Psychic Warfare

Knox Colby of crossover thrash brutalizers Enforced joins Psychic Warfare for an absolutely jam packed, emotional, poignant, and in depth discussion on how his life was changed by the philosophy of Stoicism, how community is one of the most important foundations of human growth, and how he, and we, can come to the realization that we are all God. Knox also tells some incredibly personal stories about his confrontation with his own dark thoughts and how they found their way on Enforced's upcoming record, War Remains, and we talk about the philosophical implications of his lyrics on songs yet unheard from the new record.

Andrew Thorp King, author of Failure Rules: The 5 Rules of Failure for Entrepreneurs, Creatives, and Authentics, joins the show to talk about how failure can distill us down to our most authentic selves, the most important lessons of hardcore, how we can embrace our calling journey, how we can stop clinging to safety, and much more! I'm hoping to have more guests on the show who are philosophy authors and who also happen to be huge fans of heavy music, so I hope you all enjoy this twist of an episode and look forward to more in the future, and of course many more interviews with heavy music's most iconic artists!
