5TvV4A37MJ?si=cRXSk24lQKWSqJG-B8KbWQSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.

This week, we bring you the first installment of Jarvis' interview with Russ Tippins (guitars/vocals) and Cindy Maynard (bass/vocals) from Metal Blade recording artists Tanith. Both musicians discuss their formative years, including Cindy's travails trying to learn guitar as a lefty and Russ's experiences in England starting a band (Satan) with his schoolmates. They talk about the creative process and the tendency of "new" songs - especially those recorded after a band's first album - to evolve and morph after they are performed live many times. You will also hear how Russ and Cindy decided to form Tanith after playing cover songs and realizing how well their voices fit together. The interview covers a lot of ground, with fascinating stories and an abundance of laughter. Listen at nightdemon.net/podcast or anywhere you listen to podcasts!

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......Primordial cds/lps available fromhttps://www.metalblade.com/primordial/http://www.patreon.com/AlanAverillMy Youtube channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@AlanAverillNemtheangahead over there and subscribePrimordial on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/0BZr6WHaejNA63uhZZZZek?si=yFFV8ypSSDOESUX62_0TzQsponsored by Metal Blade recordshttps://metalblade.indiemerch.com/promo code AA 2024 for 10% off your order ships worldwideFor info on my work as a booking agent go to:https://www.facebook.com/DragonProductionsOfficialor emailalan@dragon-productions.comI made some very brutal old school death metal right hereVERMINOUS SERPENThttps://open.spotify.com/artist/54Wpl9JD0Zn4rhpBvrN2Oa?si=zOjIulHXS5y9lW1YHMhgTACheck out my other doom bandDREAD SOVEREIGNhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/60HY4pl0nbOrZA6u2QnqDN?si=sxQ5_1htR6G3WIvy1I_wXAand take a listen to some old school electro goth I madeAPRILMENhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/7GzLO1YJClmN5TvV4A37MJ?si=cRXSk24lQKWSqJG-B8KbWQSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.

We all have vivid memories of our first rock concerts. You know the ones - when you're young, full of anticipation with no knowledge or understanding of the assault on your senses that a great rock show brings. These are the moments we capture on First Concert Memories and for episode 21, we have none other than Brian Slagel. Yes metalheads, THE Brian Slagel who founded Metal Blade Records more than 40 years ago. The first man to put a Metallica song on a commercially available tape. That's how we know Brian. But on this episode, he's taking us back to when he was a 16 year old KISS fan, hoping to get to see his heroes live for the first time. Thankfully, his neighbor Carl Graves (a performer and musician in his own right who would tour with Oingo Boingo in the 80s & 90s) told Brian's mother that he'd take him to the show and make sure he got home safe. So Brian saw his first ever concert - KISS on the Alive! Tour on February 24, 1976. A teenage Brian was blown away by the pyro, the fire and blood spitting demon, the loudness of the Marshall stacks and the spectacle that a KISS concert in 1976 offered. Brian also tells us about getting to know the original members of KISS on a personal basis, which band he's seen over 300x and his killer new podcast - The 100 Songs That Define Heavy Metal. It's a fantastic time with a metal legend!!

Danish death-metallic hardcore band Lifesick's latest (and first for label Metal Blade) album ‘Loved by None, Hated by All' was released late 2024 to much acclaim. A record that showcased a tumultuous masterwork of bleak aggressive beauty, Lifesick in all its glory, but with so much more to it as well. It has been, rightfully, lauded as their best work yet which is saying something when you consider the heft and weight of their previous releases. Now, it's all about maintaining the momentum, getting out and wrecking venues around the world, while also preparing for what might come in the future, as far as new music goes. That's Lifesick for you though, always moving forward with ferocious intent. An aspect of their personalities that we discuss in this interview with guitarist Nicolai Lindegaard and vocalist Simon Shoshan. As well as taking a slight retrospective look at Loved by None, Hated by All, especially the work that went into it, how it has shaped the band today, and so much more.

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!Primordial cds/lps available from https://www.metalblade.com/primordial/http://www.patreon.com/AlanAverillMy Youtube channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@AlanAverillNemtheangahead over there and subscribePrimordial on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/0BZr6WHaejNA63uhZZZZek?si=yFFV8ypSSDOESUX62_0TzQsponsored by Metal Blade recordshttps://metalblade.indiemerch.com/promo code AA 2024 for 10% off your order ships worldwideFor info on my work as a booking agent go to:https://www.facebook.com/DragonProductionsOfficialor emailalan@dragon-productions.comI made some very brutal old school death metal right hereVERMINOUS SERPENThttps://open.spotify.com/artist/54Wpl9JD0Zn4rhpBvrN2Oa?si=zOjIulHXS5y9lW1YHMhgTACheck out my other doom bandDREAD SOVEREIGNhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/60HY4pl0nbOrZA6u2QnqDN?si=sxQ5_1htR6G3WIvy1I_wXAand take a listen to some old school electro goth I madeAPRILMENhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/7GzLO1YJClmN5TvV4A37MJ?si=cRXSk24lQKWSqJG-B8KbWQSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.

A few weeks ago I posted on my Instagram (nemtheanga_primordial) some old ticket stubs from the mid 80s to the early 90s and sure enough the violence that surrounded those shows got mentioned in the comments, so I thought I'd revisit that, the reasons why it was happening, a stabbing at a punk gig in 1977 which cast a shadow over gigs in the State for years and I ask, was it just a British isles and Irish thing? if so, why? How it stopped, why gigs now are often just corporate and empty feeling and whisper it....those were the great days, the classic gigs and we wouldn't have it any other way....My Youtube channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@AlanAverillNemtheangahead over there and subscribePrimordial on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/0BZr6WHaejNA63uhZZZZek?si=yFFV8ypSSDOESUX62_0TzQsponsored by Metal Blade records https://metalblade.indiemerch.com/promo code AA 2024 for 10% off your order ships worldwideFor info on my work as a booking agent go to: https://www.facebook.com/DragonProductionsOfficialI made some very brutal old school death metal right hereVERMINOUS SERPENThttps://open.spotify.com/artist/54Wpl9JD0Zn4rhpBvrN2Oa?si=zOjIulHXS5y9lW1YHMhgTACheck out my other doom bandDREAD SOVEREIGNhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/60HY4pl0nbOrZA6u2QnqDN?si=sxQ5_1htR6G3WIvy1I_wXAand take a listen to some old school electro goth I madeAPRILMENhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/7GzLO1YJClmN5TvV4A37MJ?si=cRXSk24lQKWSqJG-B8KbWQSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.

In today's episode I discuss the idea that the album itself, one of the most defining things of modern culture is becoming a passion project, how deep cuts can just get lost completely and how the streaming format encourages endless singles. How this affects the vision of artists and how with touring becoming so expensive bands revert to greatest hits sets for festivals. Is making a full length right now actually detrimental to the grim business of driving numbers.
