AGITATORS ANONYMOUS the Alan Averill Podcast

In today's podcast I consider the implications that music is now one of the least important parts of promoting an album, what that means for the art form, when was the last time you shared a link to music and not a clip of people talking about music or an old clip of some band from another long gone decade acting out? Where is all headed? that and a mild mannered confrontation between a lazy Irishman and a Swiss stickler for rules.....he show is looking for sponsors....if you think this is something you are interested in, get in [email protected] menemtheanga_primordialprimordial_officialon the gramsupport the show over at :https://patreon.com/AlanAverillPrimordial on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/0BZr6WHaejNA63uhZZZZek?si=yFFV8ypSSDOESUX62_0TzQFor info on my work as a booking agent go to:https://www.facebook.com/DragonProductionsOfficialor email [email protected] cds/lps available fromhttps://www.metalblade.com/primordial/my other musical projectsdeath metalVERMINOUS SERPENThttps://open.spotify.com/artist/54Wpl9JD0Zn4rhpBvrN2Oa?si=zOjIulHXS5y9lW1YHMhgTAdoomDREAD SOVEREIGN https://open.spotify.com/artist/60HY4pl0nbOrZA6u2QnqDN?si=sxQ5_1htR6G3WIvy1I_wXAgothAPRILMENhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/7GzLO1YJClmN5TvV4A37MJ?si=cRXSk24lQKWSqJG-B8KbWQSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.

In today's episode I tread out into ankle deep waters of the let's be frank mostly nonsense culture war hysteria surrounding Christopher Nolan's new movie, an adaptation of Homer's "The Odyssey" and consider the argument, should movies be historically accurate, do they owe a debt to the real characters who lived and died to portray them faithfully, or is history just another treasure trove of storytelling with which we can do as we please? Should the realms of fantasy belong to the vision of the original writer or can we interpret them as we see fit?

Does the old school metal scene and music industry in general simply have to accept the dumbing down of the scene through the influx of content creating gimmick bands or is it possible to resist? As it's clear that within an ageing scene there needs to be new blood right? Yet the new bands who uphold the old school values and worship the riff! are fewer and further between and certainly and sadly not the biggest bands in the field anymore...not even close. This, why does summer touring not work in Europe and a brief moment of positivity near the end about how we might see a small but aggressive luddite-esque resistance to AI art.....if so make me the Mayor in this new principality....oh and why Irish people don't belong at the beach. the show is looking for sponsors....if you think this is something you are interested in, get in [email protected] menemtheanga_primordialprimordial_officialon the gramsupport the show over at :https://patreon.com/AlanAverillPrimordial on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/0BZr6WHaejNA63uhZZZZek?si=yFFV8ypSSDOESUX62_0TzQFor info on my work as a booking agent go to:https://www.facebook.com/DragonProductionsOfficialor email [email protected] cds/lps available fromhttps://www.metalblade.com/primordial/my other musical projectsdeath metalVERMINOUS SERPENThttps://open.spotify.com/artist/54Wpl9JD0Zn4rhpBvrN2Oa?si=zOjIulHXS5y9lW1YHMhgTAdoomDREAD SOVEREIGN https://open.spotify.com/artist/60HY4pl0nbOrZA6u2QnqDN?si=sxQ5_1htR6G3WIvy1I_wXAgothAPRILMENhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/7GzLO1YJClmN5TvV4A37MJ?si=cRXSk24lQKWSqJG-B8KbWQSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.

Introducing Polish concept ensemble Deamonolith. The band was founded in 2022, but its members have been consistently active in the underground scene since the 90s (we played in bands like Pandemonium, Imperator, Lost Soul, Sacriversum, Gortal and others). They have just released their debut album in cooperation with domestic labels: Godz ov War Productions and Ancient Dead Productions. This is not a common release, as it consists of one track crafted in 35 minutes of experimental death metal with elements of black, thrash, doom and progressive elements. So far, the album has received some excellent reviews (e.g.: https://www.voicesfromthedarkside.de/review/deamonolith-the-monolithic-cult-of-death/). You can check it out here (Deamonolith on Youtube): https://youtu.be/IZuXmy7f5YQ?si=9lq0B7iv6Ij3xONe.youtube.com/@deamonolithfacebook.com/DEAMONOLITHinstagram.com/deamonolith_official_plpaid sponsorshipget in touch if you want to do the same with your own band....labels....the sameSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.

So today's podcast is a spicy meatball, where I throw a lot of shade, as the young people say.....earlier in the week I was contacted by Rock Hard magazine in France to discuss one of the most important questions of our time, why is so much of modern metal so childish? let's leave fixing the Middle east for another day and get into it....if you feel troubled by any of the subjects of today's podcast please play side two of the first Manowar albumthe show is looking for sponsors....if you think this is something you are interested in, get in [email protected] menemtheanga_primordialprimordial_officialon the gramsupport the show over at :https://patreon.com/AlanAverillthe band in add number one :DEAMONOLITHyoutube.com/@deamonolithfacebook.com/DEAMONOLITHinstagram.com/deamonolith_official_plthe band and label in add two :Buy Online - Achetez en ligne: https://shop.volumebrutal.com/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/volumebrutalassociation/Primordial on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/0BZr6WHaejNA63uhZZZZek?si=yFFV8ypSSDOESUX62_0TzQFor info on my work as a booking agent go to:https://www.facebook.com/DragonProductionsOfficialor email [email protected] cds/lps available fromhttps://www.metalblade.com/primordial/death metalVERMINOUS SERPENThttps://open.spotify.com/artist/54Wpl9JD0Zn4rhpBvrN2Oa?si=zOjIulHXS5y9lW1YHMhgTAdoomDREAD SOVEREIGN https://open.spotify.com/artist/60HY4pl0nbOrZA6u2QnqDN?si=sxQ5_1htR6G3WIvy1I_wXAgothAPRILMENhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/7GzLO1YJClmN5TvV4A37MJ?si=cRXSk24lQKWSqJG-B8KbWQSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.

I learnt a new word: 'enshittification', stage 1 is attraction, stage 2 is abuse and stage 3 is extraction....how platforms lure people in and slowly once they have audience capture and people rely on them begin turning the screw and abusing users, I take this word and run with it into the brick wall of the music industry and culture at large.

Today's podcast is a collaboration with Shayan from Iblis Manifestations/Trivax. During this years Inferno festival we got together to do an independent talk entitled 'The free speech principle' at Kniven bar. Despite harbouring an absolutely brutal hangover which is entirely my fault....we got through it and mulled over what free speech really means in the metal scene these days....do people really believe in the principle or just consider it either a helpful thing to stand but not mean or a dog whistle to the extreme....find outit's also a video up on my Youtube channelhttps://youtu.be/oQYwX1GQ2akthe show is looking for sponsors....if you think this is something you are interested in, get in [email protected] menemtheanga_primordialprimordial_officialon the gramsupport the show over at :https://patreon.com/AlanAverillPrimordial on SpotifyYES THERE'S A NEW Primordial LIVE ALBUM OUT !!https://open.spotify.com/artist/0BZr6WHaejNA63uhZZZZek?si=yFFV8ypSSDOESUX62_0TzQFor info on my work as a booking agent go to:https://www.facebook.com/DragonProductionsOfficialor email [email protected] cds/lps available fromhttps://www.metalblade.com/primordial/death metalVERMINOUS SERPENThttps://open.spotify.com/artist/54Wpl9JD0Zn4rhpBvrN2Oa?si=zOjIulHXS5y9lW1YHMhgTAdoomDREAD SOVEREIGN https://open.spotify.com/artist/60HY4pl0nbOrZA6u2QnqDN?si=sxQ5_1htR6G3WIvy1I_wXAgothAPRILMENhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/7GzLO1YJClmN5TvV4A37MJ?si=cRXSk24lQKWSqJG-B8KbWQSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.

Geese.....yep.....Geese who were being touted as the new saviours of rock n' roll by the Guardian newspaper only a month or two ago have turned out to be more or less a marketing psyop created by a brand strategy company called Chaotic Good, Today I go over the story and ask, is it really surprising in 2026 that this is the way a rock band would get relative success in the mainstream....I dig into the claims of engineered narrative, burner accounts, fabricated comments and fake interactions....the show is looking for sponsors....if you think this is something you are interested in, get in [email protected] menemtheanga_primordialprimordial_officialon the gramsupport the show over at :https://patreon.com/AlanAverillPrimordial on SpotifyYES THERE'S A NEW Primordial LIVE ALBUM OUT !!https://open.spotify.com/artist/0BZr6WHaejNA63uhZZZZek?si=yFFV8ypSSDOESUX62_0TzQsponsored by Metal 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/DragonProductionsOfficialor email [email protected] cds/lps available fromhttps://www.metalblade.com/primordial/death metalVERMINOUS SERPENThttps://open.spotify.com/artist/54Wpl9JD0Zn4rhpBvrN2Oa?si=zOjIulHXS5y9lW1YHMhgTAdoomDREAD SOVEREIGN https://open.spotify.com/artist/60HY4pl0nbOrZA6u2QnqDN?si=sxQ5_1htR6G3WIvy1I_wXAgothAPRILMENhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/7GzLO1YJClmN5TvV4A37MJ?si=cRXSk24lQKWSqJG-B8KbWQSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.

Was there an FBI conspiracy to kill off rock music? eh....no seriously....sort of, well Billy Corgan alluded to it on his podcast so I take it on face value and look into what changed. If we take Woodstock 99' as the last high point of angry dudes with guitars has it all been pop music-ified since then?

After a weekend at a Pagan Metal metal festival, and all the adjacent forms of music, medieval music, new folk, and all the newer bands in the Heilung/Wardruna vein I ask the simple question, is this revivalism and a genuine rejection of the modern world or a form of refuge, escape from the ills of modernity? or perhaps it's neither....or both? it's a question that actually needs a more in depth cultural, esoteric and political analysis, let's put a pin in that one! and also some under rated Pagan Metal albums to finish the discussion.
