I Hate Music

Episode 89 - Metal, History, and Living Life to the Fullest with Alan Averill (Primordial, Dread Sovereign)

Alan Averill is best known for being the vocalist and front man for Irish Metal legends Primordial, but he is also an engaging, fascinating, intelligent, politically minded, well-read, heavily tattooed bad-ass.  Alan is a singular voice in metal, an anomaly in some ways.  I Hate Music considers him to be one of the best front men in metal, and his voice, and his band, to be one of the most unique and underrated.    With Alan we discuss the erasure of cultures, the significance of travel, the importance of heritage, and the obsessive nerdism that comes with being a lifer in the metal scene.  

We also dig into a listener email, and catch up on some current happenings.

**Note:  This was recorded before the American Presidential Election in 2024.

Episode 88 - Kicking the Bucket: Buckethead with Sebastian

Buckethead has always been one of those artists that garners deep respect, and everyone knows he is a mysterious genius that prefers to lurk in the background, but until we met IHM mainstay Sebastian, we had never known anyone that would mention him when asked about favorite bands.  Buckethead is a virtuoso, no doubt, and an artist that is not content to color within the lines.  He is constantly pushing on boundaries and re-inventing himself.  So, we decided to get a passionate Bucketbot on the podcast to share his enthusiasm and knowledge about the only guitarist who was born in a coop.  Buckets up!

Episode 87 - Dare to be Stupid with Weird A.I.

Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) is a hot topic right now, especially within the arts.  This episode does not take a stance either way on the issue, rather explores it's capabilities and power.  We experience online A.I tools in real time and also discuss the positives, and the negatives, of artificial intelligence in the arts.

Episode 86 - Catching Up with Bands We've Fallen Out of Touch With

"I haven't listened to Sepultura since Roots."  "I never bothered to check out any Tiamat after A Deeper Kind of Slumber."  "What does Opeth sound like these days anyway?"

These are comments we've been saying to ourselves and each other for a while, and we decided to remedy it.  We check out newer material from bands we used to love that we just never kept up with.  We listen to some clips and discuss.

Of course there are some great listener emails this time around and we dive headlong into a FMK as well.

Episode 85 - Current Listening: Bikini Kill, 40 Watt Sun, Frost Clad, Lorde and more

Another current listening episode!  We discuss the music we've been listening to, why we are listening to these artists, and the stories around why they are hitting us hard.  Nine Inch Nails, Genghis Tron, Fen Walker, Lorde, MC Breed, Cold Sanctum, Blood Incantation, Coil, D.B.C., and more are discussed.  We each share a song that we've been vibing with as well.

Episode 84 - Catching Up: Agalloch in Australia, Listener Emails, Concerts, and Life in General

It's been a while, so we caught up on life.  Agalloch in Australia, MoonBladder mini-tour, Travellers Rest shows, Recording Academy Board meeting, concerts we've seen in the last month, and concerts we will see soon.

We also spend a mighty section of this episode on listener emails.  We've been getting lots of them, with lots of questions and comments, so we decided to dive in!  There has also been some push back from listeners on bands we have mentioned we don't like.  We address some of these and listen to some bands that we've never listened to before because of it in a sort of "Virgin Listen" section of this episode.

We've never had an episode quite like this one, so join us, listen, then email us and complain.

Episode 83 - Current Listening: Octoploid, Ripping Corpse, Oval with Hunter Ginn

Another current listening episode.  People seemed to enjoy the first one, Episode 81, so we asked Hunter Ginn to join us for another installment.  We each discuss music that has been floating our boats and we each share a track that has been hitting us hard lately.

Episode 82 - Prong's "Beg to Differ" and Primus' "Frizzle Fry" ushering in the '90s with Hunter Ginn

Hunter Ginn.  Canvas Solaris, Plague Psalm, Agalloch, Dolven, Sculptured, Radical Research, Deserts of Hex.. what can this man not do?  We decided to try and find out by inviting him to join us on IHM.  Hunter wanted to discuss two albums that are very special to us; Primus' "Frizzle Fry" and Prong's "Beg to Differ."  Both released in 1990, both helped usher in a new sound and new era for metal and alternative music.  We delve into these records and related subjects.

Of corpse, we also indulge in a few segments, and a few listener emails.  So, call up Mike Browning and set the time machine to 1990, and join us.
