Episode 89 - Metal, History, and Living Life to the Fullest with Alan Averill (Primordial, Dread Sovereign)

Alan Averill is best known for being the vocalist and front man for Irish Metal legends Primordial, but he is also an engaging, fascinating, intelligent, politically minded, well-read, heavily tattooed bad-ass.  Alan is a singular voice in metal, an anomaly in some ways.  I Hate Music considers him to be one of the best front men in metal, and his voice, and his band, to be one of the most unique and underrated.    With Alan we discuss the erasure of cultures, the significance of travel, the importance of heritage, and the obsessive nerdism that comes with being a lifer in the metal scene.  We also dig into a listener email, and catch up on some current happenings.**Note:  This was recorded before the American Presidential Election in 2024. --------------------Hosts:  Jason Walton and Nick Wusz."I Hate Music" theme by Artificial Intelligence.  I Hate Music image by Jori Apedaile.Produced by Jason Walton for Earth in Sound Productions.Watch the video version of this podcast on our YouTube Channel--------------------Support the podcast by becoming a Patreon member here: IHM PatreonFollow us on socials, donate to support the podcast, listen to our playlist on Spotify, and visit us online: I Hate Music LinktreeEmail and listener suggestions to: [email protected]#ihatemusicpodcast**I Hate Music is an Earth in Sound Production**--------------------Hosts: Jason Walton and Nick Wusz.Produced by Jason Walton for Earth in Sound Productions.--------------------Support the podcast by becoming a Patreon member here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠IHM Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on socials, donate to support the podcast, and visit us online: ⁠⁠⁠⁠I Hate Music Linktree⁠⁠⁠⁠Email and listener suggestions to: ⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠- Part of the Distorted Paths Podcast Network - Hosted on Acast.
