A Pale Horse Named Death
Phase One will host an open forum addressing Merseyside’s metal community, Getintothis’ Olaf Anvilhorn on what to expect.
Liverpool’s metal community will have the chance to come together to discuss the region’s big issues at a special free open forum.
The metal panel forms part of a special evening at Phase One on Monday November 4 with New York powerhouse outfit A Pale Horse Named Death playing afterwards.
The panel, which is free to attend, starts at 6pm at Phase One and includes the following speakers:
- Mark Cooper – host of Spoken Metal Podcast – chair and host
- Joe Maryanji – vocalist of Liverpool metal band Oceanis
- JJ Haggar – promoter of metal and rock music
- Amanda Barnett – PhD student at University of Liverpool, former president of University of Liverpool’s Rock Society and associate editor for Metal Music Studies.
- Ned Hassan – Liverpool John Moores University Lecturer in Media and Getintothis metal columnist
- Peter Guy – Getintothis editor
The panel will address metal within Liverpool, how to build networks, constructive ideas on how to build on the metal community and provide a platform for artists and metal fans to air their views.
Getintothis‘ metal columnist and John Moore’s University lecturer, Ned Hassan, said: “This is an important panel discussion event and I am looking forward to being part of it.
“Since 2015 I have been conducting research that pays specific attention to the experiences of promoters, bands and other people involved with the Merseyside metal scenes, with a particular emphasis on live music scenes.
“Although recent reports have indicated that the live music sector is extremely healthy in Liverpool, I think it is important to recognise that those on the metal scene may not always feel that they have an equal footing within the city.
“Focusing on the experiences of metal musicians, fans and promoters will enable the panel to provide some insights into the contemporary issues facing these often very passionate people as they strive to sustain metal music cultures.”
