A baby named Mason cried constantly. Lullabies, rocking, white noise—nothing helped.
Then one day a Metallica concert video played… and he instantly calmed down.
Mason, who has cerebral palsy, was soothed by heavy metal.
So his dad, Richard McDeid, embraced it. What started as a way to calm his son turned into a tradition—over 1,200 metal concerts together across the U.S.
For Mason, the loud music isn’t chaos. It’s comfort. It’s freedom.And for his dad, it’s love at full volume.
