Show Notes
David sat down with Chad Green of Frozen Soul at Milwaukee Metal Fest for this episode of Behind The Screams. Knowing his passion for Magic: The Gathering ahead of time, David brought his deck to have Chad rate it and suggest some improvements. They also get into some heavy topics and the connection between mental health, heavy music and the importance of having healthy outlets for when life gets challenging. We want to take a moment to acknowledge that October is National Depression and Mental Health Awareness Month in the United States and World Mental Health day is October 10. Having conversations like this one with Chad is so important to foster a stronger social approach to mental health and accepting those struggling with it. Thank you to Chad for being willing to open up with me and with everyone watching this episode of Behind The Screams.
