Heavy Pod Is Heavy Cast

Heavy Pod Is Heavy Cast! What the title says! This week we have Nina Saeidi of UK-based progressive/doom metal band Lowen! But honestly, that’s underselling it, as there’s a lot more that she does. Be it recreating ancient languages via music, playing Warhammer, or more. As a panel of three people from different Middle Eastern backgrounds, we have a discussion around our traditional music, how it’s wrapped by Western music and culture, and much more. It’s a fascinating discussion, and we had a great time. Hope you do as well. Enjoy! Also, Nina’s jewelry page is here, and here is Lowen’s bandcamp. Join our community on Facebook!
