    a chat w/ Aaron Stainthorpe (Towards the Sinister, High Parasite, ex - My Dying Bride)

    Today's episode has been quite a while in the making but here we are, a chat with Aaron Stainthorpe from Towards the Sinister, High Parasite and ex My Dying Bride of course. We go all the way back to the origins of the band in the late 80s, the birth of the doom/death scene all the way to this year and all the controversy surrounding his exit from My Dying Bride and the birth of Towards the Sinister.

    Front row seat at a Riot....

    I happened be right there last weekend at a protest and subsequent riot in France, right there.....front row seats, I spent all day among the protestors and all night watching the rioting and looting. 20 yards away, and todays podcast is what I saw, my observations and my attempt at understanding the context. As always it's way more complicated than you might think and there are far more factors and actors at play than it seems or that you might be able to see from a 15 second reel on the gram. I try to remain apolitical, unemotional and even handed, so if you are looking for angry hot takes, you won't find em here! Is this the fall of the West? is it coming to a city near you?.....find out and watch the movie 'La Haine'...... the show is looking for sponsors....if you think this is something you are interested in, get in touch Alan.averill@gmail.com follow me nemtheanga_primordial primordial_official on the gram support the show over at : https://patreon.com/AlanAverill Primordial on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/artist/0BZr6WHaejNA63uhZZZZek?si=yFFV8ypSSDOESUX62_0TzQ For info on my work as a booking agent go to: https://www.facebook.com/DragonProductionsOfficial or email alan@dragon-productions.com Primordial cds/lps available from https://www.metalblade.com/primordial/ my other musical projects death metal VERMINOUS SERPENT https://open.spotify.com/artist/54Wpl9JD0Zn4rhpBvrN2Oa?si=zOjIulHXS5y9lW1YHMhgTA doom DREAD SOVEREIGN https://open.spotify.com/artist/60HY4pl0nbOrZA6u2QnqDN?si=sxQ5_1htR6G3WIvy1I_wXA goth APRILMEN https://open.spotify.com/artist/7GzLO1YJClmN5TvV4A37MJ?si=cRXSk24lQKWSqJG-B8KbWQ Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.

    Does everything have to be political?

    Does everything have to be political....all of the time? After the recent, largely manufactured drama over a statement by James Hetfield to the contrary I look at the backlash, how much of it is real, what the freezing effect is and why it's perfectly find to not signal to any tribe and not be interested in politics. the show is looking for sponsors....if you think this is something you are interested in, get in touch Alan.averill@gmail.com follow me nemtheanga_primordial primordial_official on the gram support the show over at : https://patreon.com/AlanAverill Primordial on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/artist/0BZr6WHaejNA63uhZZZZek?si=yFFV8ypSSDOESUX62_0TzQ For info on my work as a booking agent go to: https://www.facebook.com/DragonProductionsOfficial or email alan@dragon-productions.com Primordial cds/lps available from https://www.metalblade.com/primordial/ my other musical projects death metal VERMINOUS SERPENT https://open.spotify.com/artist/54Wpl9JD0Zn4rhpBvrN2Oa?si=zOjIulHXS5y9lW1YHMhgTA doom DREAD SOVEREIGN https://open.spotify.com/artist/60HY4pl0nbOrZA6u2QnqDN?si=sxQ5_1htR6G3WIvy1I_wXA goth APRILMEN https://open.spotify.com/artist/7GzLO1YJClmN5TvV4A37MJ?si=cRXSk24lQKWSqJG-B8KbWQ Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.

    another legend has left the building, Cronos from Venom. Taken way too early.

    Nice boys don't play rock n roll

    After a short two week enforced interlude I'm back, not in the studio for this one but recording remotely. Today's podcast is about Angry Anderson, a true rock n roll legend who passed away during the week. I wonder is it even possible for a band like this to exist in modern society anymore? Genuine working class heroes with a truly menacing air who turned their pub yob rock into an institution that stood for integrity and comradeship, which deeply resonated with people in a way few bands are able to. If a band appeared now claiming the same wouldn't we imagine it was conceit? this and more on today's podcast Forgive the slightly different audio!

    Where exactly does a bands fee go?

    In today's podcast I break down where a 3k band fee for a festival goes to, agents, artist taxes, flights, luggage......and why this is becoming almost entirely untenable, this and other music industry observations and mathematical grasping at straws......

    "Don't you remember?" you old fool.....being mocked by CHATGPT

    In today's podcast I ramble across a few different things, being asked "Don't I remember" by ChatGPT....about a conspiracy theory discussion from months before, so wait.....what....it's my own ChatGPT?.....or....was I being gently mocked by the Dystopian future we are about to enter, and then promptly forgot. That and an idea for an app called RE-ANIMATE which could cure loneliness. Send my royalty cheque in the post.

    Are you in the Mano(war)sphere?

    Interrupted while day dreaming about a Manowar poster I had when I was 14....I get ambushed into discussing the Manosphere with an old friend, am I in it? is the main thrust of questioning. It was silly, it was serious.....some points were raised, some words were phrased and in the end we both agreed, blanket buzz words = bad, claiming exercise is toxic = bad.....but most of the C U Next Tuesday's involved are little else...Mano-war-sphere......nature abhors a vacuum Today's sponsor is : PROMETHEAN WOLF Elite fitness wear....check it out at prometheanwolf.com and use the CODE : AGITATE for free shipping on your first order the show is looking for sponsors....if you think this is something you are interested in, get in touch Alan.averill@gmail.com follow me nemtheanga_primordial primordial_official on the gram support the show over at : https://patreon.com/AlanAverill if you wish to make a one off donation to the show paypal : alan.averill@gmail.com Primordial on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/artist/0BZr6WHaejNA63uhZZZZek?si=yFFV8ypSSDOESUX62_0TzQ For info on my work as a booking agent go to: https://www.facebook.com/DragonProductionsOfficial or email alan@dragon-productions.com Primordial cds/lps available from https://www.metalblade.com/primordial/ my other musical projects death metal VERMINOUS SERPENT https://open.spotify.com/artist/54Wpl9JD0Zn4rhpBvrN2Oa?si=zOjIulHXS5y9lW1YHMhgTA doom DREAD SOVEREIGN https://open.spotify.com/artist/60HY4pl0nbOrZA6u2QnqDN?si=sxQ5_1htR6G3WIvy1I_wXA goth APRILMEN https://open.spotify.com/artist/7GzLO1YJClmN5TvV4A37MJ?si=cRXSk24lQKWSqJG-B8KbWQ Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.
