Viewing Suicide & Mental Health from a Different Perspective; A UK Rock Band's Exploration in Music (A Rock & Metal Podcast)

Henrik from the English hard rock band Empyre joins the podcast today where you will discover:

- How "Forget Me" takes a new perspective look on a heavy topic like suicide, and allows us to be open to new ideas and perspectives on heavily emotional topics.

- Why they write their music with the idea to make you feel chills in your emotions.

- How their songs have deep meanings but can be open to individual interpretation based on their emotion.

If you are having suicidal thoughts, please call 988 for the suicide hotline, or visit https://988lifeline.org for help.
