The Metal Cell Podcast
Irelands Premier Metal Music Podcast.
About the show
Irelands Premier Metal Music Podcast. The Metal Cell Podcast sets out to promote the Irish Metal Scene by talking to the bands, promoters, artists and fans of this musical genre. I hope to interview as many generations as possible involved in the Irish Metal community from those who create the music, design the artwork, promote the gigs or simply fans of the music itself. It's one of the most exciting times ever to be a Metal fan in Ireland with so many home grown and international metal bands touring our cities and releasing incredible music. This Podcast has become a solid link in communicating our voices throughout the world wide Metal community. The bonds forged in the Metal Scene are strong, loyal and lasting. Friendships created that traverse oceans and continents linking us to Europe, the America's, The Far East and even into the Eastern Block. Thank you all for listening and for your support, Richie. #supportyourlocalmetalscene

The band are tearing up the Metal rule book by incorporating a huge amount of diverse influences and styles to create their own strange brew to intoxicate the punters. Their videos show a band that are creatively connected with their audience and with the release of their excellent 'Volume 2', I couldn't wait to catch up with Idle Discourse to chat about a huge year stamping their mark on the Irish music scene.

The twice yearly Siege of Limerick is one of the most anticipated events in every Irish Metalheads calendar. A huge array of talented bands from Ireland & all over Europe, along with fans all flock to Dolans on Limericks dockside, to experience this free three staged affair with a huge emphasis on music, respect and craic. John & Ciaran Culhane established Siege of Limerick in 2008 and with it about to celebrate it's 30th edition I thought it was a perfect time to catch up with John and find out what makes him keep doing it and get a few insights into the running of both the Siege and Bad Reputation promotions.
