Metal Poetry: Nihilism and the Lyrics of Mudvayne/ System Of A Down/ Meshuggah/ Slipknot/ Machine Head
In this episode we look at Heavy Metal music as artistic expression and a cultural phenomenon in relation to Nihilism. We look at the contradictions of Nihilism, the emotional profile and related perspectives of Nihilism and even go far enough to see Nihilism turn full circle into a positive experience of life.
