Until heavy metal addresses the fact many of its biggest stars - and many of its big, behind-the-scenes people - are far-right fuckheads, it will remain parked as a cultural force. The idiot from Iced Earth is only the visible one. Too many are cheering him on out of sight.

Interesting fact: most metal people who criticise us for being 'un-serious' or 'goofy' didn't grow up during a *civil war* like we did. Go ahead and write your wee songs about hatred and murder: must be great to be a tourist.

Let's stop hero-worshipping meatheads who throw white power salutes on stage. Let's stop creating myths around boys who stabbed a man to death for being gay. Let's stop respecting old men who treat women like meat. Metal was once good enough for Halford and Lemmy. What is it now?

People criticise us for being 'fun' or 'not serious' as a metal band. Those people didn't grow up during an actual civil war, people around them being murdered every day for decades. We'll just write songs about Kurt Russell, if that's okay.

When we started this band, we wrote anti-racist / fascist songs because we believed in it, but also because of a 1970s / 80s tradition of punks and metalheads doing it. In 2002 it was good, but hardly essential. Nazis were about as popular as, well, fucking Nazis then.

Just to be clear: no matter how big the venue's cut, these prices are taking the piss out of fans. The mark-ups on production cost here are enormous - the patch alone probably cost 1 euro or less to produce. Gojira are far from the only band doing this, by the way.

Metal is about freedom to be different, community, and free expression of feelings, creativity and ideas. The Russian invasion of Ukraine is about subjugation, suppression of dissent / identity, and propagation of lies and racism. Every metalhead should stand with #Ukraine .

Without Philip Lynott and Rory Gallagher, there would be no thrash metal. They walked the earth like the medieval Irish monks who spread literacy in Europe, but they were teaching the pounding riff and the gymnastic solo, the Irish attitude, the blueprint for all to come.

We were kids when she tore up a picture of the pope on TV. At the time, all you heard in Ireland was a chorus of cynically butthurt people calling her crazy and evil. She did it because the church was covering up child sexual abuse. She was right, and brave, as she usually was.
