Mixing and Mastering, what makes the final cut….
What you have to do before signing, sealing and delivering an album. Getting the balance right of the final mix, how important is the running order, IRSC codes, the artwork, the aesthetic. Thinking about the impact of the photos, the videos for the singles, and then having to sit on the music for months before it comes out, and then who knows, perhaps no one will like the damn thing! That and 20 other things to keep you awake at night. I also read a Primordial style lyric written by ChatGPT and finish with an article entitled 'Give me a humorous take on Black Metal' written by a machine!!!! damn you ChatGPT666http://www.patreon.com/AlanAverillsponsored byMetal Blade records https://www.indiemerch.com/metalbladerecordspromo code AA 2023 for 10% off your orderships worldwidefor professional band backdrops contact :yes@torodrops.comand use the promo code ALANSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.

Trial and error Terror in the studio
Last week in the studio is trying to prep lyrics, study arrangements, avoid getting sick or a flu before singing, summoning the muse for an hour or two then sitting around pondering life's important issues, which is a better album 'Powerslave' or 'Somewhere in Time'? Attempting to get the artwork and aesthetic in line and finalise the running order. All this and a discussion about the latest merch controversy surrounding the band Igorrr and others, venues taking huge %'s of bands merch in an already difficult climate for artists to tour in....and more....http://www.patreon.com/AlanAverillsponsored byMetal Blade records https://www.indiemerch.com/metalbladerecordspromo code AA 2023 for 10% off your orderships worldwidefor professional band backdrops contact :yes@torodrops.comand use the promo code ALANSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.

One week into recording
Episode 150! quite the milestone! and it seems fitting that this weeks podcast is made while Primordial is recording album number 10! so it's about amps, microphone techniques, which guitars we use, pedals, and various other heavy metal nerdisms! Politics can wait til another day! It also features near the end the famous Alan Averill remedy for kickstarting your voice if you lose it on tour or in the studio! support the show over athttp"//www.patreon.com/AlanAverillsponsored by Metal Blade records https://www.indiemerch.com/metalbladerecordspromo code AA 2023 for 10% off your orderships worldwidefor professional band backdrops contact :yes@torodrops.comand use the promo code ALAN Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.

Waxing lyrical
Todays Tuesday Metal Miscellany considers the separation between the topics of the podcast and new lyrical ideas, who wants to hear more of the same? but where do you find new inspiration after all these years? That and the fact that right now there are two Death tribute bands on tour, and pulling more people than newer bands making original music? is metal too obsessed with nostalgia?maybesupport the show over athttp://www.patreon.com/AlanAverillsponsored byhttps://www.indiemerch.com/metalbladerecordsuse the promo code ALAN2023 for 10% offships worldwidelooking for a professional fireproofed backdrop for your band or event?like Primordial uses at festivals and on tourwww.torodrops.comor emaildigital@nyimage.netand use the code ALANSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.

What happens on day 1 in the studio
As Primordial begins to record album number 10 this podcast is pretty self explanatory, ever wondered about what happens in the studio on day number 1! Some technical nerdy gear stuff and also how to prep, how to lurk, be absent and involved all at the same time!sponsored byhttps://www.indiemerch.com/metalbladerecordspromo code AA2023 for 10% off worldwideSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.

Being twice as appalling as Cradle of Filth in 1995
In todays Heavy Metal miscellany I discuss the predictable prep for last minute recording sessions, running around the city looking for bits of drums, a funny review of Primordial from Kerrang in 1995 supporting Cradle of Filth and 'Gorgoth', some memories of drinking Ihsahns whiskey, seeing Saxon in front of 50 people in 1990 and being heartbroken at a cancelled Cronos show in Dublin the same year.....go to:https://www.indiemerch.com/metalbladerecordsand use the promo code AA2023 for 10% off around the worldSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.

Conspiracy theories dom Sathanas
In episode 148 I discuss Conspiracy theories, what do the two words mean anymore? just a slur to shut conversation or debate down, or do these ideas represent something more dangerous to society? I propose to the senate 10 rough rules for which any man, woman or creature of fortune can use to measure if a theory has conspiracy credentials!the show is sponsored by METAL BLADE RECORDS indiemerch.com/metalbladerecordsuse the promo code AA2023 for 10% off your orderSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.
