Chord Progression Podcast: The Gateway to New Rock and Metal Music Chord Progression Podcast

There is a certain hallmark that we have found with the most successful bands out there. Do you know what it is? We will tell you.
That hallmark attribute is being able to make your art the way you want, and use it to drive the best and most genuine fan connection. You can find bands that will continue to grow in the industry if they have this quality. And do know one that has it.

Damon from Of Virtue returns to the Chord Progression Podcast once again in 2024. While out on the road with Imminence, we catch up from the van, talking about

Why the band takes that fan-first approach to their live shows, and the reason every other band should do the same.How Of Virtue inspires fans to defeat substance abuse through their music and openness in discussing the topic.The response to their latest album Omen from our previous conversation, and why this is a band you should be a fan of.

The fear of AI entering the music industry and completely changing the future of music to something less creative and more calculated is growing every day. Artists don't only have to compete for attention with each other, but now with an algorithm.
However, this conversation shows us the many reasons why AI will NEVER overtake an artist in the music industry. From their impact, their ability, and their personal desires, AI won't compete.

Jake and Joseph of the melodic metal band Witherfall rejoin the podcast for the first time in 3 years. This episode dives deep into

The current state of AI in music, how it works, and why so many people are afraid it is going to destroy the music industry.Joseph's take on it and providing the reason why AI will not destroy the industry, convincing Kevin and Jake in the process.A look into what Witherfall has been up to in the past 3 years, and their upcoming festival runs trying to win over black metal fans.

Metal's growing popularity over the past 5 years has been something to behold. Bring Me The Horizon is the most popular in the genre, Knocked Loose played Coachella, and Sleep Token is an international powerhouse. But why is that.
It is because metal is the most eclectic genre out there right now, allowing so many people to find a home in something within the genre. And this deathcore band is easily encapsulating.

Taylor Barber of Left To Suffer joins the Chord Progression Podcast today with a brand new album upcoming, and a continued growth in the music world. On this podcast, we dive deep into

Why metal is the most eclectic genre in music right now, and how that is fostering more bands bending genres and bringing new fans into the music.How Taylor and Left To Suffer are continuing to expand their sound and ability with the band new album Leap of Death.The reason Left To Suffer doesn't limit themselves to who they tour with, allowing them to expand their reach even further.

Technology has massively changed how musicians operate. Long gone are the days of just making the best music. Musicians need to have a brand, create music that is going to have a viral moment, ensure they have popularity on social media, and up to date on the latest trends.
But is that new relationship with technology hurting musicians creatively going forward? One band explored that frustration on their brand new album, and it comes from someone who has always been on the forefront of the social media landscape for music.

The one and only Lauren Babic of Red Handed Denial joins the Chord Progression Podcast to dive deep into the themes and sounds on the new album A Journey Through Virtual Dystopia (May 24th). On this episode, we get into it conversing about:

How technology's evolution and the prominence of Tik Tok have changed music creation, focusing on viral moments and what is popular.Why so many musicians are feeling burnt out thanks to reels, trying to stay on top of trends, and dealing with an identity crisis as they now have to do everything.A dive into A Journey Through Virtual Dystopia, and how Red Handed Denial took a lot of chances to rediscover their identity in the Tik Tok age.
