Irish Politics, Drug Culture, the Cult of Heroic Failure and Paganism

Our intrepid mid table singer in an over the hill heavy metal band is jet lagged, tired beyond belief after a 12 day jaunt around the US and A, so todays podcast is just impressions from the trip, politics, the people, the shows, visa costs, and observations of the human in late stage capitalist decay.....and the cost of cheesecake.....support this show over athttp://patreon.com/alanaverillTodays band sponsors BRAZEN TONGUEhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/3Z63cqXyFlU506JN4HB3RW?si=bS_V3SjxSWatiBtPuCdBDwhttps://instagram.com/brazen_tongue https://brazentongue.bandcamp.com/ andWRACH one man Black Metal war from WalesListeners to Agitators Anonymous can receive 10% off their order by Inputting the code ALANAW @ apocalypticwitchcraft.co.uk https://apocalypticwitchcraft.co.uk/products/for more infoPrimordial on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/0BZr6...sponsored byMetal Blade recordshttps://metalblade.indiemerch.com/promo code AA 2024 for 10% off your orderships worldwideFor info on my work as a booking agent go to:https://www.facebook.com/DragonProductionsOfficialVerminous Serpenthttps://open.spotify.com/artist/54Wpl...Dread Sovereignhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/60HY4...Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.

Today I discuss the claims that older music fans are 'rockist', whatever that means, should festivals with an ageing demographic try and reinvent themselves somehow? how do you do that without alienating your core base, AI money laundering claims through streaming platforms and various other waffle......support this show over athttp://patreon.com/alanaverillTodays band sponsors BRAZEN TONGUEhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/3Z63cqXyFlU506JN4HB3RW?si=bS_V3SjxSWatiBtPuCdBDwhttps://instagram.com/brazen_tongue https://brazentongue.bandcamp.com/ andWRACH one man Black Metal war from WalesListeners to Agitators Anonymous can receive 10% off their order by Inputting the code ALANAW @ apocalypticwitchcraft.co.uk https://apocalypticwitchcraft.co.uk/products/for more infoPrimordial on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/0BZr6...sponsored byMetal Blade recordshttps://metalblade.indiemerch.com/promo code AA 2024 for 10% off your orderships worldwideFor info on my work as a booking agent go to:https://www.facebook.com/DragonProductionsOfficialVerminous Serpenthttps://open.spotify.com/artist/54Wpl...Dread Sovereignhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/60HY4...Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.

WASP.....one of the greatest ever metal bands right? maybe one of the greatest ever opening songs...statements of intent, but what does it represent in a cultural context? genuinely rebellious? why were the 80s fulls of bands, movies, books, and personalities who didn't hate themselves? why is there no more rebel songs, protest songs or even any angry male guitar music in the mainstream at all.....did I ever get to that WASP show in 1989 when I was being thrown out school for being in trouble or not?

Seeing as Primordial is coming to the US later this month for the first time in over a decade to play some club shows I take a look at the costs involved in getting there, petitions, visas, rising flight costs, merch commissions and all the rest....the romantic dream of getting in the van and hitting the road still exists! but it's becoming more of a financial nightmare! find out why.....support this show over athttp://patreon.com/alanaverillPrimordial on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/0BZr6...sponsored byMetal Blade recordshttps://metalblade.indiemerch.com/promo code AA 2024 for 10% off your orderships worldwideFor info on my work as a booking agent go to:https://www.facebook.com/DragonProductionsOfficialVerminous Serpenthttps://open.spotify.com/artist/54Wpl...Dread Sovereignhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/60HY4...Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.

With every intention of starting this episode off with a striking AI created Depeche Mode track I discovered...it's gone from the internet. How and why and what are the implications? should artists be forgiven for using AI artwork, do we judge younger or older bands in different ways?

Episode 202 is a long and winding chat with Norwegian artist Kim Holm, if you have the live Primordial album 'Gods to the Godless' you can see his incredible live action portraits of the band in the inner sleeve. Kim is absolutely killing it online on his various channels, has long connections to the Bergen Black Metal scene and his individualistic take on creativity is both fascinating and challenging. This chat of course discusses all of this but also ventures into Kim's anarchist beliefs, geo politics and our political differences, mental health issues and all points in-between! It's a long one so strap yourself in!Follow Kim on Instagram or Tik Tok :@denungerrholmHis website is right herehttps://denungeherrholm.comsupport this show over athttp://patreon.com/alanaverillPrimordial on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/0BZr6...sponsored byMetal Blade recordshttps://metalblade.indiemerch.com/promo code AA 2024 for 10% off your orderships worldwideFor info on my work as a booking agent go to:https://www.facebook.com/DragonProductionsOfficialVerminous Serpenthttps://open.spotify.com/artist/54Wpl...Dread Sovereignhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/60HY4...Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.

Has your city turned into an endless procession of cranes building high rises and skyscrapers with unnamed and unseen tenants? all the interesting and curious places in the city razed to the ground to build apartments no one can afford that seem to sit empty or boutique hotels designed for moneyed tourists, artist and locals have had to move out as they can no longer afford the rent....and the character and heart ripped from the place? but would anyone even want that anymore anyway? welcome to Dublin right now, I discuss that and also a new theme tune for the podcast made by AI among other nonsensesupport the show over athttp://patreon.com/alanaverillcheck out the new live Primordial single athttps://open.spotify.com/album/2ICgeQaeDqeRF8n9DoQG3c?si=OBQG399STP-l9wQqx39wbgPrimordial on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/0BZr6...sponsored byMetal Blade recordshttps://metalblade.indiemerch.com/promo code AA 2024 for 10% off your orderships worldwideFor info on my work as a booking agent go to:https://www.facebook.com/DragonProductionsOfficialVerminous Serpenthttps://open.spotify.com/artist/54Wpl...Dread Sovereignhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/60HY4...Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.
