I always wonder why magazines and journalists don't take a gamble and report on these excellent albums by Irish bands who have success abroad.

This year AoP signed to Candlelight Records!!! The home of Emperor, Enslaved and Blut Aus Nord to name a few.

I'd never heard of Primordial so I looked at their site. This is on the front page.
'Like many Irish people right now I don’t know if I can look society square in the eye, or at least the instruments of the church and state without wanting to see them burned to the ground. You can almost taste the betrayal, and it is bitter sweet.'
I know the guitarist from Primordial.Fucking sound bloke.
Pretty sure the singer is related to G-stereotypical, possibly brothers?
Anyway do people really want underground metal recognised by the mainstream Irish press. I'm not too pushed myself but then I'm not in a metal band.
I've heard the lead singer is a handy footballer.
I'd say you'd be hard-pressed to find a single mainstream Irish music journalist who knows a jot about metal

Fist time I ever heard Testament, Anthrax, Suicidal Tendencies and loads of others was when Eamonn Carr filled in for Dave Fanning in the late 80s
You mean the late 80s when Melody Maker and NME where championing a load of actually good bands there was no internet and the music industry hadn't yet swallowed up and sucked the life out of radio, television and record shops?
Touche.
Any way point being times have changed. Irish mainstream media in general is an embarassment. How it's possible that music journalism can lack scope in a country with three cities and a population less than 4 million is beyond me.
