The new Sinsaenum record, In Devastation, is out this Friday on earMUSIC. Frederic talks about not wanting to be known as just a power metal bassist and how that led to the idea of writing heavier songs, his relationship with Joey Jordinson and how that was the catalyst for Sinsaenum, channeling pain into something more joyful on In Devastation, being a part of Creator and their legacy, and a lot more. https://ear-music.shop/products/section/SinsaenumDiscordPatreonSubstackEmail: asthestorygrows@gmail.comChapter 635 Music:Sinsaenum - "In Devastation"Sinsaenum - "Army Of Chaos"Sinsaenum - "Last Goodbye"

When cultural fusion meets metal's raw power, something magical happens. That's exactly what we experienced witnessing BABYMETAL and BLOODYWOOD share a stage at Mohegan Arena—a concert that showcased the global evolution of heavy metal and left us breathless despite some venue challenges.BLOODYWOOD exploded onto the stage with their unique blend of traditional Indian instrumentation and modern metal, immediately converting new listeners with their wall of sound approach. Since their beginnings covering metal classics on YouTube in 2016-2018, they've developed into a powerhouse combining bhangra rhythms, hindi drums, and crushing guitars. What makes them truly special isn't just their musical innovation, but their dedication to social causes—using their platform to speak against sexual assault, raise funds for mental health services in India, and support animal welfare. Their song "Ari Ari," transforming a traditional wedding song into a metal anthem, perfectly encapsulates their genius for cultural fusion.BABYMETAL followed with a performance showcasing their evolution from kawaii metal teens to commanding women owning the stage. Their elaborate mythology-driven introduction set the stage for precision choreography, powerful vocals, and a masterclass in theatrical metal. The backing band delivered incredible instrumental skill, particularly during spotlight moments for guitar and drums. Classic hits like "Gimme Chocolate" and "Headbanger" demonstrated why metal legends from Judas Priest to Metallica have embraced them. The highlight? Seeing both groups perform their collaboration "Bekhauf" together—a rare moment where Japanese kawaii metal and Indian folk metal created something entirely new.Despite bass-heavy acoustics challenges that sometimes overwhelmed the arena, both bands demonstrated professional resilience by adjusting their sound and maintaining phenomenal energy throughout. This concert wasn't just entertainment—it was a glimpse into metal's exciting future as a vehicle for cultural exchange and shared energy across continents.

In episode 213 of Heavy Metal Philosophy, Jon Barbas is joined by Sofia Frasz of symphonic blackened power metal band, Exiled Hope. Sofia is currently in law school studying to be a music attorney. I was curious to know why someone who is trained to know how predatory the music industry can be would want to make music herself. Once we got to talking about the new Exiled Hope album, Apocrypha, the subject of free will versus determinism came up. Her characters and music brought whole new questions to this age old debate.

There perhaps has never been a more uplifting power metal band than rising UK quartet Fellowship, and perhaps no more uplifting interview than this one with Fellowship's vocalist Matthew Corry. Matt and I sat down for an incredible chat about the concept of "Death of the Author," how essential it is to be authentic and what that means, how anger is a useless and obsolete emotion to feel, and so, so much more. I left this talk feeling emotionally and spiritually brighter, and I have a feeling you will too. Check out Fellowship's newest album, "The Skies Above Eternity," out now!

This week, we start a new series all about appreciating the shredded, gravelly, gritty, raspy pipes and throats of rock n' roll. We are focusing on lead singers who crafted truly special tones with their sandpapered delivery. Join us in celebrating these unique sets of pipes that set them apart from all the others. Anyone can scream, but only a few deliver gravel, grit & glory!What's this InObscuria thing?

EP 601 Discussing Current Metal News

EP 601 Discussing Current Metal News

Donald Trump loves mining, and he would like to expand that effort in the U.S. At least one environmentalist agrees with him, to some extent: the journalist Vince Beiser. Beiser's recent book is called “Power Metal,” and it's about the rare-earth metals that power almost every electronic device and sustainable technology we use today. “A lot of people really hate it when I say this, a lot of environmentally minded folks, but I do believe we should be open to allowing more mining to happen in the United States,” he tells Elizabeth Kolbert, herself an environmental journalist of great renown. “Mining is inherently destructive, there's no getting around it, but . . . we have absolutely got to get our hands on more of these metals in order to pull off the energy transition. There's just no way to build all the E.V.s and solar panels and all the rest of it without some amount of mining.” At least in the U.S. or Canada, Beiser says, there are higher standards of safety than in many other countries. 

Award winning journalist and author, Vince Beiser, joins us again to talk about his new book; Power Metal: The Race for the Resources that will Shape the Future. The energy transition consumes immense amounts of critical metals and minerals. What are the trade-offs being made in mining and processing them? How and where is recycling of these metals ongoing? What are the human stories and impacts behind this enormous industry and what might the solutions be to make the transition more sustainable and achievable? Vince's book is out and available in all good book stores and published by Penguin Random House.
