Cruz explains how years of development, trust, and experience have shaped the band's new album, which feels like one of their "greatest hits." He explains the creative process behind the record and why flaws still matter in heavy music, from discovering his own drum identity inside Lamb of God to recording unprocessed, primarily analog drum performances.The guys also talk about the future of metal, how Santana and Slayer influenced his playing, the use of AI in music, and whether contemporary metal can still create the next wave of iconic bands.

Welcome to the Primordial Radio Podcast! The quote of the week week has to be "...I managed to get frostbite on my crotch" and that's not a hook-and-tease, we don't know what is!

Moose and Dews catch up again this week to discuss Moose's ongoing trials with his marathon training, some upcoming Primordial adventures, and the economics of the music industry, specifically gig tickets.
At time of recording Metallica have just *almost* sold-out their run of dates at The Sphere in Las Vegas, with the only remaining tickets being around $6k each!
It raises more significant questions about whether fans are gradually being priced out of the scene they love and what might happen to touring in the future if prices continue to rise? The guys also chat about future events such as Takedown Festival, the Metal For Good merchandise drive, and the upcoming Primordial Clubhouse Crawl.

Robertson explains how technology can be helpful for daily tasks or inspiration, but he contends that it can never fully replace the emotional bond that is formed when actual musicians perform live. He still believes that music's human component cannot be replaced.

Welcome to the Primordial Radio Podcast! In news that comes as a shock to literally no-one, it turns out that training to run a marathon isn’t all plain sailing. Who’d have guessed?
Listen to Primordial Radio 24/7 👇
https://links.primordialradio.com/listen
In the latest podcast, Moose shares some of the trials and tribulations of his marathon training, including his - possibly pointless - search for that elusive “runner’s high.”
The guys discuss gym milestones, the odd sensation of having time again after working multiple jobs, and the ongoing juggling act between work, parenting, and everything else life throws at you.
They also chat about some of the recent rock news, including a new frontman for Twisted Sister, and additional Las Vegas dates for Metallica, before digging into the potential possibilities for Ozzfest in the UK. It may be an uphill struggle, but if anyone can make it happen, our money is on Sharon Osbourne.

Sylosis frontman and guitarist Josh Middleton joins us to talk all about the bands new album 'The New Flesh' out 20 February via Nuclear Blast.

In this interview, Josh speaks to Adam Whalley from a tour bus in Europe and reflects on where Sylosis currently sits in the metal scene in 2026, and why killer riffs will always matter more than chasing the current trend. He also talks about his early influences, why Korn’s “Good God” had a huge impact on him and was his gateway into heavy music, recalls Slipknot at Reading Festival 2000 as the best show he’s ever seen, and contrasts the chaotic energy of their early recordings with the hyper-polished production today.

Moose is deep into his marathon training, and Dewsbury seems to have pissed off the Gods of parenting, so much so that he fears he may never get a full nights sleep again, so it seemed appropriate to have a catch up.
After all, as they realise whilst recording, it has been almost 20 years for the pair of them! They also talk about Moose’s fundraising achievements to date, how he wants to keep raising as much money as possible for Metal For Good and discuss plans brewing for a night at Tom’s Tap, a potential Primordial quiz, and even an online meat draw. Yes. A meat draw.

Welcome to the Primordial Radio Podcast!

10 February 2026, 6:00 pm - 58 minutes 20 secondsDealing With A Toxic Culture In Metal... Has The Scene Lost Its Way?
Welcome to the Primordial Radio Podcast! In this episode, we're discussing the growing divide between the real-world community and the "chronically online" keyboard warriors who seem determined to suck the fun out of the heavy metal scene.
Listen to Primordial Radio 24/7 👇
https://links.primordialradio.com/listen
The podcast also finds Moose in an emotional mood, as his youngest son has just left the UK to go travelling. Meanwhile, Dews’ son has just been ill, prompting a late-night trip to the doctor, in between bouts of being called a “stinky bum-bum-face” by an overly enthusiastic toddler. Sigh.
Following on from the joys of parenthood, and a brief - quite incredibly sweary - venting session from Dewsbury, the guys take a grateful look back at last weekend’s Primordial Up-Vote, and catch up on Moose’s charity fundraising efforts as he trains for the London Marathon. There’s also a small “what if” planning session, just in case he dies. You never know.
There’s also a discussion on some potential upcoming Primordial merch. Dews has only been wanging on about tie-dye for 5 years, and his prayers may soon be answered!

In this conversation, Dave Mustaine talks to Primordial Radio presenter Dewsbury about Megadeth’s past, present, and future, debuting new music alongside archival moments and personal reflections. Dave opens up about respect, rivalry, and closing the circle with Ride the Lightning, reframed through his own hands and perspective, not as provocation, but as acknowledgement and respect.He also talks about what still feels unfinished, including a lingering desire to tour alongside Metallica. It is a candid admission about missed moments, old resentments, and choosing not to live in the past. Megadeth Behind the Mask is in UK cinemas now.
