| #193: Defeated Sanity Make Me Question Time and Linear Thinking. | 19 Nov 2024 | 01:08:05 | |
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!

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.

| #85: Is Dream Unending The Most Positive Band in Doom Metal? | 08 Nov 2022 | 00:36:01 | |
Like a lot of other metal fans I was blown away by the Dream Unending debut album, Tide Turns Eternal. It was my 2021 Doom album of the year. So when I got the opportunity to chat with Derrick Vella, the guitarist for Dream Unending and Tomb Mold, I was truly excited. Even with that excitement I was surprised by how positive and charismatic he was during the conversation. We talked about their ambitious new album Song of Salvation and of course some philosophy and I think his message is genuine and inspiring. I hope you enjoy.

| #80: Should Legendary Bands Stop Making New Albums and Only Tour? | 04 Oct 2022 | 00:09:07 | |
Sully Erna from Godsmack said that their next album will be their last. This got me thinking about other veteran bands. Is this a smart move? Should more bands do this? Which bands should follow suit? Some legendary bands stopped making new music and as a result, their reputation is without any blemishes. There are other bands like Metallica who have released albums that fans don't like. Let's discuss the matter in this week's episode of Heavy Metal Philosophy!

| #75: I'm Anxious. Will the New Behemoth Album Be Good? | 06 Sep 2022 | 00:17:12 | |
I'm a big fan of the last three Behemoth records. Evangelion, The Satanist, and I Loved You At Your Darkest are all outstanding. But after hearing the singles from the new album, Opvs Contra Natvram, I'm pretty worried I may not like the next record. I don't really like Ov My Herculean Exile, but I do like The Deathless Sun. So what am I looking for in the next one? Let's discuss it on this week's episode!

Between the recent releases from Amon Amarth and Arch Enemy, the current release from Machine Head, and the upcoming release from Behemoth; I have an important question to ask you all.

| #73: Why Does Spotify Censor Metal Album Art But Not Podcasts? | 23 Aug 2022 | 00:25:55 | |
It's come to my attention that Spotify has been censoring metal album cover art. There's also been articles written about explicit content on the platform prompting the company to take further action. People have gone to forums requesting options for explicit content on their profiles. I typically am always against censoring art, but where do we draw the line? Let's discuss the issue on this week's episode.

| #72: Did Deceivers Win Me Back on Alissa Era Arch Enemy? | 16 Aug 2022 | 00:14:21 | |
After last week's episode about old legendary bands still putting out brutal metal I had an epiphany about the way I judge bands that diverge in sound. My review of Arch Enemy's Deceivers will expand on my epiphany.

| #71: How Are Some Metal Bands Still Brutal When They're Old? | 09 Aug 2022 | 00:17:02 | |
I used to think that metal was for young people. I thought that once bands got old they eventually lost their edge. We've definitely gotten some high-profile examples of that, but some veteran metal bands recently put out some supremely heavy albums. What is the difference? How are bands like Cannibal Corpse able to still be so brutal? How is Soulfly still so angry? Did the new Amon Amarth coast or are they still destroying? Let's talk about it.

I was researching opinions on Christians listening to Black and Satanic metal when I came across a hilarious piece of advice from a man claiming to be a former Satanic Sorcerer. But that wasn't his only extraordinary claim. You have to hear this to believe it.

| #69: When Solar Goes Wrong, Can I Get Help Out Here? | 26 Jul 2022 | 00:28:04 | |
Everything was going great out here at the cabin in the woods. But this past weekend we had a lightning strike near the homestead. The shock took out my well water pump, the garage doors, the internet, and my solar inverter. I can fix or get fixed everything but the solar inverter. There's a lot of unknown maintenance issues that come with solar powering your homestead. I'll go over them in this episode and unfortunately also spell out a few scams I've seen solar salesmen try to pull on people.

The way we feel about moral issues can often be clouded by our biases. In order to answer this question it was a useful exercise to compare this Pantera tribute tour to other bands that have reunited without original members.

| #67: The Metallica Stranger Things "Controversy" Reveals Truth About Society | 12 Jul 2022 | 00:15:20 | |
After the Master of Puppets scene in Stranger Things, the internet exploded with joy from the metal community. But there were also articles written and takes tweeted denouncing people gatekeeping Metallica and fans who discover them from the show. I was curious about these gatekeepers so I did a little searching, but I didn't find hardly any people doing this. From reading the volume of tweets I expected a mass of angry metal nerds, but I couldn't find them. What explains this phenomenon? I think I know the answer. Let's discuss it in this week's episode.

| #66: The Philosophy of Gojira; Examining Tera Icognita | 05 Jul 2022 | 00:14:18 | |
This week we do a deep dive on Gojira's debut album, Terra Icognita. It's pretty remarkable that even from the opening album the band already was writing deep lyrical examinations of humanity and our relationship with the natural world. Most bands eventually grow into deeper meanings, but Gojira was there right from the start. Let's examine the album together!

On episode 180 of Heavy Metal Philosophy, we tackle the claim that there are only three genres of Heavy Metal. Eric from the Heavy Metal 101 Podcast made this statement in a reel. Eric is a university music professor who is working on his PhD and his podcast is excellent.

| #63: Why Do Metal Bands Love Dark Souls Games? | 14 Jun 2022 | 00:12:10 | |
Tomb Mold just released a new demo and it got me on a kick of listening to metal bands that are soulsborne themed. It turns out there's quite a lot of them, probably more than any other video game. Why is that? What is it about Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and/or Elden Ring that resonates with metal heads? I go over the similarities between metal music and the games and I talk about some of the great bands that make this music.

| #61: Uvalde Failure, Has This Taught Us The Truth About Police? | 31 May 2022 | 00:41:11 | |
This past week the country witnessed the shocking failure of police to act in the face of tragedy. However, there are numerous cases in history to show this isn't an aberration. It even goes all the way to the Supreme Court. In this episode we'll discuss these cases and also gun control policy suggestions. This will be uncomfortable to put it mildly. Let's hope we don't have to have anymore episodes like this one and we can go back to celebrating metal as this channel was intended for.

This week there were three controversies in the metal community all revolving around cancel culture. Each of the three were very different from each other and thus one was more justifiable than the other. In this episode I explain my philosophy on cancel culture, when I think it's good, when I think it goes too far, and why these incidents merit different responses.

This past Thursday I went to a killer death metal show. I saw Cognitive, Inoculation, and my favorite Hath. The next day I went to a Gojira and Deftones concert. The people I saw at this concert... I couldn't believe the way they behaved and dressed versus what I saw at the death metal show. Death metal has always seemed to me to be the more extreme genre of metal than the alternative/nu-metal style of the Deftones. And yet...

I definitely had strong feelings about it, but after reading the discourse I'm willing to consider it again. Let's Discuss it. Clarification: I should've made clear in the episode that Tim Lambesis' wife was in fact NOT murdered. The hitman he hired was actually an undercover cop which led to his arrest.
