The Spoken Metal Show

Join Coop on The Spoken Metal Show for a conversation with James Neeson — metal fan, writer, reviewer and author of Mental Health for Metalheads: Rock Your Way to Wellbeing. James brings together his passion for heavy music and his professional experience as a registered nurse to tackle an important subject: mental health in the metal scene. We explore the relationship between heavy music and wellbeing, breaking down the stigma surrounding mental health, and why asking for help is a sign of strength rather than weakness. James also discusses his journey as a writer and the inspiration behind creating a self-help book specifically for metalheads. The book also supports the Sophie Lancaster Foundation, with 50% of its profits donated to the organisation. A conversation about heavy music, personal experience and the importance of looking after ourselves and each other within the metal community. 🎙️ The Spoken Metal Show — championing metal and the people behind the scene since 2018.

Alma Perez is the vocalist and guitarist in COATL (KÓAt•l) an Alternative Metal band from Los Angeles blending heavy modern metal with indigenous identity, mysticism, and bilingual (Spanish/English) lyricism. Named after the Nahuatl word for serpent, COATL draws inspiration from pre-Hispanic culture, spirituality, and the idea of constant evolution. Formed by Alma Perez and Israel Vega, the band’s music explores consciousness, animal rights, corporate greed, metaphysics, and cultural resistance—balancing melodic, memorable rhythms with aggressive riffs and powerful vocals. Their sound moves fluidly between heaviness and atmosphere, ritual and rebellion. COATL has toured across the U.S., Mexico, and Cuba, performing at festivals such as Pinar Rock (Cuba) and Monstros del Metal Mexicano, and sharing stages with Otep, Rata Blanca, Cemican, and Anciients. The band has received multiple recognitions, including Best Hard Rock Band at Premios de Metal Kalani. COATL is currently preparing new releases, including their upcoming fifth album.
