Thom Hazaert & the state of Metal's mental health

The conversation continues with Thom Hazaert, acclaimed musician, author and writer as we explore the state and stigma of mental health in the metal community. Breaking the stigma of talking about our own mental health in the rock and roll scene still remains a challenge. While Thom and Larry differ from the view of their own personal experiences, they each agree that although 'spending time with a broken man' takes effort, it's worth it if it means one less brother or sister is lost to suicide. Metalheads and mental health are a topic held close to our battle vests and we explore ways to keep each other supported and ready to mosh.
