Silent Planet don’t hold back against Tim Pool who supports Phil Labonte’s take that therapy is for women

Silent Planet, an alternative metalcore band from California, has inadvertently entered the discussion around All That Remains singer Phil Labonte’s opinions on treatment, as per theprp. When Labonte continued to assert that therapy is worthless for guys earlier this month, he sparked a contentious debate. This 2024 Fox News opinion item was written by Labonte, who also made a living as a right-wing political pundit. In it, he asserted that men and boys’ social disengagement is a rising problem for contemporary society.

Lindsay Schoolcraft (formerly Cradle of Filth), a mental health advocate who incorporated her experiences overcoming trauma into her most recent CD, “Harrowing,” criticised Labonte’s remarks. Schoolcraft referred to Labonte’s position as “extreme toxic” last week and said that Labonte would require counselling. In a video statement posted on social media, Labonte responded, defending his position and scoffing at the criticism his views on therapy have drawn. Rock Feed adopted Labonte’s perspectives on male therapy. Right-wing political pundit Tim Pool, a friend and long-time colleague of Labonte, expressed his support for the publication’s social media post on Labonte’s beliefs. Pool stated:

therapy is not for men thats it

To which, Silent Planet responded:

I exclusively take mental health advice from podcasters who are afraid to take off their hats and are funded by Russia. by the way, just played some shows in Ukraine and it was great. met a man with his legs blown off by your beloved Russian army and he is still taller than you.

On X, Silent Planet’s response received mixed reviews. The band’s lead singer, Garrett Russell, even responded to direct criticism in the following exchange. The later post from Silent Planet appears to be related to the Tenet Media scandal of 2024. Silent Planet has a long history of activism and commentary with a focus on social justice and politics. The band most recently performed twice this month in Ukraine. The duo previously raised money for Ukrainian children impacted by the current Russian invasion of Ukraine with their 2025 song “Wick.”

it takes 5 seconds to google “tenet media” perhaps you should take a break with the gay obsession and join the rest of us in reality. good luck, vatnik— silentplanet (@SLNTPLNT) June 23, 2026
