This is the Podcast of Alan Averill aka Nemtheanga, vocalist of the Irish Metal band Primordial for almost the last three decades! It's all about music industry commentary and insider info, rock n roll stories from a life on the road, travel experiences from every continent, piracy and general skullduggery, gallows humour, some political observation, musings on history and culture and some good old Irish psychoanalysis. A Vagabond of the Western World!.....

Is your city turning into a cultural wasteland?
Has your city turned into an endless procession of cranes building high rises and skyscrapers with unnamed and unseen tenants? all the interesting and curious places in the city razed to the ground to build apartments no one can afford that seem to sit empty or boutique hotels designed for moneyed tourists, artist and locals have had to move out as they can no longer afford the rent....and the character and heart ripped from the place? but would anyone even want that anymore anyway? welcome to Dublin right now, I discuss that and also a new theme tune for the podcast made by AI among other nonsense

Harry Potter and the Flag of H8
As promised todays podcast is a spicey meatball, a sideways, darkly humorous but relatively serious look at Scotlands new Hate Speech legislation, Irelands own version waiting in the wings, why a variant might be coming to a country near you soon, why right here right now and what this means for freedom of speech and civil liberties. Also includes a Kenneth Williams reference and some other tongue in cheek nonsense.....

THE MOST POPULAR METAL BAND IN EACH COUNTRY?
This weeks podcast is a statistical indulgence, I love maths and numbers so this is manna from hell! heavy metal hell.....an article came out publishing the most popular metal band from each country via Spotify stats, so I dig into those, what they mean, who cares, and what they say about rock and metals place in streaming culture. Primordial represented Ireland so I mull over that as well and wonder why i didn't tackle all the new Hate speech laws instead.....the pass of least resistance meets my obsession with statistics!

Customer Reviews
Good listening
Love Primordial’s music and enjoy listening to Alan’s stories, interviews and perspectives on the state of the “Stephen King Novel” we have been living in for the past few years. Looking forward to the fabled upcoming Elizabeth Bathory episode.
Great show, binge worthy
On a casual recommendation I started an episode and it became my sole entertainment for a 2 day road trip. Music, politics, philosophy, just some well rounded and thoughtful conversations.
One correction: in episode 32, the host relates the removal of President Nixon to the prior years oil crisis. No connection at all, Watergate was the sole reason he was removed from office.
Should def be hosting Dark Tourist
Or a related show
