About this episode
The episode discusses the concept of free speech within the metal scene, featuring a conversation between Alan Averill and guest Shayan.
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 out it's also a video up on my Youtube channel https://youtu.be/oQYwX1GQ2ak 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 YES THERE'S A NEW Primordial LIVE ALBUM OUT !! 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…
