Heavy Metal Philosophy – Details, episodes & analysis

In episode 193 of Heavy Metal Philosophy, Jon Barbas interviews Defeated Sanity about their upcoming album, Chronicles of Lunacy. During the conversation which was recorded in August, the topics we discussed made me question my thoughts on more recent episodes of the podcast. It might seem like I'm reinforcing those points but this podcast was actually recorded before I thought of those ideas. Plus, you have to hear this music. Their brand of jazzy and ultra-technical Brutal Death Metal must be heard to be believed!

In episode 192 of Heavy Metal Philosophy, Jon Barbas interviews Tamás Kátai of Thy Catafalque, the Hungarian metal band that released two wildly different masterpiece albums in just one year! Alfö​ld was bleak and moody where their upcoming album XII: A gyönyörü álmok ezután jönnek is bright and adventurous!

Join us as we explore the creative process behind these albums, the themes and musical styles that set them apart, and the challenges the band faced along the way. We'll discuss the evolution of their sound, and uncover the decisions that made these albums truly exceptional.

On episode 183 of Heavy Metal Philosophy, I chat with the talented Cammie Beverly of Oceans of Slumber to discuss the band's unique challenges as metalheads in the Southern United States. We talk about navigating religious perceptions, record labels pressuring the band to be heavier, privilege, free will, and other heavy philosophical topics. 

Join us as we dive deep into her journey, explore the intersection of identity and music, and celebrate the soulful power of Oceans of Slumber's new record 'Where Gods Fear to Speak'!

The last two years in metal have been incredible and I don't see any reason that 2023 will be any different. I looked ahead at what's coming in the first quarter alone and we won't be thirsty. In this episode, I'll give a quick look at what I'm looking forward to coming this year. We'll talk about Metallica, Pantera, Obituary, Ahab, In Flames, Pierce the Veil, Godsmack, and so much more!

A lot of insane events happened in metal this year. In this episode, I'll touch on some of the highlights for me and what they meant for the genre. We'll also honor some of the pillars of the community that we lost this year. Come celebrate their lives and the music we love.

I got to chat with Tony Reed, the mastermind of Mos Generator about their upcoming album 'Time\\Wounds'. What he told me about how it was recorded surprised and amazed me. And then we just chopped it up about rock n roll. Hope you enjoy the conversation.

I saw Cannibal Corpse in Athens Georgia this weekend with Immolation, Dark Funeral, and Black Anvil. There were some weird experiences including the audience singing Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer for Corpsegrinder. In this episode I'll recount what happened and review each band's performance.

What would happen if a writer like Robert E Howard or Michael Moorcock commissioned a thrash metal band to score the soundtrack to their worlds with high-energy thrash metal? High Command would be the band best suited to accomplish this work. I sat down with Ryan McArdle and asked about their sword and sorcery worlds, and metal chops. It was a lot of fun.
