Formed in 2007, Cursed Sun have spent nearly two decades carving out a sound that blends progressive, thrash, speed, and power metal, earning a reputation as a powerful and uncompromising live band. We talk about the band’s early days and how they’ve survived lineup changes and shifts in the local metal scene.
The conversation focuses on their latest EP, Rituals of the Shattered Mind — a release six years in the making, with momentum disrupted by COVID. Jones and Craig break down the themes behind the EP, the creative frustration of sitting on material for years, and why releasing these five songs now was essential, especially with new material already written and ready to go.
We also dive into songwriting, track by track insights and what’s next for Cursed Sun — before closing out with some lighter questions.
Huge thanks to Jones and Craig from Cursed Sun for the chat. Check out Rituals of the Shattered Mind and let us know your favourite track in the comments.

We explore the world of bass-only drone, sludge, experimental doom. 52:45 yes On this episode of The Metal Cell Podcast, we sit down for an in-depth, one-on-one conversation with Barry Murray, known for his devastating contributions to Cork heaviness through bands like Five Will Die, Partholón, and now his solo drone/doom project Skellig. Across the hour, Barry discusses the evolution from full-band chaos to the stark isolationism of solo bass-only sludge and drone, and why stripping everything back to one bass, seventeen pedals and two amps unlocked a new creative truth. We dive into the origins of Skellig, his minimalist artwork, and the personal philosophy behind making music with no vocals, no drums, no guitars — just tone, distortion, atmosphere, and intent. Barry also talks us through the creation of his new songs and why Rodger and the Cursed Monk ethos are the perfect fit for Skellig’s austere, ritualistic sound in 2026. We get to hear an exclusive and early insight into an exclusive forthcoming track — “A Future Ordained by Spilling Entrails”. We also revisit his previous releases, Of This Carved Land (2022) and Resonance of Our Dolmen (2024), discussing the commentary tied to each work, the minimalist photography behind the artwork, and how solitude, secularism, and distortion shape everything he creates. If you’re into drone, doom, bass worship, experimental minimalism, or just the brutal honesty behind DIY creation, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

We talk about how the band came together during lockdown, dive into their killer EPs Spirit Shifter and These Scars, and explore their songwriting process, recording experiences, and raw live energy. 51:29 yes In this episode, I sit down with Jen Vaughan (Vocals), Darren O’Keeffe (Rhythm Guitar) and Scott McGowan (Lead Guitar) of the band with Mike Jordan (Bass) & Barry English (Drums) making up the rest of Shadows Calling, one of Ireland’s most exciting rising bands blending alt-rock, grunge, and metal into a sound entirely their own. We dive into how the band came together—born during the 2020 lockdown as the brainchild of Mitchelstown native Darren O’Keeffe. He began writing original material for the first time and teamed up with his sister Jen Vaughan, a seasoned frontwoman with 20+ years in the music industry. Darren later discovered Cork guitarist Scott McGowan through an online musicians’ platform, igniting the dual-guitar foundation that drives the band’s hard-hitting sound. Their debut EPs, Spirit Shifter and These Scars, showcase their raw energy, collaborative songwriting, and genre-blending edge. All lyrics are co-written by Darren and Scott, with music crafted collectively by the entire band. We also talk about the creative process behind both EPs—produced and mixed by John Murphy (For Ruin) and mastered by Marco Tervonen of The Crown (Sweden)—plus stunning artwork by Colin Bolger (Spirit Shifter) and Giulia Benvenuti (These Scars). From studio sessions and live tour reactions to Jen’s perspective as a female vocalist in metal and what 2025 has in store, this episode is packed with insight, passion, and authenticity. 🎧 Follow Shadows Calling: ▸ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shadowscalling/ ▸ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shadowscalling13 ▸ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1T4NZVz7bX6IzMH2VBnqKC ▸ Merch: https://shadowscalling1.bandcamp.com 📲 Follow the Podcast: ▸ New episodes weekly – Subscribe: https://www.themetalcell.com ▸ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themetalcellpodcast/?hl=en ShadowsCalling #IrishMetal #AltRock #GrungeMetal #FemaleFrontedMetal #CorkBands #MarcoTervonen #TheCrown #ColinBolger #GiuliaBenvenuti #MetalPodcast #IrishMusicScene Irish Heavy Metal Podcast, Irish Metal Interviews, The Metal Cell Podcast, Irish Metal, Metal Ireland, Irish Music interviews, Irish interview Podcast, Irish Metal gig and interview, Irish rock interviews, Irish Music Podcast In this episode, I sit down with Jen Vaughan (Vocals), Darren O’Keeffe (Rhythm Guitar) and Scott McGowan (Lead Guitar) of the band with Mike Jordan (Bass) & Barry English (Drums) making up the rest of Shadows Calling, one of Ireland’s most exciting rising bands blending alt-rock, grunge, and metal into a sound entirely their own.

Church Road Records may have started in 2017 as a DIY operation run out of a spare room, but in just a few short years, it has carved out a reputation for consistency, taste, and innovation in the world of underground heavy music.

All proceeds from these gigs will go directly toward his stem cell treatment in Serbia. The conversation was emotional, inspiring, and full of love — from Adam sharing his MS journey to Confey reflecting on Adam’s incredible impact on others. The support has been overwhelming — his fiancée Tania’s GoFundMe has already raised over €75,000, and that number is still climbing. 53:52 yes Two special benefit gigs are set to take place in Dublin and Cork on April 24th and 25th in support of Adam Moore, (Merch Limbo/ex guitarist with Hero In Error), who has been living with multiple sclerosis (MS) for over a decade. All proceeds from the shows will go directly toward funding Adam’s ongoing stem cell treatment in Serbia. In a deeply moving conversation, I was joined by Adam, long-time friend & Hero In Error drummer Steve "Confey" Reilly, along with Evan from Dead Cult Promotions /Worn Out, to talk about the shows and the journey that led them here. Adam spoke candidly about his diagnosis and the challenges he’s faced living with MS, while Confey reflected on Adam’s time in Hero In Error and the lasting impact he’s had on the Irish music community and beyond. That sense of impact is clear in the response to a GoFundMe campaign launched by Adam’s fiancée, Tania, which has already surpassed the €75,000 mark — a milestone that surprised everyone except, perhaps, those who know just how many lives Adam has touched. Adam’s determination in seeking alternative treatments and his decision to undergo stem cell therapy is a testament to his strength and resilience. These upcoming shows are more than just gigs — they’re a show of solidarity from a community that stands behind one of its own.

Formed by guitarist, producer and sound engineer, Gary Duncan from Portlaoise, a producer at Red Lake Sound locally, and vocalist Adam Brewer, originally from Dublin, the lads were joined by Spooky’ Chris Craig on guitars, and bassist Al ‘Buster Bhoy’ Tierney. I talk to Adam, Gary and Al about their approach to song writing, videos and future gig plans. The lads certainly fall under the 'ones to watch' category as they offer an exciting approach to their music visually and creatively. Check out their link below and dive into the sonic underworld with Chiral Labs.

The band have released three absolutely face melting singles so far with Willow stepping forward to take over vocal duties. I was really looking forward to discussing that brilliant transformation as a front man with Willow along with the thought process that went into the videos to match up with the singles. One of which has already been flagged by YouTube as being too extreme. We cover plenty of topics on this great catch-up with Aesect as the lads prep for the release of a new album and a look to book a series of gigs around the country.

Pat and I really enjoyed the insights that Andy & Anaïs shared with us about how the band started, the connections they made through their previous bands which all helped get 'Nimue' off the ground and exploring the artistic side of the band. It was also nice to acknowledge a previous guest from The Smashing Skull Sessions, the supremely talented Jo Quail, with an mind blowing guest performance on “A Pile of Stone Upon Her Grave”.

Adrian Foley of Necrokinesis, Red Cocoran of Necrotized & Roan Hynes of Terror Syndrome. full Richard Duhig It was a pleasure to welcome Adrian Foley of Necrokinesis, Red Cocoran of Necrotized & Roan Hynes of Terror Syndrome to the show for part four of my series featuring Irish Metal solo artists. 1:12:49 yes It was a pleasure to welcome Adrian Foley of Necrokinesis, Red Cocoran of Necrotized & Roan Hynes of Terror Syndrome to the show for part four of my series featuring Irish Metal solo artists. Adrian had been previously on with his other project, the brilliant Melodic Death Metal release: 'The Ancient Dark' ep. Having returned to his thrash roots for the second incredible Necrokinesis album 'A Force Made Flesh' which drops on August 5th, it was a perfect time to catch up with the ex-Stereo Nasty guitarist. Shane 'Red' Cocoran is well known in the Kilkenny Metal Scene, having been in Crucifracture, Grot, Oncology and Putrefy. So I was really intrigued to hear his first solo offering as Necrotized, with the release of some gruesome Death Metal in the shape of the 'Eternal Perversion' LP which dropped during May this year. The youngest guest I've had on the show for quite a while is Roan Hynes, an eighteen year old from Cork who has been creating waves in the scene already having a glut of releases since 2021. Playing a mixture of synthwave and Metal, Roan is steadily building a following of fans both here in Ireland and further afield, check out his excellent current release Vol.2: Fear Surge. Despite what you may imagine confines a solo artist to playing live, Roan has already two gigs under his belt as a one man show under Terror Syndrome and he is definetly one to watch in this exciting time for Irish Metal. Hope you enjoy the interview with Adrian, Red and Roan, please 'SUBSCRIBE' to the podcast and give it a rating on whatever platform you listen to it on. Thanks, Richie.

We talk about this brilliant release, their fantastically unique comic series 'The Bloodied' along with what Damim have planned for the rest of the year.

It's a crushing mixture of raging doom/hardcore/sludge that builds upon all their previous releases since they formed in 2013. I happened to met Jim after the gig and ended up having a great chat with him. When he said he had visited Cork before, the invitation was immediately handed out to come on the show to talk about his band, his life and that infamous visit to Cork. Hope you enjoy the episode and hit 'SUBSCRIBE' to the Metal Cell YouTube channel, if you haven't already!

I talk to Kevin Byrne whose epic solo Death Metal album 'Collapse The Mountain' is out now. full Richard Duhig Kevin Byrne it's fair to say is a veteran of the Irish Metal Scene stretching back to the formation of Valediction in 2005. When Valediction went their separate ways Kevin approached Mick Richards, who recorded their debut album. He told him his plans for his solo project 'Sonus Mortis' and after six albums in nine years the bond is still strong. There is plenty to cover after six albums in nine years in relation to how Kevin approaches song structures, lyrical themes and the build up to his current brilliant release 'Collapse The Mountain'. 1:15:14 yes Kevin Byrne it's fair to say is a veteran of the Irish Metal Scene stretching back to the formation of Valediction in 2005. Myself and Kevin cover those years leading up to the release of their acclaimed debut album 'The Primitive Architecture' recorded in 2010/20011, by a relatively young Mick Richards at Track Mix Studios. In fact that bond with Mick was to prove fruitful when Valediction went their separate ways, with Kevin approaching Mick with plans for his solo project 'Sonus Mortis'. Six albums in nine years is an incredible outlay for an solo artist and there is plenty to cover in relation to how Kevin approaches song structures, lyrical themes and the build up to his current brilliant release 'Collapse The Mountain'.

It's great to listen to Padraig and Cole talk about their band so passionately, they certainly came across as two accomplished musicians looking to push aside any boundaries that Metal fans are used to and hit them with something different and unique.
Myself and Howard are really looking forward to the day we can watch them up on a stage blasting out the tracks from 'Teemu Khan'. If you enjoyed this episode please hit 'SUBSCRIBE' to sign up for more interviews like this. Thanks Richie.

We get an in-depth account from Alan about Primordial's rise to achieve that status with some fantastic insights into his creative process along with his other band as the bassist and vocalist of Dread Sovereign. There's certainly a fortitude and mental strength to survive thirty one years playing in Primordial and as their lead vocalist, Alan shares tales of gigs, fights and his views on the changes in the metal scene since he first started out. Hope you enjoy it. Richie.

Xander, Evan, Brian & Alex talk about their ferocious Hardcore/Metal debut E.P. 'WASTE'. full Richard Duhig It was a pleasure to visit Hardcore/Metal act Worn Out up in their rehearsal space to celebrate the launch of their jaw-droppingly aggressive debut E.P 'WASTE'. Having witnessed the whole E.P played with brutal fury live in Belfast a few months back, it was a great to get the inside story on the the four tracks that make up this blistering debut. 55:02 yes It was a pleasure to visit Hardcore/Metal act Worn Out up in their rehearsal space to celebrate the launch of their jaw-droppingly aggressive debut E.P 'WASTE'. Having witnessed the whole E.P played with brutal fury live in Belfast a few months back, it was a great to get the inside story on the the four tracks that make up this blistering debut. The first single release that cranked up the anticipation levels was 'Miles Away' mainly due to Conor Dockery's excellently twisted dark video. The lads fill us in on that and we talk about the production, recording and mixing of Aidan Cunningham. Getting James Sheridan was an inspired choice with the fantastic artwork that mirrors the abrasive onslaught of the E.P. After waiting for nearly two and a half years, WORN OUT have finally delivered a debut E.P that simply smashes the listener in the face and it's a glorious knockout blow. It's my favourite E.P of the year, so go out if you haven't already and buy the vinyl, the merch and celebrate another amazing band to look forward to in 2022. A special thanks goes out to Paul Flynn of Paul Flynn Productions who did a brilliant job of filming and editing this episode. All songs used on this episode © 2021WORN OUT all rights reserved.

Chris Harte guitarist with hardcore/metal band Bailer gives us a fascinating insight into their incredible debut album 'Disposable Youth'. full Richard Duhig I was delighted to finally open up the Metal Cell studios to welcome Chris Harte of Bailer. Chris navigates us through the making of 'Disposable Youth' their debut album, we explore the topics of the album and you get to hear clips of songs. The album grabs the listener by the throat and forces you to face what Bailer wants you to see....a brutal reality filled with hostility, where you are battered with seismic riffs and pummelled into submission by a band that are on top of their game. 1:10:20 yes I was delighted to finally open up the Metal Cell studios to welcome Chris Harte of Bailer. When Chris sent me on 'Disposable Youth' a few days previous, I was nervous enough approaching it. The four singles sounded immense but how would they interact with the rest of the songs and how would it play as a whole album from the start to finish. The results were jaw dropping! Bailer have made the debut album we all hoped they would. They have given the Hardcore/Metal scene the shot in the arm it needed, a voice to a generation who have suffered from mental health issues, abandonment and sheer frustration at living in a void created by a failure of successive governments.

MOLYBARON are about to release their sophomore album; a ten song epic titled "The Mutiny" . full Richard Duhig MOLYBARON. Gary Kelly, the Irish vocalist and guitarist of the band talks about moving to Paris and creating the MOLYBARON. The band are about to release their sophomore album titled "The Mutiny", signing to Sonys 'InsideOut' label and with live gigs on the horizon it's certainly something that Gary and his fellow bandmates are excited about. 1:05:33 yes I was delighted to welcome Gary Kelly, the Irish vocalist and guitarist of the band. Gary talked about his move from Dublin to Paris which kick started his love for metal and ended up with him creating demos in 2014, It took meeting Steven Andre (guitarist) that planted the seed for the band MOLYBARON to grow. Gary wrote and recorded all the songs in his bedroom which eventually turned out to be their self titled album; they learned the hard way that being in a metal band in Paris didn't guarantee them an audience and success. A few years later, with Sebastien De Saint-Angel (Bass) and Camille Greneron (drums) they are about to release their brilliant riff laden sophomore album titled "The Mutiny". It contains ten songs describing the uphill struggle to overcome mental health issues – depression, guilt, drug and alcohol use. Having released three singles off "The Mutiny" Rolling Stone and Rock Hard magazine have all wrote glowing reports on the band, signing to Sony's 'InsideOut' music and with live gigs on the horizon, it's certainly an important few months ahead for MOLYBARON.

When I heard that Def Leppard played to a packed pub in Tramore before they flew off to Donnington, it certainly made me sit up. The Waterford music scene has a rich history of music/concerts but I always thought it was more dance orientated or favoured trad based bands. Clive Bolger grew up in the eighties and played drums with many bands along with getting support slots to Def Leppard and Mama's Boys. He was also a promoter in the city until he finally left for Madrid. Another musician and promoter was Dave Cleere who both played in The Great Ocean Divide and set up Murphfest. Brian also played in Dave's band, was involved with setting up gigs and was very active in the scene. Dave Longan, who grew up in Dungarvan gave us some interesting insights into the student culture and the role that the Central Arts played in hosting Metal gigs. We also discuss pirate Metal shows on the local radio, different festivals and try to figure out how the scene slowly finally fizzled out.

Whilst some Kilkenny bands like Kerb Dog and Engine Alley rose to prominence; there was another bunch of younger sometimes extreme, metal bands waiting in the shadows. Gout, Slave Zero, Victimised, Chemical Addiction, Attrax Mantis and Alt rockers Itchy Trigger Finger were all playing to jam packed venues in Kilkenny and were bringing in bands from outside the county as well. We discuss how important the Metal Scene was to the lads back in the day and try to figure out how it finally fizzled out in the naughties.

]]> Myself and Jack met up with John Cooke (Guitars) and Tom Dring (Drums) of Corrupt Moral Altar to discuss the release of their ferocious new e.p "Patiently Waiting for Wonderful Things". Their mix of grind, sludge, punk and hardcore has won them admirers in the U.K since 2012. We also talk to John about his tours with Napalm Death, Venomous Concept and Anaal Nathrakh as a live guitarist and Tom, who runs Vagrant Recordings, where he produces a whole manner of filth for bands like Venom Prison, Venomous Concept and Video Nasties. Corrupt Moral Altar want to play Ireland so hopefully they'll bring their sludge/grindcore for fans of the scene here in 2021. Share, like and subcribe to the Podcast. Thanks Richie.

The new material will certainly delight Molarbear fans, short fast and brutal riffs alongside some excellent rhythms and vocals. The brilliant Storklord will have a worthy successor once the lads can get into a studio and fine tune their efforts.

Since they were formed in 2009, Psykosis have built up an impressive array of supports to M.O.D, DRI, Diamond Head, Sacred Reich, Trivium, Sodom, Onslaught and Nuclear Assault to name a few. Due to their incendiary live shows, which saw them been invited to play Bloodstock twice and Metal Days in Slovenia, Psykosis have built up a large following of fans in the Irish Scene playing venues up and down the country. Despite a few line up changes, Grant and Tom have not let that hinder their progress, judging by "Insanitized" a demo of one of several new killer songs ready to be put out sometime next year.

]]> Originally formed in Harrogate, Yorkshire in 1985, Acid Reign debuted with the Moshkinstein EP in 1988 with first full-length The Fear dropping the following year.1990’s Obnoxious ditched most of the light-hearted references from previous albums and took a turn for the progressive, before the band split up one year later. Returning in 2019 with the brilliant and critically acclaimed "The Age Of Entitlement", the rebooted band seems more serious than ever, with vocalist Howard ‘H’ Smith as sole remaining founding member. Myself and Joe caught up with 'H' and talked about his two main loves, which are metal and comedy. We get to cover everything from Marillion, Judas Priest, Irish gigs, Podcasts and his successful transformation to stand up/character comedy, that have seen him develop his frontman skills into one of the best UK comedians on the scene today.

I'm going to give them a Spotify Irish Metal playlist to listen to, compare our scene with their scene and hopefully build a relationship that might see a band from Ireland play in their country or vice a versa. The first of these interviews start with the brilliant Sintax from Jerusalem, Israel. Yehi (Vox), Chaye (Guitars) and Slava (Bass) are all veterans of the Israeli Metal Scene having toured relentlessly and are about to launch their new album Nano3000. It was a terrific time to catch them, we chat about gigs, music and discover we share a lot of the same things. The lads have got one tour of Europe under their belts and are keen to do another.

There was plenty of stories of hairy princesses, sheep punching and life growing up in the wonderfully named Penicuik. Dog Tired are playing Bloodstock this year and it was very interesting to hear them talk about how being an independent band can be a positive thing without relying on a major labels help. Part 2 features Skypilot. Recorded at The Old Town Whiskey Bar it was chaotic right from the start. A large hen party was in the room next to us as I was joined by Skypilot and James Loveday from The Distortion Project. Despite the unsettling sight of a naked male model the lads tried to be as professional as one can be given the circumstances. There was plenty to talk about as the lads had enjoyed a very successful 2019, having played Bloodstock and recorded a new album, the excellent "The Affront". With another Siege of Limerick appearance on the horizons and a tour with Blind River, it's shaping up nicely for the Northern Ireland three piece. It was also terrific to have James there as well to give us insights into the thriving Belfast Metal scene that he helped create.

Despite the unsettling sight of a naked male model the lads tried to be as professional as one can be given the circumstances. There was plenty to talk about as the lads had enjoyed a very successful 2019, having played Bloodstock and recorded a new album, the excellent "The Affront". With another Siege of Limerick appearance on the horizons and a tour with Blind River, it's shaping up nicely for the Northern Ireland three piece. It was also terrific to have James there as well to give us insights into the thriving Belfast Metal scene that he helped create.

]]> Part 1 features Dog Tired. The lads had just finished playing a stormer of a set, upstairs in An Spailpin Fanach for Urban Assault 2020, when we had a great chat about the creation of one of their best releases yet "The Electric Abyss". There was plenty of stories of hairy princesses, sheep punching and life growing up in the wonderfully named Penicuik. Dog Tired are playing Bloodstock this year and it was very interesting to hear them talk about how being an independent band can be a positive thing without relying on a major labels help.

Spirit Merchant's Colin Bolger (Vox/Guitars), Leon (Bass/Effects) and Ollie (Drums) all have a wealth of experience between them in their respective bands Zhora, Coroza and Medicant. It was great to sit down with the lads and explore the fundamental building blocks of Spirit Merchant. Having seen their debut last year, I was intrigued to hear how they've progressed as a three piece and they were quick to tell me that they had no shortage of new songs.

This year has been an incredible year for the Irish Metal Scene. The quality of the releases from all our bands has truly brought it to another level in musicianship and professionalism. The amount of bands vying for our attention is incredible, artists created some of their best work ever for album designs and t-shirt's, different genres within the scene sparked lots of interest and encouraged bands to embrace diversity. From the length and breadth of the country, bands have been showing up to play gigs, thankfully promoter's there in our main cities to facilitate this here, the U.K and Europe. I also want to acknowledge Limerick's, Zealot Cult who hit the USA to play a series of gigs as well. While I'm on about Limerick, Bad Reputation and DME Promotions combined to hire out King Johns Castle to host Amon Amarth and Behemoth, one of many highlights of the year for me, along with Rotting Christ hitting Cork for the terrific Monolith Festival, the success of the Siege of Limerick and the Invictus 20 year bash. One can only hope someone will document it in a book next year, I'd like to think the Podcast's certainly captured alot of the vibe of 2019 and I'm so happy to be able to promote the scene here and through Pure Rock Radio in Canada. In picking my compilation, I wanted to include as many bands as I could and to promote the diversity that exists in our scene. I wasn't always into Sludge, Post Metal, Doom, Black metal etc but I have kept a complete open mind going into gigs to watch these bands and have benefited enormously because of it. So having a time frame does tend to confine my selection and it makes it so difficult to leave out some bands therefore apologies if some releases didn't make the cut. Finally I'm so happy to be in the position to release this compilation to the many countries that I have listeners in, thank you all who have loved the show and for your continued support here in Ireland and further afield; shout outs to my listeners who downloaded the shows in Russia, Brazil, Australia, Israel, India, South Africa and many more who love Metal!!!
