How can a death metal band be this much fun and this brutal at the same time?! I had a chat with BAEST about using AC/DC riffs and trad metal to make their brand of groovy and crushingly heavy death metal, the most fun. Episode 230 of Heavy Metal Philosophy. Links in replies!

It's been instructive to compare the public reaction to Ozzy and Hulk Hogan's passing. One man's mistakes were nearly universally forgiven while the other was not and I think I know why. My latest column for Metal Digest. Link in replies.

Seeing the family devastated like that... Man that hurts. God bless them. 🙏 I can still hardly believe this.

When I was a kid, I thought the Osbourne's Reality TV show was blasphemous and ruined the legacy of Ozzy Osbourne. I was wrong. I was really wrong. I'll explain why on episode 229 of Heavy Metal Philosophy. Links in replies!

Being a full on hater in this moment is giving me a brief reprieve from my Ozzy grief.
24.07.2025 20:19 — 👍 4 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I just know that Sting is just way too good of a person to have anything negative to say... And probably has a bit of love for Hogan... But I'm not as good a person as Sting, so please Sting... Allow me to have all the schadenfreude on your behalf.

Hasbro has teamed up with Reigning Phoenix Music to launch a GI Joe (or Cobra rather) themed heavy metal band, Cold Slither. I asked the leader Gus (Zartan) how this happened and his thoughts on industry plants. Episode 228 of Heavy Metal Philosophy, links in replies!
