| 03 May 2021 | #001: What is Heavy Metal Philosophy? | 00:10:04 | |
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.

| 06 Sep 2021 | #021: Why Work? What Is The Value of Work? | 00:32:50 | |
It's Labor Day weekend and I've long pondered why we work past what is needed? Once Maslow's Hierarchy is fulfilled, why do we continue to work past that point?

First we'll talk about what a profound influence philosophically The Matrix was to me.

Just a few hours before recording this episode I got news that a coworker and friend had died this past weekend. Philosophy is all about perspective. I've thought about death and loss a lot.

| 28 Sep 2021 | #024: Rivers of Nihil The Work Review and Response to Twitter's Critiques. | 00:15:42 | |
This album has easily been one of my most anticipated releases of the year. The singles released prior to the album led me to believe it was going to be a very heavy album, however the album as a whole went in an entirely different direction that I wasn't expecting. I think heavy metal Twitter was also surprised and I saw a lot of complaints. Here are my thoughts on the album.

| 05 Oct 2021 | #025: The Art Of The Murder Ballad w Guest Sarah King | 00:29:21 | |
Sarah King inhabits the dark side of Americana, creating gritty murder ballads and feminist anthems anchored by her atmospheric voice and rhythmic blues guitar. Her music is for the lost and lonely, when the twist of a knife is what keeps the pain at bay, and a song can lead to redemption. Her debut EP The Hour, produced by Simone Felice and David Baron (The Lumineers, Jade Bird), marks her stunning arrival with "Nightstand" named 2020's #1 Best Song in Vermont by County Tracks. King's live show crackles with energy and devil-may-care attitude, earning her support slots for The Steel Woods and a place on 2021's Vermont Roots Roadshow.

Chris Barnes, the former singer for Cannibal Corpse and current front man of Six Feet Under tweeted a scathing tweet on the state of new death metal. Is he right?

Professor Stephan Kershnar has appeared on several podcasts and even written a book arguing that "Adult-Child Sex" isn't immoral. Mr Kershnar is a credentialed philosopher. I'm merely a hobbyist philosopher, but regardless I do believe the arguments I put forth in this video are sound logical refutations of his points.

Nobody in metal is doing this. You have to hear this. This band isn't for everybody, but they are doing something that isn't being done. They deserve a chance. They deserve respect. I break down why this album is so great, why you it might not be for you, and why that doesn't matter.

| 22 Feb 2022 | #46: Is Gatekeeping Good Actually? | 00:26:22 | |
We've all seen it. Some metal head has ridiculous standards that no one else can live up to nor would most people want to. We tell these people not to gate-keep. They're annoying. But do we need some minimal amount of gatekeeping to keep metal from being polluted? How much? Let's talk about it.

This week I had plans to either talk about Corpsegrinder's solo record or the philosophy behind Destiny 2: Witch Queen. Then Putin decided to invade Ukraine and I just don't feel I can talk about the stuff I'm enjoying when the people of Ukraine are suffering. How should a content creator handle a situation like this?

| 08 Mar 2022 | #48a: The Philosopher of Death, Is All Metal Music Existentialism? Part 1(David Burke Interview) | 00:48:09 | |
This is part one of the conversation I had with PhD candidate from Bath Spa University London, David Burke. David's thesis is that all metal regardless of sub-genre is a philosophy of existentialism that is obsessed with death. Further he believes metal is a response to post capitalism. We discuss, his theories, free will, absurd-ism, and metal's perfect perception of capitalism. And of course we talk about crushing bands!

| 15 Mar 2022 | #49: Ghost Splits The Metal Community? Tobias Forge Hates New Metal? | 00:11:57 | |
The new Ghost album, Impera, released on Friday and once again when Ghost releases music the community argues online. Some people love Ghost and some people hate them. Perhaps we got some insight into the creation of the music from an interview where Tobias Forge says he doesn't like new metal. Let's discuss this.

| 22 Mar 2022 | #50: Why Do Metalheads Love Lovecraftian, Eldritch, Cosmic Horror? | 00:18:19 | |
Metal-heads are often very different from each other. Many prefer different sub-genres, styles, and even politics. But there are some things that almost all metal-heads love. Lovecraftian Horror is one and I think there is a distinct philosophical reason for that. Let's discuss it on this week's episode of Heavy Metal Philosophy!

I listened to Meshuggah Immutable all weekend long and while I love what they've done here it didn't do for me what some of their past records have done. In this episode I will tell what my favorite Meshuggah album is but also heap praise on this record for what they were able to pull off.

This week As I Lay Dying announced a summer tour with Whitechapel and Shadows of Intent. This caused a bit of controversy in the metal fan community. 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.

James reached out to me and said he was studying to be a chaplain with a focus on spirituality and metal. I came at the interview with the idea that I was going to question him on if that was compatible, but after the first few sentences I realized I had read him all wrong.

After seeing the data from the Billboard charts on Machine Gun Kelly's success, and the relative success of Meshuggah's latest album... I did some reflecting on our culture. Plus there was a surprise breakout band that also beat Meshuggah that really surprised me. Let's discuss what this means philosophically.

This weekend I saw Behemoth, Arch Enemy, Napalm Death, and Unto Others in concert. All four acts were wildly different. Is that good for concerts? Or is it better for the acts to be similar?

There are other bands in the archives that are far heavier. Plus we celebrate Heavy Metal Philosophy's 1 Year Anniversary. I have plans. Allow me to share them with you.

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...

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 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.

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.

This week we do a deep dive on Gojira's debut album, Terra Icognita.

Most bands eventually grow into deeper meanings, but Gojira was there right from the start. Let's examine the album together!

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.

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 grew up in a fundamentalist Christian family. There was a lot of music and entertainment that I wasn't allowed to consume.

I inadvertently started a Twitter thread where metalheads kept sending me pictures and stories about their spouses. It was one of the cutest and most wholesome Twitter experiences I've ever had.

| 04 Oct 2022 | #80: Should Legendary Bands Stop Making New Albums and Only Tour? | 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!

I listened to the new album, Trinity, from The Gloom in the Corner. I was curious about the artistic choices that go into making an album that's telling a cinematic story. I wondered how they could play these songs live. Thankfully, Mikey Arthur was kind enough to sit down with me and answer my questions. Want to hear an epic story with heavy break downs?

I sat down with former CKY singer Deron Miller to talk about his new band 96 Bitter Beings and their latest album, Synergy Restored.

| 08 Nov 2022 | #85: Is Dream Unending The Most Positive Band in Doom Metal? | 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.

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.

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.
