AGITATORS ANONYMOUS the Alan Averill Podcast
a chat about BLACK METAL and what it had to do with PRIMORDIAL and me
Todays podcast is a chat with yours truly about Black Metal which was done for an upcoming book about the origins of UK Black Metal with Cult never dies, ok so Primordial isn't obviously from the Uk but we were living next door, signed to UK labels, played back in the early 90s in the Uk and had quite a lot of dealings peripherally within the scene. That chat morphs into a general discussion about Black Metal, its origin story, its development, morals, aesthetics and orthodoxy.....apologies for the slightly poor sound quality on my end, I was calling from the 1920s....

Final Vinyl - is record collecting a scam
37:34In a week where I pay way over the odds for a record I've wanted since 1989 to add to my personal ballast/collection, I ask is it really worth it? is there any romance really in clicking a button and getting it delivered to your door compared to going through the racks in a dank old cellar record shop back in the day. I finally get to me Manowar vinyl anecdote and wonder....is it really worth it? surely it's better to own nothing and be happy.....right? support the show over athttp://www.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...211.

A tempest of relentless riffs, thunderous percussion, and infernal vocals, submerged deep within occult, death worship, and anticosmic theses.Enveloping listeners into a sinister esoteric atmosphere of otherworldly currents, straddling the line between the material and the abyss.Embrace death, transcend the mortal coil and revel in the sinister beauty hidden within the folds of the abyss. This solitary figure stands as a sentinel of Death, guiding initiates through desolate and perilous soundscapes, beckoning you to tread the treacherous path where malevolence and obscurity converge.207. American Impressions
