Jon recently interviewed both Chuck Billy and Alex Skolnick of Testament and Metal Allegiance. In those two interviews, obviously similar questions were asked, even though they were both on for different reasons. The result is an interesting contrast in their experiences. Chuck tells a fond memory of Dio and Alex tells a fond memory of playing with Ozzy Osbourne.

Their upcoming album, Colossal, is a pretty big change in sound for the band.

We both express how important Rivers of Nihil's 'The Work' was to us personally and then weigh in on the spirituality of work. 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.

What led to this significant change in one of metal's most beloved groups? We’ll explore various angles, including past interviews from Brent Hinds, Brann Dailor, and Bill Kelliher. Also Brent Hinds silently updated his Instagram which is a giant clue! We aim to uncover the reasons behind this departure and what it means for both Brent and Mastodon.

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.

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!<br /><br />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!<br /><br />Lions at the Gate Contact;<br />https://www.youtube.com/c/LionsAtTheGate<br />https://latgofficial.com/ <br />https://www.instagram.com/lionsatthegate/<br />https://www.tiktok.com/@UCJV74X_1EKF7EqDVrn7YoKA <br />https://www.facebook.com/groups/339255464301563<br />https://twitter.com/lionsatthegate<br /><br />Heavy Metal Philosophy Contact;<br />YouTube: https://youtube.com/@heavymetalphilosophy<br />https://www.spreaker.com/show/heavy-metal-philosophy<br />HeavyMetalPhilosophy@gmail.com<br />https://mobile.twitter.com/heaviestdoyen<br />https://www.facebook.com/HeaviestDoyen<br />https://www.instagram.com/heavy_metal_philosophy/<br />https://www.threads.net/@heavy_metal_philosophy<br />https://bsky.app/profile/jonbarbas.bsky.social <br /><br />Metal Digest articles link;<br />https://metal-digest.com/author/jon-barbas/<br /><br />#metal #lacunacoi #fearfactory #lionsatthegate #metalcore #industrialmetal #symphonicmetal #tour #friends #concertphotography]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>1390</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>fearfactory,goth,gothicmetal,heavymetal,industrialmetal,lacunacoil,lionsatthegate,metal,metalcore,symphonicmetal,tour</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>true</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/76b6057b189f8fbbf6887ea2f32f4134.jpg"/><itunes:episode>136</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>#135: Sarah King Breaks Down Money She Makes On Tour, Merch Cuts, Live Nation</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/135-sarah-king-breaks-down-money-she-makes-on-tour-merch-cuts-live-nation--57264017</link><description><![CDATA[On episode 135 of Heavy Metal Philosophy we have an exclusive interview!

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.<br /><br />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. <br /><br />Heavy Metal Philosophy Contact;<br />YouTube: https://youtube.com/@heavymetalphilosophy<br />https://www.spreaker.com/show/heavy-metal-philosophy<br />HeavyMetalPhilosophy@gmail.com<br />https://mobile.twitter.com/heaviestdoyen<br />https://www.facebook.com/HeaviestDoyen<br />https://www.instagram.com/heavy_metal_philosophy/<br /><br />Metal Digest articles link;<br />https://metal-digest.com/author/jon-barbas/<br /><br />#metal #rap #rapmetal #numetal #incendiary #hardcore #musicanalysis]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/53965665</guid><pubDate>Tue, 23 May 2023 10:45:02 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/53965665/audio_only_ep_114_rap_metal_sucks_incendiary.mp3" length="19847671" type="audio/mpeg"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/sounder/88d1f445-e0f7-4c2a-bd4e-3c3964d395c8/88d1f445-e0f7-4c2a-bd4e-3c3964d395c8.srt" type="application/x-subrip" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/sounder/88d1f445-e0f7-4c2a-bd4e-3c3964d395c8/88d1f445-e0f7-4c2a-bd4e-3c3964d395c8.txt" type="text/plain" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/sounder/88d1f445-e0f7-4c2a-bd4e-3c3964d395c8/88d1f445-e0f7-4c2a-bd4e-3c3964d395c8.vtt" type="text/vtt" language="en"/><itunes:author>Jon Barbas</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>In episode #:114 of Heavy Metal Philosophy, we explore why rap metal has become a widely criticized and often ridiculed genre.

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.<br /><br />Sarah King Contact;<br /><a href="https://sarahkingsings.com/contact" rel="noopener">https://sarahkingsings.com/contact</a><br /><a href="https://twitter.com/sarahkingsings?lang=en" rel="noopener">https://twitter.com/sarahkingsings?lang=en</a><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/sarahkingsings/?hl=en" rel="noopener">https://www.instagram.com/sarahkingsings/?hl=en</a><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/sarahkingsingsofficial" rel="noopener">https://www.facebook.com/sarahkingsingsofficial</a><br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/SarahKingSings" rel="noopener">https://www.youtube.com/c/SarahKingSings</a><br /><br />Heavy Metal Philosophy Contact;<br /><a href="https://www.spreaker.com/show/heavy-metal-philosophy" rel="noopener">https://www.spreaker.com/show/heavy-metal-philosophy</a><br /><a href="mailto:HeavyMetalPhilosophy@gmail.com">HeavyMetalPhilosophy@gmail.com</a><br />Twitter: @heaviestdoyen<br />Facebook: @heaviestdoyen<br />Instagram: @heavy_metal_philosophy]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/46808272</guid><pubDate>Tue, 05 Oct 2021 10:45:12 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/46808272/ep25_audio_only_episode.mp3" length="28162969" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Jon Barbas</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Sarah King inhabits the dark side of Americana, creating gritty murder ballads and feminist anthems anchored by her atmospheric voice and rhythmic blues guitar.
