This episode presents an opportunity to discuss the new album from Trivax, The Great Satan, and to gauge Shayan's perspective on the Iran-Israel conflict. As a Persian, Shayan is well-positioned to offer a more nuanced and informed perspective on the conflict that is engulfing his homeland, so be prepared for a comprehensive assessment of the topic. Shayan also discusses the new album as we tussle with the idea that he has single-handedly made many of the tropes in black metal redundant.
