Josh Barber of Idle Heirs joins me for Episode No. 218.

Mr. Barber is a son, a sibling, a husband, a bandmate, and a man of both vision and talent.

Josh and I talked about the process of writing the bones of Life Is Violence -- Idle Heirs' full-length release from 2025 -- in the Pacific Northwest, recording it in Norway, and the excitement surrounding their next project.

We also talked about a few of Josh's favorite albums, which were these:

Lateralus (2001), Tool

Glassjaw's Worship & Tribute (2002)

You Come Before You (2003), Poison the Well

Cult of Luna's Vertikal (2013)

Drown the Traitor Within (2019), Lorn
