Primordial interview - leaders of epic metal from Ireland are back

Primordial are no doubt the leading metal figures from Ireland and for a reason. These guys have done their music for more than 30 years, and with great passion. Jerry was lucky enough to have this beer-infused moment with A.A. Nemtheanga, the vocalist of the band, for some serious discussion at Beyond the Gates festival 2023. Or maybe not so serious. You get to decide that.

    Alan is completely correct. What the people in power want is to secure (and increase) this power for themselves, their families, and their friends. They do not want a unified working class to stand up against their bullshit, so we are kept at each other's throats with all manner of superficial issues. Meanwhile, those in power strip away our wealth and rights little by little.

    Only very few can match Alan's passionate vocal performances. Also, a guy with some very respectable views about various topics and an amazing lyricist. There is no such thing as too many Nemtheanga appearances on the Rauta channel as he always brings something interesting to the table (same goes for the AA podcast).

    I came late to Primordial and they have quickly become one of my favorite bands. A band that is truly unique & immediately recognizable. I also highly recommend Alan’s side projects Dread Sovereign (doom) & Verminous Serpent (disgusting filthy old school black metal). Rauta, I appreciate your engagement & focus during this & all of your interviews!

    I’m new to listening to Primordial but I first ever heard of them when I was staying in Florida, and this one black metal guy I jammed with and hung out with here and there showed me their MySpace page (this was in 2006) and some of their songs. I kind of forgot about that but after I saw your previous interview with Alan I decided to check their discography out once I remembered them. I’ve also met someone (in USA) with his same last name, except it began with an E instead of an A heheh I believe they had Irish ancestry as well.

    I feel that often art is bigger than the artist and their intent. If an artist creates something in a particular context, drawing from history and culture, it is inescapably of that context. Primordial is inherently Irish, even if the intemt is universal. I can and will interpret the songs from a nationalist perspective, from an Irish and larger European perspective. I don't think that all rebels are the same or that rebellion is inherently good. There are those who rebelled against a safe and prosperous Europe, an Irish Ireland. Those rebels won and are now in power. Now there are those who rebel against them to bring the old order back. I care not about the intent of the lyrics, Primordial's music taps into something much larger than itself. This isn't about a "culture war" but the continued existence of European peoples. A foreigner stabbing children in the capital has nothing in common with me. How can you say most people are alright with a straight face with all the mayhem ans evil happening to European women and children?

    I loved this interview format, and hope to see it again. Makes you feel like you are sitting at the bar just overhearing a conversation you actually want to hear for once. I am curious if theirs a way, and if so what that way would be, to talk about ideas of gender outside of gender politics. Just speaking history and science theirs been different ideas of gender throughout the world in various cultures, this is just speaking from an Anthropological perspective. Theirs also plenty of neurology on the subject from the differences of male/female brains and how that supports the sex/gender narrative today. The way I see it that's the exact problem, its just a narrative not a logical discussion on facts and reality.
