In episode 241 of Heavy Metal Philosophy, Jon Barbas responds to Andrew Lee's video essay titled "How Heavy Metal Upholds White Supremacy." As an Asian metalhead growing up in the deep south of America, a lot of what Andrew pointed out resonated with me, but some of my experiences were different than his. Those difference might be illuminating. Join in on the conversation!

In episode 240 of Heavy Metal Philosophy, Jon Barbas sits down with Tommy T. Baron of Coroner to discuss their triumphant return after thirty years! Coroner was considered one of the most technical and progressive thrash metal bands of the late 80s and early 90s before going on hiatus. After reuniting in 2011, the band still took another 10 years to release another record, and it's finally upon us! Join us as we chat about what took so long and what lengths the band went to in order to still sound fresh today!

In episode 239 of Heavy Metal Philosophy, Jon Barbas recounts one of his favorite memories covering heavy metal shows. While covering a Behemoth and Arch Enemy show, a local Atlanta band called Silly Goose crashed the party and demanded to be heard. Now three years later they have a record deal, big tours, and a Grammy nominated producer who recorded their latest album 'Keys To the City'. Join us as we chat with Silly Goose about their gimmick and how it paid off.

In episode 234 of Heavy Metal Philosophy, Jon Barbas compares the tour earnings of the now X-Cradle of Filth band members to Tank The Tech's YouTube revenue and his own. Zoe Federoff and Ashok recently posted their contracts online detailing their pay. Tank the Tech has also revealed how much revenue he has earned. Perhaps a comparison of our different earnings in the music business might help people judge these sorts of situations. Join me and see, and let me know what you think!

In episode 233 of Heavy Metal Philosophy, Jon Barbas reacts and responds to Jonny Hawkins of Nothing More defending their use of generative AI on their latest music video. Jonny appeared on Rock Feed to make his arguments. I have agreements and disagreements here that people should consider. It's important to say, this isn't a dunking episode. I'm a fan of Nothing More and Rock Feed. I wish them nothing but good things, this is merely a philosophical disagreement. Join us and let us know what you think? Who's right in this one and what did we miss?
