This is the Podcast of Alan Averill aka Nemtheanga, vocalist of the Irish Metal band Primordial for almost the last three decades! It's all about music industry commentary and insider info, rock n roll stories from a life on the road, travel experiences from every continent, piracy and general skullduggery, gallows humour, some political observation, musings on history and culture and some good old Irish psychoanalysis. A Vagabond of the Western World!.....

AGITATORS ANONYMOUS the Alan Averill Podcast
Winning and losing at the music industry game

In today's episode I discuss taking on the music industry at it's own game, using the parameters, platforms and apps to your advantage through the rise of the band Castle Rat, how it works for some and not for others, a brief skirt through the disaster zone of manufactured band Dogma and end up wondering.....can anyone remember a song....damn it even a riff? and is that even important when you are crafting and curating attention for your band in an optical industry....and how 4 working class lads from Birmingham probably wouldn't make it these days.....

When an album comes along and shows you exactly what you were missing.....

My 'I listened to 50 bands' podcast a week ago raised some eyebrows and caused in equal measures mirth and annoyance but over the last week an album has come along that showed me clearly what was missing from so much modern metal, am I fair to judge it so? or just shouting at clouds, this Friday I explore the reasons why that might be the case and is festival culture a victory lap where bands get to play to crowds they never could have back in the day or is it just a bloated circus lacking in depth and genuine love for art? This and loads of other nonsense.....

Am I my brothers keeper? should artists be responsible for the beliefs of others?

Today's podcast is a tongue in cheek look at writing songs and lyrics as a young man, trying to fill them with pathos and gravity, that only makes any sense decades and decades later. A cynical take on the Irish Presidential election and a sideways look at the idea that somehow we should be held responsible for the beliefs and ideas of others?

should we.....?

I listened to 50 new bands this week....

Last week I listened to 50 new bands, how did that go? find out.....can any of them stand up to the old classics? What does it take to carve your space in the scene now as a new band and what seems to be lacking? How the rise of Blood Incantation is an example of substance over style, and putting in the time and dedication to stagecraft can bring returns without resorting to masks and gimmicks and a brief consideration of Kreator and the ethics of using AI to make videos.....

The Irish Alex Jones is in the house

Am I the Irish Alex Jones? who wants to agree with all the artists they like? what a boring world that would be. Digital ID's, is it just a conspiracy theory to be worried about the authoritarian implications of a digital panopticon or should we just seem them as a mean of convenience designed with our best interests at heart?

Political assassination, Godwin's law and when every opinion is a nail....

After a week's hiatus I return to discuss the Charlie Kirk assassination, what is Godwin's Law and how does it apply to the modern digital age, the destruction of the middle ground only pushes more and more people to extremes, and how this feels like something of a tipping point in modern political discourse....

There may be trouble ahead.....

Analysing the Cradle situation and what is the job of a session musician

In today's episode I discuss the crazy Cradle of Filth situation the whole metal scene is rubber necking over, what actually is the role of a session musician in the music industry and when do you go from session role to member, is it when you start song writing or is it longevity? and is it right to do everything so publicly?

INTRODUCING - Zappedüster

This is a paid for advertisement for the band

Zappedüster

and the track

"Näbelschlucker"

ZAPPEDÜSTER „NÄBELSCHLUCKER“:

Rural Black Metal Punk from the backwoods middle of nowhere...

„In the dead of night resounds a ghastly screech in Agasul,

drifting across the countryside – the curse of the Schrädel.

The Hungersinet drives his woeful doings, the moaning of the Näbelschlucker awakens and gasps for Sargnägel, Pfiiffe, Chlöpfer und Bränz.“

Out of the stale swill of Sägisse Rock, ZAPPEDÜSTER gathered together, wielding hatchet and rusty chains to stir up the spectres in the local pubs with their antiqated patoit Black Metal.

The oasis of witty banter vs. free speech hypocrisy

Mixed bag today. While not giving a F about it at the time, the 90s really where a time of optimism, anti censorship and not confined by the restraints of the culture wars and the re-union of Oasis has brought that into sharp focus. Contrast that with today's climate, I discuss a recent glaring example in Ireland of the hypocrisy of many modern musicians over free speech, is misunderstanding what it means a deliberate ploy or just casual censorship.....? along with an add read for

Is it really possible to ban phones at gigs?

Ghost banned phones for their most recent tour, in this episode I debate whether this is practical or possible for smaller bands or only a 'privilege' for bands right at the top? playing in huge venues who have the facility, is it possible in a smaller venue and do newer smaller bands even want it....as maybe they need the free promo....why do we feel the need to document every moment of our lives without living in the moment? I get into the whys and wherefores on this one and why doesn't Tobias return my texts anymore? this and loads of other random nonsense.....

Die with your boots on......

Our icons age and eventually die, reminding us of our own mortality. They wrote songs that defined our youth and now are in the final chapters of life.....do we let them age? do we always want them to stay the same, some did....and died young and remained verile, beautiful and iconic....and some don't! Ozzy hung in for one last ride! so this episode mulls over age, icons and the greatest band ever....Black Sabbath

Is the population collapse narrative a grift? (re-upload with fixed audio)

A re-upload of last Fridays episode which had a technical glitch as I uploaded the intro twice! So.....what I was saying was....is the constant discussion of the west collapsing a grift? are we addicted to bad news? are our populations on the brink of collapse and culture and history simply viewed as collateral damage in the reshuffle?

this and other random all over the place thoughts on todays podcast, normal heavy metal service will resume next week....

The Irish woman who shot Mussolini

In 1926 an Irish woman, Violet Gibson, shot Mussolini from almost point blank range in the face, almost changing the face of history.....almost. An obscure character in Irish and world history, where did she come from, her beliefs, how did she get so close to 'El Duce' and why did she disappear from history until recently. Irish history obscura part who knows!!

The revenge of rap rock @ the Glastonbury gulag of guilt

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.....

Uranium is a Heavy Metal

Last Friday's podcast failed to upload due to a technical glitch so here is an updated version. Some random thoughts about this last week of craziness, the bombings in Iran, their nuclear aspirations, real or not? Israel and how both of them have been dancing around this confrontation for years.....note it was recorded before the 'ceasefire'....which most likely will be broken by the time it comes out.....
