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 […]

Heavy Pod Is Heavy Cast! This episode we totally do not talk about Ukraine, Russia, or fascist music. Not at all.

I really wanted to call this “Ometh Deep Dive” right after the last one but that would be bad SEO. Also yes, we are posting two back to back episodes, hope you enjoy! This one is about After the Burial, which we are both already really familiar with and we both love the band, so […]
