Welcome to the Primordial Radio Podcast! Following the tragic news of Phil Campbell’s passing, we pay our respects to the Motörhead and rock n’ roll legend as we revisit our interview with Phil from 2018.

But before we get there, Dews welcomes Pete back to the podcast, despite the fact that he sounds a little worn out from a weekend in London and a chest infection. After that, the guys talk about live music, with a lot of excitement surrounding Korn’s eventual return for a full European headline tour, Architects’ huge support slot, and Marmozets’ ongoing, well-deserved comeback.

There’s also time for some serious music geekery, as the guys discuss whether some records should be left alone and the growing trend of fans remixing classic Metallica albums. Then, as they remember Phil Campbell, not just for his years in Motörhead, but also for the spirit he brought to everything he did, the atmosphere naturally becomes more contemplative. He was one of those people who seemed to live life to the fullest, funny, boisterous, grounded, and totally rock ‘n’ roll. RIP Phil Campbell.
