The Primordial Radio Podcast returns for EP438, and this week, Dewsbury is suffering from a fairly sizeable hangover. Unsurprisingly – and rightly so – Moose has precisely zero sympathy. Appropriately enough, they do end up discussing the imminent release of Primordial’s Dirty Panda spiced rum, even though the thought of it makes Dews feel quite ill.
The rock news this week includes details of Pendulum’s long-awaited new album and live dates, Iron Maiden kicking off their 50th anniversary tour with a truly astonishingly good setlist, and a remarkable story about how a family’s decision to attend a Metallica concert may have saved their lives.
The conversation shifts to Metallica’s ongoing M72 World Tour and the business dynamics behind it, including the freedom – and responsibilities – that come with being a major band. The guys also touch on Ice Nine Kills’ controversial use of AI art for plugging their recent merch sale, raising questions about the implications of AI in the creative industry.
