Mehr Sheer Pod Attack: A Queen Song-By-Song Podcast

Sheer Pod Attack: A Queen Song‑By‑Song Podcast is a weekly deep dive through Queen’s catalogue—in strict chronological order. Hosted by Edinburgh brothers Stephen and Paul Nicholson, lifelong fans since raiding their dad’s Queen's Greatest Hits cassette in the early ’80s, each episode spotlights a single track with context, studio and live history, cultural impact, and where it sits in the Queen universe. After the discussion, the boys deliver their verdict: Top, Middle, or Lower‑tier Queen. Expect archival interview clips, spirited (and often cheeky) debate, and a Queen quiz question.

Episode 13. Procession (1974) Cover

13. Procession (1974)

In this atmospheric deep‑dive, Sheer Pod Attack turns its spotlight on “Procession,” the haunting, guitar‑crafted instrumental that opens Queen II and ushers listeners into one of the band’s most ambitious eras. Stephen and Paul explore how Brian May built an entire orchestral landscape using only layered Red Special harmonies, why the track’s funereal march sets the emotional tone for the album’s “White Side,” and how its medieval, ceremonial feel hints at the band’s fascination with fantasy, drama, and sonic world‑building. The episode unpacks the track’s structure, its unusual role as a non‑vocal opener, and its place in Queen’s tradition of scene‑setting preludes. Expect discussion of May’s multi‑tracking wizardry, the thematic handoff into “Father to Son,” and the way Procession quietly announces that Queen II is not just a rock album — it’s a universe. You’ll also get behind‑the‑scenes trivia, live‑performance context, and a playful debate about whether Procession deserves more recognition as one of Queen’s boldest artistic gambles.
