Heavy Pod Is Heavy Cast

Ryan is back! We talk about video games, movies, music, shows, all kinds of random stuff. As you can tell from the title, the topics include Zelda, but there's much more than just that. Am I keeping it vague because I want to make it mysterious, or because I don't remember every single thing we talked about in this trainwreck? You'll have to find out!

As the title says, we are back! Well, trying to be. There's a lot of new releases to cover, ranging from After the Burial, Wintersun, Fire-toolz, Lo!, Fires in the Distance, and more. Plus a lot of cool people stuff to talk about. Hope you enjoy the brand new regular podcast that will totally come out consistently!

Hey all! We're back to life! Snapped back to reality, there goes gravity etc. We wrap up on our favorite stuff from 2022. Note that this episode was recorded near the end of 2022, so we may have some takes that are outdated and/or cancellable, like praising certain games made by certain creators, or joking about the downfall of a certain legendary hip-hop artist who blamed certain groups of people. What's even better is that, we will have two more even older episodes posted soon! Enjoy!

As (not exactly) voted by our patrons, we have the Fear, And Loathing In Las Vegas deep dive! Arguably the most technical band out there, or definitely one of the most technical bands out there!

Heavy Pod Is Heavy Cast! This week, we talk about new music. Shocking, I know. I wish I didn't have to keep writing these episode descriptions. You know how hard it is to continue to be creative and passionate about writing blurbs about a conversation you recorded a day ago, 271 times? Not that hard, to be honest. But still, it isn't exactly fun. Anyway, for SEO purposes and to get you to click on the episode, here are some things we talk about: Unprocessed, Ithaca, Touccan, Blind Guardian, Fellowship, Fallujah, The Algorithm, Cynic, Soulfly, Psycroptic, and In Flames. You could say that, even though the world is In Flames, I have to Cynically keep writing these descriptions to appease The Algorithm, but if this text would remain Unprocessed, I could let my Soulfly free and not have to worry about it. Anyway, we also talk about the early access HoMaM love letter Songs of Conquest, Bullet Train, the Paradox Games Grand Campaign, and Breaking Bad and Better Show Than Breaki-I mean Better Call Saul.

Heavy Pod Is Heavy Cast! This week, we talk about some music, but also the responsibility of certain groups, like Asatru, which have some degree of overlap in iconography and ideology with various supremacist movements but claim to be against them; to examine their beliefs and how anyone can be a more responsible consumer of media. But yeah, also stuff like new music from Origin, Lamb of God (also funny discourse around this and bubbles in the metal scene), Greylotus, Conjurer, Sadist, Hyper Planet, and a bunch of other stuff. Then, cool people time with Weird West, Citizen Sleeper, Dune: Spice Wars, Everything Everywhere All At Once, and of course, The Boys Season 3 (spoilers!). Enjoy! Join our community on Facebook!

This week we have a very special treat! I got to interview one of my favorite artists, Karl Sanders himself of Nile. We talk about his upcoming solo record, Saurian Apocalypse, out on July 22nd. However, turns out we have a lot more in common, so we also talk about classic horror/sci-fi movies, his influences in Middle Eastern music and how he approaches that, his views on respecting cultural elements in his music, the responsibility of the artist to the listeners and more. Oh and also lizard people, ancient aliens, and his upcoming sci-fi novel about them. Enjoy! Join our community on Facebook!
