This episode, we're joined by Marc Lopes — powerhouse heavy metal vocalist known for his work with Metal Church, Ross the Boss, and Let Us Prey.

We dig into Marc's path through the underground and professional metal worlds — from paying dues, finding his voice, and surviving the realities of the modern music industry, to what it actually takes to keep heavy music alive in an era dominated by algorithms and trends.

But this is The Big Truth, so it doesn't stop at music.

Marc and I also veer off into:

· Control structures within the music industry

· Gatekeepers, narratives, and who really decides what rises

· The fine line between art, rebellion, and manipulation

· Why questioning authority isn't optional — it's essential

This is a raw conversation about music, truth, independence, and staying dangerous in a world that rewards conformity.

If you're into heavy metal, underground culture, or questioning the systems behind the curtain — this one's for you.

· Heavy metal roots & influences

· Life inside touring bands

· The changing music industry

· Authenticity vs. industry pressure

· Conspiracy, power, and cultural control

· Why metal still matters

Nothing here is presented as fact — this show exists to question, explore, and encourage critical thinking. Do your own research. Draw your own conclusions.

And remember — question everything.

In this explosive episode, paranormal researcher and religious demonologist Nathaniel Gillis joins the show to break down one of the most controversial theories in the entire UFO community:

Are "aliens" actually ancient, non-human intelligences — the same entities our ancestors called demons?

Gillis reveals his research into possession cases, sigils, abductions, shadow beings, implants, and interdimensional entities that appear to operate under the same patterns across history. We discuss:

Why modern UFO encounters mirror ancient demonic encounters

The parasitic intelligence behind hauntings and abductions

Why these beings may not be extraterrestrial, but extra-dimensional

Ritual technology, sigils, and the symbols found on abductees

How NASA, mythology, and demonology all connect

Why this "one intelligence, many masks" theory is gaining traction fast

What these entities ultimately want from humanity

If you're interested in UFOs, demonology, paranormal research, hidden history, or the nature of non-human intelligence… this is the episode you can't afford to miss.
