Podcast appearances and mentions of sean long

I sit down with Rugby League icon Sean Long to talk about his incredible journey from signing with Wigan at just 15 years old to becoming one of the most respected players in the game. But his path wasn't always smooth. Sean opens up about the intense highs of winning championships and the crushing lows of injuries, struggles with mental health, and the challenges he faced post-retirement. This is a raw and honest conversation about resilience, authenticity, and the power of staying true to oneself, no matter the obstacles.

Last weekend, Inland Fisheries Ireland seized a net the length of a GAA pitch that is used to illegally catch salmon. IFI made this discovery at a location west of Tralee. Jerry spoke to Sean Long who’s the IFI’s south western director.

Michael Twohig, Committee Member of the Kanturk Trout Anglers Club and Sean Long, Inland Fisheries Ireland Director for the South West Region, discuss a major fish kill on the River Allow in Co Cork following a reported spillage at a water treatment plant.

WHILE SHE SLEEPS Deep into "Self Hell" with Groundbreaking New Album - Loaded Radio's Scott Penfold Interviews Guitarist Sean Long British metal outfit WHILE SHE SLEEPS are notorious for pushing boundaries and defying expectations. Their music is a potent blend of aggressive riffs, soaring vocals, and introspective lyrics, tackling social issues and personal struggles head-on. This relentless pursuit of evolution is on full display in their latest offering, the aptly titled "Self Hell." Released on March 29th, 2024, "Self Hell" marks the band's sixth studio album and a significant creative leap. Loaded Radio's Scott Penfold recently caught up with WHILE SHE SLEEPS guitarist and co-producer Sean Long for an in-depth conversation about the album's creation. Long delved into the collaborative writing process, his experiences as co-producer, and the deeper meaning behind "Self Hell." Breaking the Mold: A Collaborative "Self Hell" While WHILE SHE SLEEPS have never been afraid to experiment. From the melodic hooks of "SLEEPS SOCIETY" to the crushing brutality of "You Are We," their discography showcases a band unafraid to explore new sonic frontiers. "Self Hell" continues this trend, with a newfound emphasis on collaboration within the band. "This album feels like a second debut for us," Long reveals in the interview. "We made it a personal goal to make sure everyone was having fun on the day in the studio and not worrying too much about the future of the record, but more so that everybody feels included and content on the day of writing." This shift towards a more communal approach is evident throughout the record. WHILE SHE SLEEPS are known for vocalist Loz Carter's powerful delivery, "Self Hell" features a wider range of vocal styles, showcasing the band's collective talent. A Guitarist Takes the Helm: Sean Long as Co-Producer Long's role extends far beyond crafting the album's searing guitar work. He stepped into the co-producer role alongside long-time collaborator Carl Brown. This newfound responsibility allowed Long to directly shape the sonic landscape of "Self Hell." "We only ever sing or speak about things from experience," Long explains. "For me personally, talking about the nature of existence, using our own morality, pain and suffering, as a catalyst to look deeper, is something that I hold deep within myself, and that is the main focus of my purpose in life." This introspective approach extends to the production. Long worked tirelessly to create an atmosphere that mirrored the album's themes of self-discovery and existential exploration. Beyond the Music: Unpacking the Meaning of "Self Hell" "Self Hell" transcends the realms of headbanging anthems. The album delves into the complexities of the human experience, exploring themes of doubt, anxiety, and the constant battle within ourselves. The title track perfectly encapsulates this internal struggle. Released on September 13th, 2023, alongside a captivating music video, "Self Hell" served as a potent introduction to the album's overarching themes. "The album name is something that me and Loz stumbled across in the midst of trying to come up with a name," Long reveals. "But the content, the lyrical content and everything that we sing about is relevant either way." Singles Spark Excitement for "Self Hell" The release of WHILE SHE SLEEPS' "Self Hell" was preceded by a string of singles that showcased the album's diverse sound. The title track set the stage for a dark and introspective journey, while subsequent singles like "Down" (featuring Alex Taylor of MALEVOLENCE) and "Leave Me Alone" offered a more aggressive and in-your-face approach. The third single, "To the Flowers," released on February 14th, 2024, offered a more melodic and emotionally charged direction. This single, along with its accompanying music video, provided a glimpse into the album's softer side, proving WHILE SHE SLEEPS can be equally adept at crafting heartfelt ballads as they are crushing metal anthems. A Conversation with WHILE SHE SLEEPS: Unmasking "Self Hell" In the full interview with Sean Long, you'll delve deeper into the creative process behind "Self Hell." Long discusses the inspirations behind the album's lyrical content, the challenges and triumphs of co-production, and what fans can expect from the future of WHILE SHE SLEEPS. Whether you're a die-hard WHILE SHE SLEEPS fan or simply a music enthusiast searching for something fresh and thought-provoking, "Self Hell" is an album that demands your attention. Stay tuned for Loaded Radio's exclusive interview with Sean Long, where we'll dissect "Self Hell" and gain a deeper understanding of this groundbreaking new chapter in the band's evolving legacy.

What’s up Hardcore Humans! Today on the Hardcore Humanism Podcast we are talking with Sean Long – guitarist and founding member of the metalcore band While She Sleeps. Metalcore is an intense genre of music that combines heavy metal and hardcore punk. While She Sleeps has been making fantastic metalcore music for 15 years, and they have a new album coming out called Sleeps Society. The album includes the track, “You Are All You Need,” a song that Loudwire just raved, “is more proof that While She Sleeps are defining the current era of metalcore.”The theme of the song “You Are All You Need” and the topic of the conversation with Long is validation. Specifically, how we can provide ourselves with the validation we need in our life rather than rely on other people to provide that validation. When we feel validated we feel more centered and sure of how we feel and who we are. Emotional validation becomes a strong basis upon which to build a sense of purpose and work for the life we want. But if we do not receive the validation we need, over time we start to doubt our sense of our own reality, become disconnected from who we are and our purpose in life. In extreme cases it gets to the point where we feel nullified – like we don’t matter as human beings.During my conversation with Long, we explore the dangers of relying on external validation. And he shares the story of one of their shows where the attendance was far less than expected or hoped for. He was able to validate his feeling of being disappointed. It’s natural as you’re building your career in music to want as many people as possible at a show. And by validating his feelings, Long talked about how he was able to then connect to his music in that moment and just concentrate on playing the best show he could, regardless of how many people were there. So, take the external validation when it comes – allow yourself to feel good about it. And always do your best to build a community to support you. And always remember that your emotions and purpose are your own – it can neither be fully validated by others, nor can it ever be taken away. Connect with yourself, your purpose, and how you want to work hard to build the life you want no matter who is in your corner at a given point. And give yourself that internal validation you need to build the life you want.So, let’s check out what Long has to say!*****Newsletter: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/GBmf0iU/HardcoreHumanismSignUpInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/hardcorehumanism/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HardcoreHumanism/Twitter: https://twitter.com/hardcorhumanismLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/hardcore-humanism
