Does your band have a van? A bus? An 84 Oldsmobile? Our guess is yes. In which case, you’re hurting right now. And we don’t mean from banging your head. We’re talking about the pain at the pump. You don’t need to imagine what it’s like, about to head to a show, looking at the numbers going up and up on unleaded gasoline and wondering to yourself, “Why the f@&$ is this so expensive?!”

On this episode of METALOMICS, we try to answer that question. We’re digging deep on oil. What is it, why do we rely on foreign countries for it despite pumping plenty of it right here in the U.S., and why does literally everything else get more expensive when the price of oil goes up? If you think elasticity, supply and demand, and inflation are heavy concepts, then this is an episode you don’t wanna miss.

What is a market? How does it function? Can we forge a new understanding of market forces by exploring the ways human instinct and emotion influence the ways we create heavy music? Is it all merely the product of predictable, derivative, and formulaic mechanisms, or can the manners in which we conjure dark and dismal sounds also inform how markets react?

On this episode of METALOMICS, we ask if Adam Smith’s invisible hand wields a guitar pick when not stirring the gravity of the world’s markets. Join us as we merge the animal with the analytical, and invoke the untamed spirits frothing at the sight of knowledge to be devoured.

Artificial Intelligence: The ultimate "cheat code" or the death knell of human creativity? Welcome back to METALOMICS, the podcast where we prove that metal is more than a bunch of metalheads head banging to heavy music. Today, we unpack AI by exploring how it transcends heavy music and economics. We attempt to break down the realities of this widespread, misunderstood, global phenomena, by deconstructing the digital ghost in the machine. From the "deskilling" of the working class to the high-voltage hunger of global data centers, we’re looking at how Artificial Intelligence is challenging the way we create and experience music, exacting a heavy toll on the environment, and threatening the very few things that make us human.
