Moshing to Mozart 6 - Black Lives Matter ft. Lunarmansy

Author: Emily McPherson June 14, 2020 Duration: 1:54:27

Tonight is a very special episode of Moshing to Mozart: We have our first guest, Velda Cardwell, the mastermind behind Lunarmansy, and a participant in the leftist metal scene’s efforts to help out with the resurgence of Black Lives Matter. We talk about how production can make or break an album, which Morbid Angel album is our favorite, and the impact and history of policing in poor and minority communities, as well as the more current topic of the protests over the murder of George Floyd. In this episode we discuss racism and police brutality, as well as briefly touching on sexual assault. If these topics are too much for you, then maybe skip this one.

On Sundays, the needle drops and the conversation starts on Moshing to Mozart: A Queer Heavy Metal Podcast. Host Emily McPherson, alongside co-host Timmolation, digs into the vast and often misunderstood world of extreme music, from blistering black metal to complex classical influences. This isn't just a review show; it's a space where two dedicated fans apply their lived queer experience to the sounds and stories of the genre. You'll hear them share new discoveries, dissect albums with both passion and a critical ear, and dive into the necessary political and social contexts that shape the music. The dynamic is less like a formal interview and more like pulling up a chair with two knowledgeable friends who are as likely to passionately defend a niche band as they are to good-naturedly eviscerate a popular one they find lacking. Expect genuine laughter, thoughtful commentary, and a deep, abiding love for the power of heavy riffs and theatrical melodies. Whether you're a seasoned metalhead looking for a fresh perspective or simply curious about the intersection of identity and amplified sound, this podcast offers a unique and personal entry point. Each episode is a blend of discovery, analysis, and the kind of spirited chat that happens after the house lights come up at a show.
