Bleeding Metal Podcast

The official language of this episode is Finglish - a gift from Bleeding Metal with love to our Finnish-speaking audience. It's a very entertaining episode and we hope you all enjoy it. The second day of the TUSKA FORUM by BLEEDING METAL at this year's Tuska Festival in Helsinki started with Kiki showing off her Finnish skills - which didn't take her too far, but at least the audience applauded the effort. MC Raaka Pee and Shag-U from TURMION KÄTILÖT shared anecdotes from their 20-year band career and answered some interesting questions from the audience. 01:49 Live recording of the interview with TURMION KÄTILÖT 44:23 Kiki & Pia’s commentary Show notes: TURMION KÄTILÖT's websiteepisode about TUSKA UTOPIA TUSKA FORUM by BLEEDING METAL interview recorded by Perttu Lähdesmäki on July 1st at Tuska Festival and edited by Savvier Nelson - commentary recorded on September 5th, 2023, and edited by Kiki.

The opening event of the TUSKA FORUM by BLEEDING METAL, which was hosted by Kiki at this year's Tuska Festival in Helsinki, was this interactive workshop about Artificial Intelligence and music. The goal of the session was to implement the technology live and let generative AI create a song with all the necessary elements: music, lyrics, and cover art. We sat down with Osmo and Nico from GALVANIZER and Saku and Sampo from SLASH THE SMILE - with the support of Savvier Nelson in charge of the software - and discussed how AI is already affecting the music industry and how it can develop into a useful tool or a threat to creative professionals. In this episode, you can listen to the live recorded panel and Pia and Kiki's thoughts on this topic that is being talked about everywhere this year. 05:10 Live recording of the panel 43:54 Kiki & Pia’s commentary Show notes: AI-created mashup "Ice Ice Matrix"Artificial Intelligence lyrics creation tool These Lyrics Do Not Exist"Metal Breakdown Generator" DJENEU-commission vice president's statement about labeling AI content against disinformation on social mediaGrimes’ tweet about using their voice through AI tools TUSKA FORUM by BLEEDING METAL interview recorded by Perttu Lähdesmäki on June 30th at Tuska Festival and edited by Savvier Nelson - commentary recorded on August 21st, 2023, and edited by Pia and Kiki.

We like our topics deep and our episodes dark. Initially, Kiki and Pia planned to talk to Sue from THE HELLFREAKS about mixing styles and genres, because that happens on the Hungarian band's new album "Pitch Black Sunset". Ultimately, our whole episode became a mix of topics and we didn't skip a deep one: War, death, COVID, politics, fears, money, feminism,... You know, our favorite topics! By the end, we also talk about cats to lighten up the mood before saying goodbye!

Kiki and Pia welcome Charlie from AS EVERYTHING UNFOLDS back on the podcast! We catch up about how much the vocalist has personally grown with the band in the past few years and how her writing shifted focus from more private, Mental Health-related topics to more abstract, creative themes in the band's new album "Ultraviolet". Personal growth and combining creative passions are big topics in this conversation, as well as on AEU's new record, which we now see in a different light. After the recording of the episode, Kiki was able to catch the band live and witness AS EVERYTHING UNFOLDS having fun on stage with a confident Charlie delivering great vocals and getting the audience excited. It was a great show despite its short duration - highly recommend checking out the band's headline dates!

"Ultraviolet", the new album from AS EVERYTHING UNFOLDS resembles a photograph - the capture of a moment in time. The young British band work with the concept of photography in this album, which they describe as "an open work on the thoughts and feelings surrounding us at the time. The anger, the frustration, the progress - everything is on show and nothing is hidden". As fitting as this description is, we liked the lyrical depth that their previous album had. Pia and Kiki discuss in this bonus episode, what we liked and disliked about "Ultraviolet" and why you should give it a listen, too. AS EVERYTHING UNFOLDS' second album "Ultraviolet" comes out April 21st, 2023. Recorded on April 9th, 2023.

As a musician, finding a band to join can become very difficult. There are not always friends around who share the same vision as you. To start a band, different things have to fit: characters, skill levels, music style choices, availabilities, and ambitions. In this episode, Pia asks Kiki about her journey as a musician and Joko comes back to tell us about her experiences, which include several collaborations and sharing the stage with CALIBAN, while she looks for her next band. Together, we also discuss whether searching for a band is even more difficult for women, gender double standards in the matter, and we try to find a male vocalist who “does it all”.

Gina Lucia runs a Youtube channel with the related #bookstagram and discord community around books and reading. However, unlike most resources about reading, she doesn't strictly encourage doing it more and more. Instead, her videos are analytical about the psychology of reading and can even be critical of a society that puts people who read more books on a pedestal. Gina gives advice about reading but most importantly about taking the pressure off this activity. Another important focus to her is that reading is inclusive and accessible to everyone. We loved talking to her about her journey to becoming a YouTuber as well as inquiring about her taste in music and games.

Finding out what makes us different from other people is essential while getting to know ourselves. However, "othering" can lead to discrimination if we don't keep these observations neutral.

Join us in analyzing these behaviors and discussing how to change them.

This episode had more than its share of technical issues (maybe there were some patriarchal demons messing with us?). Still, it was a meaningful conversation that we hope will empower you all to take charge of your reproductive life, to get informed, and to weigh your options consciously. WE AWAKE's guitarist Marnie joins us to talk about her experience as a woman in Metal and her choice to get sterilized in her early twenties. We open up about our own choices, how hormonal birth control is sometimes not the best choice, and how the possibility of getting pregnant can have a toll on one's mental health.

In this sequel to our episode with Tobias Duncan from TRASH BOAT, we discuss other aspects and intersections of our identities - including music subcultures, hobbies, and other parts of ourselves that make us who we are. It's an emotional and personal episode but like identity itself, it has a strong socio-political significance. We want to encourage you to look at yourself through this lens: find out the different parts that make you unique and - if you feel safe - claim those labels and show the world how we're all unique and should all have equal rights and opportunities.
