AGITATORS ANONYMOUS the Alan Averill Podcast

Todays podcast is a chat with yours truly about Black Metal which was done for an upcoming book about the origins of UK Black Metal with Cult never dies, ok so Primordial isn't obviously from the Uk but we were living next door, signed to UK labels, played back in the early 90s in the Uk and had quite a lot of dealings peripherally within the scene. That chat morphs into a general discussion about Black Metal, its origin story, its development, morals, aesthetics and orthodoxy.....apologies for the slightly poor sound quality on my end, I was calling from the 1920s....

This weeks podcast is a statistical indulgence, I love maths and numbers so this is manna from hell! heavy metal hell.....an article came out publishing the most popular metal band from each country via Spotify stats, so I dig into those, what they mean, who cares, and what they say about rock and metals place in streaming culture. Primordial represented Ireland so I mull over that as well and wonder why i didn't tackle all the new Hate speech laws instead.....the pass of least resistance meets my obsession with statistics!

Today's post red wine podcast is about criticism and how to deal with it, is tuning out of the comments cheating? the pressure on bands to have instagram ready stage shows and do they over shadow the music? and a read through of an AI occult doom metal bands substack manifesto.....

From the cold dark shadows of Wales emerges Wrach, an enigmatic one-man black metal force. A tempest of relentless riffs, thunderous percussion, and infernal vocals, submerged deep within occult, death worship, and anticosmic theses.

Enveloping listeners into a sinister esoteric atmosphere of otherworldly currents, straddling the line between the material and the abyss.

Embrace death, transcend the mortal coil and revel in the sinister beauty hidden within the folds of the abyss. This solitary figure stands as a sentinel of Death, guiding initiates through desolate and perilous soundscapes, beckoning you to tread the treacherous path where malevolence and obscurity converge.
