This is the videorecording of our regularly scheduled Classic Metal Class, where metalheads-from-childhood Scott Tarulli and Greg Sadler delve into topics at the intersection of music history, philosophy, sociology, music theory, and other fields. Class is held monthly, depending on scheduling. You can find out when the class is scheduled by going to the ReasonIO events calendar, or following Greg in social media

In this session we interview our friend and colleague, Rob Colter, who is both a metalhead and chair of the department of Philosophy and Religious Studies at University of Wyoming. He recently designed and taught an academic class "Heavy Metal Philosophy"

The course description runs as follows: "Philosophy through, about, and in Metal music and other heavy music. Two key questions will be at play throughout the class. First, in a thoroughly Socratic mode, What is Metal?; second, can Metal or “being a metalhead” be considered a Philosophy of Life? In considering these questions, we will consider a number of other aspects of Metal music and culture"
