#193: Defeated Sanity Make Me Question Time and Linear Thinking.

Episode 193

Tuesday, November 19, 2024 • Duration 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!

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!

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.

#87: An Epic Fantasy World w Thrash Metal Music? High Command Interview

Episode 87

Tuesday, November 22, 2022 • Duration 30:20

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.
