17 JUN 2025 · In episode 223 of Heavy Metal Philosophy, Jon Barbas got an early preview of the upcoming Cryptopsy album 'An Insatiable Violence'. After analyzing the lyrics I got a chance to run my interpretations by lead singer, Matt McGachy. Instead of normal slasher and zombie death metal, Cryptopsy have made a death metal record about the worst parts of the Internet.Â

10 JUN 2025 · In episode 222 of Heavy Metal Philosophy, Jon Barbas recounts his experience at Metallica's June 3rd, 2025 concert in Atlanta's Mercedes Benz Stadium. With Pantera and Suicidal Tendencies on the bill, we were super excited for the show, but the Atlanta crowd and the venue really let me down. The bands were great, but a rare miss for Atlanta that night. Join me for the story, and let me know if your experience was different in Atlanta or at another Metallica concert in another city.

Then, we dive into the themes and philosophies of the music on their upcoming self-titled album. I came away from this conversation with a much clearer insight into the philosophy of Rivers of Nihil.

13 MAY 2025 · In episode 218 of Heavy Metal Philosophy, Jon Barbas analyzes the ideas and themes on Sleep Token's new album, Even in Arcadia. Sleep Token lyrics often have dual meaning and the music behind them can teach us which emotional interpretation is correct. From the biblical allusions, Greek allegories, and of course the sexual nature of the songs... this is part two of The Philosophy of Sleep Token!
