ALAN AVERILL (PRIMORDIAL): INTERVIEWED BY INTO THE NECROSPHERE

 

ALAN AVERILL of  Irish Celtic black metal warriors PRIMORDIAL was recently interviewed by metal podcast  INTO THE NECROSPHERE.. 

 

 

  Irish Celtic black metal warriors PRIMORDIAL, via BANDCAMP, are streaming the bands anticipated new release  "HOW IT ENDS",  unleashed 9/29/2023 via METAL BLADE RECORDS..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FROM INTO THE NECROSPHERE: 

 

This week on Into The Necrosphere, Alan Averill returns to the podcast for one of our most thought-provoking conversations to date. We discuss what it means to become a legacy band, why Primordial's lyrics seem more relevant today than they did thirty years ago, the rise of AI and its impact on creativity, and whether heavy metal is still capable of producing artists with genuine authenticity and staying power.

We also explore the changing nature of the music industry, the pressures of growing older in extreme metal, why so much modern art feels increasingly disposable, and Alan shares his thoughts on the state of the scene as only he can.

On the Weekly News Rant, I check out the latest singles by Hulder, From The Vastland • Band, Terrestrial Hospice, Mordant Rhed, Left to Die and others, debate which modern black metal bands have what it takes to replace the likes of Mayhem, Emperor and Satyricon as genuine festival headliners, countdown my favourite Motörhead songs and, of course, dunk another deserving recipient on my Swirly of the Week.

Plus: Epikoros deliver a fire-and-brimstone debut with “Black Sun Eclipse” and take a thoroughly deserved bow in the Unsanctioned Filth spotlight.

Out now on all digital platforms (link in bio).
