    <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>After 13 years without a full album, FOR RUIN return with Painted In The Colours Of War.

In this exclusive track-by-track interview, John Murphy and Pete Lawlor explain how this record came to exist — the long silence, the writing process, and the meaning behind every song.</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>In this exclusive podcast episode, we sit down with FOR RUIN founder John Murphy in the studio, joined by Pete Lawlor (bass) via Zoom, for a full, in-depth track-by-track breakdown of the band’s new album: “Painted In The Colours Of War”. Out January 29th, 2026 via Gate Of Doom Records
Rather than a surface-level promo interview, this episode focuses on the long story behind this record — the 13-year gap since the last full-length, the years of silence, the pandemic-era releases, and why this album exists now. Across the episode, we explore:
• Why FOR RUIN returned with a full album after more than a decade
• How the concept and title Painted In The Colours Of War took shape
• John Murphy’s songwriting process and how it has changed since the early days
• Recording and mixing the album at The Barn, North Cork
• Reuniting much of the Last Light era line-up
• The challenges of recording and collaborating at a distance
• How age, perspective, and time influenced the tone of the record
•The artwork, atmosphere, and emotional intent behind each song
• This is a true track-by-track conversation, covering all ten songs on the album
Whether you’re a longtime fan or hearing FOR RUIN for the first time, this episode offers a rare, honest, fan-focused conversation about making extreme metal slowly, deliberately, and on your own terms. We’re 13 subscribers away from 1,000, which is mad. If this kind of long-form, fan-driven metal interview is your thing, subscribing really helps this channel grow. Thanks for being part of it.
