About this episode
This episode features the anonymous heavy metal band Annonymal discussing their unique blend of music and Bitcoin journalism.
Annonymal is a six-piece heavy metal band whose members are completely anonymous. No names, no faces, no location. By day they are Bitcoin journalists. By night they are the band giving Bitcoin its metal soundtrack, and they made a deliberate choice: they say heavy metal is the only genre built for what Bitcoin is. This episode gets into how a journalist asks "how can I be scarce?" and ends up writing songs that open with the Genesis block. Annonymal and Heather talk about why metal is the correct soundtrack for a money that is anti-establishment by design, how MTV deliberately dropped rock and metal to defang a generation of critical thinkers, and why Bitcoin fixed something in them that journalism, protest, and social work could not. They also get into the attention economy, what it takes for original music to survive the AI era, why they put their first album only on Wavlake, and what killswitch.gov .exe means. Find Annonymal on Wavlake and Fountain. Follow them on Nostr and search the hashtag #HornsUpforSatoshi . Annonymal's first full album is on Wavlake. Their second album, killswitch.gov .exe, is in production. A live show recording of approximately 40 minutes is coming…
