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.

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!

Episode 173 of Heavy Metal Philosophy! I've been saying the past few years that we're living in a death metal renaissance! Well, don't take my word for it. I talked to one of the bands in the vanguard of this movement, Tombstoner. I had a few beverages with the band while they gave me first-hand accounts of today's scene. It may have gone off the rails several times, but it was fun when it did. You'll see.

On episode 168 of Heavy Metal Philosophy, I peek out of my death metal bubble. This week there will be a new Bad Omens album released called Concrete Jungle (OST), and I figured it was the perfect time to take a first listen to their catalog. What I discovered blew me away. I was expecting something like Sleep Token or Bring Me the Horizon, but they've taken their brand of metalcore to a totally different place. Join me as I walk you through my analysis!

On episode 136 of Heavy Metal Philosophy, I'll tell you the story of how I met Stephen Brewer on tour with one of my old bands over ten years ago. We kept in touch over the years and I got to see him achieve massive success and some set backs. Now he's in a killer new band, Lions at the Gate and achieving success again!

I got to catch up with him on tour with his new band and Fear Factory and Lacuna Coil. I was so happy to see my friend again after so many years and I was so proud to see him doing well. Check out some of the concert photography I took at the show and hear my review of the concert! From the haunting melodies of Lacuna Coil to the aggressive riffs of Fear Factory, and the fresh energy of Lions at the Gate, this tour promises to be a feast for all metalheads!

On episode 134 of Heavy Metal Philosophy, prepare to have your speakers tested. We dive into one of the heaviest songs on my playlist - a masterpiece by Overthrow. I got to chat with the masterminds of the band about their crushing song and the change in direction they've take from their last album to their upcoming EP, 'Ascension of the Entombed'. The song that blew me away is a thrashy death metal, but their new EP is more blackened death metal. Why did they do that? Well they told me, plus we talk a little philosophy too. Check it out!

On episode 122 of Heavy Metal Philosophy we'll unpack the arguments made by Finn Mckenty about djent killing metal. Finn made a tweet claiming that djent killed metal and there aren't any larger than life rock stars anymore. He oddly held up Fred Durst as an example. He then went on to lament that bands are generic and don't want to offend anyone.

After a bit of controversy on twitter Finn Mckenty went on to make a YouTube video explaining his position in more nuanced detail. In this video he made some interesting points. Some of them are correct despite what metal twitter might say, and some I have some serious disagreements with. We'll cover it all on Heavy Metal Philosophy!

In episode #:114 of Heavy Metal Philosophy, we explore why rap metal has become a widely criticized and often ridiculed genre. From its origins in the late 90s with Nu-Metal to its current state with bands like Hollywood Undead, we analyze the elements that make most rap-metal bands unbearable to listen to. However, we also introduce you to a band that defies all the negative stereotypes and stands out as a true gem in the genre. Whether you're a fan of rap metal or not, this episode will introduce you to a band that deserves your attention.

I'll detail exactly what's holding back rap metal from being great through a thorough analysis of the music, lyrics, and performances. I also acknowledge that music is subjective, and what doesn't work for me may work for others. Therefore, I invite you to share your thoughts and opinions in the comments section and engage in a respectful and constructive conversation about rap metal.

The lead singer of Falling in Reverse, Ronnie Radke, has been getting into a lot of beefs lately. He beefed with Sebastian Bach. He beefed with the front-man of Attila. He's even beefed with YouTube critic Anthony Fantano! However, none of these are the reason I want to fight Ronnie. There's another reason why I want to fight him that has nothing to do with anger. I don't dislike him at all. In fact, I even respect the hustle! Still I would like to challenge him to a boxing match at the next Creator Clash! Tune in to the 100th episode of the Heavy Metal Philosophy podcast to find out why I want to fight this man!

My name is Jon Barbas, and I'm a music critic. As a music critic, I've learned a lot of valuable lessons. I've heard it all - the good and bad advice, the trends that come and go, the highs and lows. I want to share those experiences with you, to help you make educated decisions about what reviews are good.

People say that reviews are just someone's subjective opinion. That's obviously true, but that's the good part. Opinion is what you want. But there's another part of the analysis we should also consider. That's what we'll cover on episode 98 of the Heavy Metal Philosophy Podcast.

When I first heard Lux Æterna I was excited about the new Metallica album, 72 Seasons. But now that I've heard their latest single, Screaming Suicide, I'm worried. I want this album to be good because I love Metallica so much! One song's vibe and direction are no big deal, but if they all sound like this? Let's discuss our hopes and fears about 72 Seasons on episode 97 of the podcast!

After hearing Arch Enemy for the first time it broke down my preconceived notions about Death Metal. These vocalists aren't good for females. They are good and ALSO female. These singers rank right up there with all the male vocalists that all the big YouTubers make reaction videos about. We'll be exploring bands like Entheos, 1000 Odios, Alekhine's Gun, Castrator and more. We'll run the gamut from brutal death metal to melodic death metal. Let's celebrate these women!

In anticipation of Metallica's new album, 72 Seasons, I'm revisiting my philosophy of metal bands series. When we last left off I had analyzed Ride the Lightning. The next album on the list is Master of Puppets. This is when Metalica peaked at their first era before pivoting on And Justice for All. I'll evaluate the less obvious meanings behind each song on the album. From Battery to Sanitarium; from Orion to Damage Inc. I'll leave no stone unturned.
