Is There a Connection Between Heavy Metal and Mental Health?

Soto: I think these ideas can certainly be taken in some very troubling ways. In addition to actually saying if we look at kind of the mechanics of what happens in the texts which are called mystical then that's actually a much more empirically based way to look at mysticism than kind of imagining these kind of supposedly pure visionary experiences. Soto is also really interested in wading into debates about kind of heavy metal and mental health but he says you've got to take all of these things with a pinch of salt.
