Alan and I may disagree on many things politically but I absolutely love this podcast. It’s wonderful to hear someone’s unfiltered thoughts on politics and get a perspective outside of my bubble and it’s also great to listen to Alan ramble about the state of metal. Feels like listening to an old friend.

The best metal podcast in history. I could listen to this all day: Alan comes across as a lovely, warm guy (especially for a self-professed grumpy pessimist) and, being the same age and growing up in the same underground scene as myself, I can say with authority he captures the spirit better than anyone else I’ve listened to.
Never heard Primoridal, to my shame, but this podcast is unmissable. Please never stop Alan, you’re very, very good at this.
