Occupy The Void with Xtina

This week’s episode features Kyle from Canadian deathcore band Brand of Sacrifice, Sean from Australian metal band Make Them Suffer and Sam from British band Asking Alexandria, interviewed at Knotfest and Good Things Festival in Sydney, Australia.

The three-part conversation delves into the stigma surrounding male mental health in the music scene, personal experiences with addiction and the impact of sobriety on emotional regulation and creative expression. We also reflect on how therapy can help reconnect you with your inner voice and provide moral clarity.

The discussion also touches on the role of music in addressing mental health issues, the community aspect of the music industry, and the responsibility artists have in using their platform to raise awareness and support.
