Hi all! I run a podcast for unsigned metal bands but I've posted about that already so won't harp on about that too much more (link below) . I've dropped a 'bonus episode' covering my introduction to Cradle, and some of my own stories of things going on around the time of each release. This kinda thing will become a regular bolt on to the normal episodes as I talk about all sorts of things, life, dramas, addictions and recovery, survival with a view to empowering other musicians to stick at their game. Lemme know what you think (episode link also below).

I'm kinda new here so Hello! I hope everyone is well and enjoying the weekend. I am the curator of The Sonic Symphonic Podcast; an outlet for unsigned metal artists and bands to get heard (no-cost/no-catch, yes... really!). I'll also be expanding with some real-life story-telling and colourful interviews in the coming months too. This little idea I had a few months ago has now grown into a philosophical mission to promote and engender musicians to invest in the furtherance of their own unique talents above all else as a mechanism for overcoming and even surpassing the frailty of mental health, the general vicissitudes of life, and any suffering that is the human condition. My thoughts are that if I can make a musician or a collective of musicians feel heard on a podcast, and try to make it as good as a podcast as I can, and that if in someway in so doing this, it not only compels listeners to enjoy music but also uplifts and further compels those musicians to continue their journey; then that must be something of merit in some small way. As a musician I totally understand the difficulty of getting shares, likes, heard, appreciated and as a listener I'm always searching for new music myself so I welcome submissions of track to [email protected]. Note - in the podcast name I use the term "Symphonic" very lightly; as it is in itself an interchangeably conglomorous term these days and when I say unsigned, I mean unsigned and emerging as I wouldn't strike supporting a fresh band still struggling to gain a fan-base just because they've signed the dotted line on a minor label contract and in reality, nothing has really changed. So send me stuff! I think that's enough of an introduction; I hope that I have set my profile up correctly and the latest episode is embedded in the signature, doesn't take up the whole screen, and works when you click it and stuff. I look forward to responses! Thanks!
