    <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

  <description>The Metal Cell was delighted to welcome founding members Sonja (guitars) and Jessica (bass) of Dictated on the show. Having been blown away after watching Hypso, it was a pleasure to have a chilled out conversation with them, whilst supping on a beer or two before their much anticipated appearance at the Siege. Sonja and Jessica gave a great insight into the new album Phobos and the people involved, who helped make it one of the best reviewed Death Metal albums of the year so far. Dictated are about to embark on a few months of touring and promoting Phobos so naturally I was filled with great pride that they chose Ireland to launch the album. The Podcast wouldn't be complete without the usual laugh out loud moments and interesting stories by the band. Dictated love Ireland and it shows in this interview.

  <description>The Metal Cell Podcast was delighted to sit down and have a chat with Neil (guitars) and Fredy (vox/guitars) of Nomadus. The lads are off to a flyer with their band, having won over lots of fans with their Metal to the Masses final appearance and about to play in front of an eager crowd at The Siege of Limerick. Nomadus have secured support slots to The Crawling and Elder Druid so the future looks very positive for these Northern Irish Riff Lords. I can only hope they will back up the credentials with an early release next year to showcase their mastery of the riff.
