    <description>Irelands premier and award winning 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, which saw the podcast charting in Europe, the America's, and Asia. Thank you all for listening and for your support, Richie.  #supportyourlocalmetalscene

  <itunes:subtitle>Cancer Puncher returns for one final event, and in this episode I’m joined by Steve Hobson (Bad Boat/Cancer Puncher organiser), Carl King (Two Tales of Woe) and Gareth Ruddock (Sky Pilot). We talk about how the original event came together, the impact cancer has had on people within the scene, raising over €3,000 for charity at the first show, raffle prizes, the Northern Ireland metal scene and what to expect from Cancer Puncher 2.</itunes:subtitle>

The conversation also covers the upcoming Cancer Puncher 2 event, the importance of the Metal and alternative scene pulling together for charity, raffle prizes donated by bands including Therapy?, Ten Ton Slug and Slomatics, and why this final event means so much to everyone involved.&lt;br&gt;
