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

    #191: Sabrina From Seven Kingdoms Teaches Me About Power Metal
    Nov 5 2024
    In episode 191 of Heavy Metal Philosophy, Jon Barbas chats with Sabrina from the power metal band Seven Kingdoms. As a long-time death metal freak, I am new to power metal. Seven Kingdoms and their more personal brand of the genre stood out, and so I wanted to chat with them about their take on power metal. You'll definitely want to hear her voice and unique southern story.

  • #187: The Culture War Is Ruining Metal!

    #187: The Culture War Is Ruining Metal!
    Oct 8 2024
    In episode 187 of Heavy Metal Philosophy, Jon Barbas is frustrated by the injection of culture war figures into a charity metal festival. Shell Shock was meant to raise money for veterans, first responders, and others suffering from PTSD. However, the organizer booked Kyle Rittenhouse for the event, and several bands canceled their performances. Now the event is known more for controversy and antagonistic behavior from the two sides, rather than for helping people as intended. Let's discuss the issue together!
