'I remember the drugs, I remember the booze, I just can't remember anything else.'
A new album from Teesside metal band Motions has been constructed to explore themes of addiction, suicide and other mental health struggles.
Frontman Jonny Grant believes the metal genre lends itself well to heavy topics, and provides a way to navigate troublesome feelings and find a form of catharsis. “A lot of the time, people who are going through a hard time aren’t able to talk about those issues,” he said. The band has partnered with a PR manager, Jon Jones, who also works as an ambassador with Recovery Connections.
Jon is a recovered addict himself, having struggled with cocaine and alcohol misuse for 22 years until finally getting clean in April 2023.
