    S3 E4: Michael Bishop of GWAR

    On the Hardcore Humanism Podcast, we talk with artists who have overcome obstacles as they pursue their authentic life so that we can learn from their experience as we embark on our own purpose-driven journey. And one of the most challenging issues that we can face on this journey is how we understand and develop ourselves as individuals, as compared to how we understand and develop ourselves as being part of a community. Today we are talking with singer, songwriter, guitarist and music Ph.D. Dr. Michael Bishop – otherwise known as The Berserker Blothar of the heavy metal band GWAR. Loudwire has rated GWAR as one of the greatest heavy metal bands of all time. And recently, the premium streaming service Shudder announced that it has acquired the rights to global distribution of the documentary film about the band called This is GWAR which will go live July 21st.   During our conversation, Michael and I talk about one of the main themes of the This is GWAR movie, which is how the individual members of GWAR grappled with devoting themselves to the community that they developed while also trying to maintain a sense of themselves as individuals. Michael delves into how this struggle factored into his decision to leave GWAR and how he decided to eventually return to the band 20 years later.

    S3 E3: Max Cavalera of Cavalera Conspiracy

    What's up Hardcore Humans! Max Cavalera talks with Dr. Mike about the effect that hardcore punk had on his life, particularly the concept of straight edge on his path to sobriety.  Max also shares how his passion for music motivated him throughout his life. It motivated him as a fan of hardcore and heavy metal music to go see shows. It motivated him and his brother to form a band that helped spawn a new style of music when thrash was not yet an established genre. And they worked to develop their band in the early 1980’s without a record label, without a network or radio stations playing hardcore punk or metal, and even without a developed heavy metal or hardcore punk community in Brazil. It was that Do It Yourself approach of embracing these art forms and creating their space in it with others who share the same passion. And it is that DIY spirit that we are hoping people take away from these conversations to try to find who and what they love in their own life and build a sense of purpose and community around it.   *****  Hardcore Humanism Newsletter: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/GBmf0iU/HardcoreHumanismSignUp Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hardcorehumanism/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HardcoreHumanism/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/hardcorhumanism
