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

Who in the right mind would release a double album in 2024 when streaming, singles, and consistently feeding the machine are being recommended all based on "algorithms"?
We know one band that would, and is doing just that, based on the premonition that has seen rock, metal, and all subgenera boom in the 2020's. They are doing something new, uniquely them, and are not afraid of taking a risk on themselves.
Joseph and Boz from the post-hardcore band Capstan join the Chord Progression Podcast today! With the double album, The Mosaic, due out on May 24th, we dive deep into it by talking about:
How Capstan figured out what their sound is on their 3rd record, with a focus on connecting styles across and album, not just one song.Why they are releasing a double album in 2024, going against the current school of thought around a single-driven industry.Boz's take on why taking action on what Capstan wants to do with their sound is important, and will work based on successes of other bands in the 2020's.

One of, if not the, most influential bands of the 21st century in rock and metal is Linkin Park. The charisma, blend or hip hop with metal, and the beautiful use of synths have inspired bands for what is, and will be generations. But who is doing it right?
We know of an Italian metalcore band who decided to take their love of Linkin Park, infuse it into their bright style of metalcore, and discover their true sound out of it.

The guys from Median rejoin the podcast for the first time in 4 years! With a new album, Chapter Three, out now, we dive deep into discussion about:

How the band experimented with their shared love of Linkin Park in order to discover a sound that was for them, and still had their individual identities in it.The current state of the band's live set, why they haven't played many live shows, but understand the positive impact they need to focus on to make the best experience possible.Hippiecore, and what will happen if the band were to cover a song by Afroman.

The band's focus on positive mental health, and how they are taking their style of emo music to really create those positive messages.How the band is taking their message and actively supporting it, even offering tips on how to connect with others on mental health topics.Creating the band's sound from an emo base in the early 2000's and how their early success is not getting to their heads.

The world can be cruel to musicians. Cancelled shows, expensive tours, other responsibilities in life, can take the fun and enjoyment out of the love that is making music, and it can be tough to get it all back.
One Australian band went through the ringer in 2023, and is ready to take 2024 by storm because of one simple reason, they're having fun with their music again.
Jayden from Stepson returns to the Chord Progression Podcast for the first time in 3 years! On this fantastic episode, the guys talk all about:
The importance Stepson put on having fun with their music following cancelled tours, expensive travel, and a yearning to enjoy their favorite thing in life.Why Stepson amicably split with Sharptone Records to take their music back into their own hands, and do things their own way.What Stepson has in store with their new music for their 2nd album, and why it could be dropping, literally, at any time.

There is always a debate about unclean (scream) vocals in rock and metal. Are they good and amplify the song when they are primarily used? Are they bad and remove focus for the song? Is there a right answer?
There is no right answer, but we are seeing more bands using unclean screams rising in popularity in the scene, as well as popular culture as well. So when added tastefully, do unclean vocals really work?
Tanis from the Pennsylvania post-hardcore band Lives Lost joins the Chord Progression Podcast. On this episode, we dive deep into the music scene with Tenis by talking about:
Using screams & unclean vocals in music tastefully to maximize out on impact and overall success of a song, depending on if they are needed or not.Why rock & metal music is booming in the 2020's thanks to people wanting something new, fresh, and new bands delivering on that want.How the revolution in experimentation for rock & metal is currently working, and why fans are driving back to genres that were labeled "dead" 10 years ago.
A fantastic episode for a band and a way to talk about the current music scene. Hit the subscribe button to get to know more of the great bands growing in the new musical revolution in rock & metal.

Life, relationships, you, are not defined by one single moment. It is a conglomeration of those experiences that make us who we are, and allow beautiful friendships and relationships to prosper for a long time.
We found a band that is diving into the external extremes life puts us through, how it can bring us pain & anguish in life & relationships, but how it can also bring us a lot of joy at the exact same time.

Joe from the metal band Lightworker joins the Chord Progression Podcast with the brand new album, How the Beautiful decay, releasing on April 19th. On this album, we dive deep into:

The band's origin story and how relationships between people are not just defined by one moment, but many moments throughout time.Why the album How the Beautiful Decay dives deep into the external joys and pains that life will throw our way, and how our responses to those moments show ourselves who we are.How Joe's personal struggles with life's tough moments, and expressing them on the album, allow us to connect more deeply with the band, and ourselves as well.

A fantastic and powerful episode, from a great band. Discover more great new music like this by hitting the subscribe button.
