Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

WHY SVALBARD ARE SPLITTING UP (AND WHAT IT SAYS ABOUT A BROKEN TOURING INDUSTRY): Serena Cherry on her band’s break-up, unseen difficulties of touring, work life vs music life, future plans
Q: Can you quantify the financial realities of headlining a UK/European tour versus the income you earn from shows?
Serena explains that touring costs—van/bus hire, sound engineers, merch staff, and heavy merch cuts—often exceed touring revenue, making it hard to treat touring as a viable full-time job for all four members.
THE CHAOTIC TIMES OF MILLE PETROZZA: Kreator frontman remembers Cold War Germany, early Metallica shows, self-tattooing, Celtic Frost audition, rejecting drugs, thrash metal’s decline and return
Q: How did growing up in a divided Germany shape your political awareness and lyric themes?
Mille explains that living through the Cold War and the Berlin Wall's impact made him conscious of political realities, but he avoided joining political groups, instead channeling that awareness into music with themes of anarchism and revolution.
