Summary
In episode 286 of Heavy Metal Philosophy, Jon Barbas does lyrical analysis of Green Carnation's "A Dark Poem" trilogy. This isn't just navel-gazing on my part, though; Stein Roger Sordal and Kjetil Nordhus from the band joined to expand on and/or correct my interpretations. We talk dark philosophy, loss, forgiveness, and dystopia. Join us!
