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

    Our Metal Scene is one we are immensely proud of in Ireland but apart from the U.K does anyone else know about it? I have decided to find out and try to spread the word on the bands we have here by talking to similar bands elsewhere in the world. In a series of Zoom interviews, which will see me talk to Metal bands all over in the globe, I need to establish a report, give them a Spotify Irish Metal playlist and hope that a bond of metal shall be formed.
