Heavy Metal Philosophy - #75: I'm Anxious. Will the New Behemoth Album Be Good?
play

09/06/22 • 17 min

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!

Dr. Gray Barbas (my brother) came to visit me in the cabin in the woods. We sat down to talk about why we like to hunt, and what our philosophical and ethical opinions on the activity are. We talk about how when we were kids growing up I hated hunting and what changed my mind about it. And of course we talk a bit about our love of heavy metal!

I wanted to switch up the format a little bit this week. The show has been heavy on the philosophy and light on the metal so far. This week happened to be an eventful week in metal. We talk about all the new music and discoveries, plus my appreciation for metal twitter.

I finally got my copy of the 20th Anniversary Vinyl Edition of Opeth's BlackWater Park. I reflect on how that album changed my life forever, and how I had no choice in the matter. Then I tell two stories about two very different men with similar circumstances, but vastly different reputations. Then I show how their respective reputations effected how lucky they became.

Heavy Metal Philosophy - #001: What is Heavy Metal Philosophy?
play

05/03/21 • 10 min

Being a fan of a niche genre like extreme heavy metal can be a lonely experience. While everyone else is listening to pop and country, finding like minded people to share your passion with can be difficult. Couple that with being interested philosophies that are deeper than the surface level concerns of the general public, and you've got a recipe for isolation.
This show will seek to build a community to share our love of metal, and our interest in the darker and more powerful aspects of our nature.

Heavy Metal Philosophy - #019: What No One Is Saying About Afghanistan
play

08/24/21 • 32 min

When it comes to the withdrawal from Afghanistan everyone is talking about the Taliban takeover, what it means for the people left behind, and the wasted resources. But no one is talking about the people that knew beforehand, the architects of this disaster and what lies they are saying about the current situation.

Heavy Metal Philosophy - #013: This Is A Filler Episode Because I'm Moving

07/13/21 • 14 min

Due to moving, all of my equipment is packed up. I recorded this on my bootleg laptop. It will sound different but not bad. We did manage to make an episode with actual worthy content, but this is not the normal type of episode anyone should expect.
