  Hardcore Band No Cure Breaks Down New Album "It Is Going To Get Dark" & Appealing to New Fans Live 14.07.2026 29分

  Hardcore music is still having its moment in the 2020's with artists like Knocked Loose, Kublai Khan, Alpha Wolf, and thrown continuing to grow, play in front of larger crowds, and even break through into the mainstream. Yes; the quality of the music has a lot to do with it. But what else is heping that breakthrough, is connecting with audiences outside of the hardcore genre.That isnt an easy thing, given the stigmas and characterizations hardcore bands have in their live shows, their energy, and overall aggressive sound. But if a hardcore band can play in front of a different audience, cater their live set to introduce a crowd to their sound, and succeed, you have a winner. This is one of those cases.Blaythe from the Alabama hardcore band No Cure joins the Chord Progression Podcast as the band releases their new album "It Is Going To Get Dark" out now. On this episode, we talk about:- Writing "It Is Going To Get Dark" and being more interested in exploring in depth, what the real sound No Cure truly has, compared to honing in on a specific sound and topic on something like an EP or a demo.- Touring with Cattle Decapitation, and understanding how a live show build and presentation can help any artist win over fans of a different genre.- The importance of having fun with the music, not regretting the safety of holding back later on in life.Gotta bring you some great hardcore music, or we aren't doing our jobs right.

  How The Wise Man's Fear Created "Apocrypha" as DLC to "Castle in the Clouds": Nostalgia vs Retconing 07.07.2026 1時間 4分

  When you have a band with a sound that you loved of their's from the past, what are your thoughts when they release new music that is a deviation from that original album you fell in love with? Are you open to seeing where the sound will expand to? Or are you resistant to change and want them to stick with the sound that made the artist "pop"?2015, everyone wanted sounds to be classified and segmented, without a deviation from the norm. 2026, experimentation and exploration in music writing is welcome and championed. So, if an artist were to go back to their original album and add on to it, what would happen?The guys from the fantasy metalcore band The Wise Man's Fear join the Chord Progression Podcast right after releasing their most recent EP, "Apocrypha" on June 26th, 2026. Join us for this episode as we dive into:- "Apocrypha," why it is an extension onto "Castle in the Clouds" and how they balanced nostalgia of their older sound, while embracing their new skills and influences in songwriting.- Figuring out where that line is between nostalgic songwriting and retconing an old idea with new material, while maintaining a consistent story throughline in the music's lore.- Using the live show to inform and guide what they want to do next with their music, not following some Tik Tok trend or pursuing algorithmic results.Plenty of great conversation and music wrapped up in this one.

  German Power Metal Band Dominum on New Album “Night Is Calling”: Unpredictable Zombie Power Metal 30.06.2026 34分

  In a new world where AI seems to be trying to take any job from anyone, and where uniqueness in rock & emtal music is being celebrated and promoted, it gives the artists a chance to still be unpredictable and become something that AI can't replicate.So if a metal band from Germany that was created with inspiration from zombie movies, video games, and TV shows wanted to try something new with their sound compared to their first two album, now would be the time to do it. There is no way AI could replicate that.Felix from the German power metal band Dominum joins the Chord Progression Podcast as the band is set to release their 3rd album "Night is Calling" on July 3rd. Join us as we dive deep into:- The difference in sound Dominum created on "Night is Calling" compared to their previous 2 albums, and how being able to test ideas out in a live seting helped create their most eclectic sound & album story to date.- How releasing the singles disproved any anxiety that more experimentation with their metal sound would not be received well, as all singles have been accepted by old & new fans for their unpredictability.- Reasoning why you should put down your phone to avoid surface level dopamine rushes, & embrace the real authentic connection with the moment on a deeper level.This episode is insanely heavy and fun for 30 minutes, perfect for what this album is.

  Chris Kelly of Hillhaven: Why "Dead Doesn't Hurt" & The Cyclical Nature of Music Genre Comebacks 25.06.2026 1時間 7分

  Since the resurrgence of rock and metal back into the mainstream since 2020, we have seen a massive amount of experimentation in the genres. But one thing we are seeing is a large number of bands find common influences in the style of nu metal.Music is cyclical, where genres that were once popular are making their return, influencing modern bands to create a new & evolved sound. Has this happened in the past? Will this happen in the future? Will the internet be a great catalyst of all of this? Yes.Chris Kelly from the metalcore band Hillhaven joins the Chord Progresion Podcast with more new music out, including the newest single "Dead Doesn't Hurt" out now. On this episode, we talk about:- The update from Hillhaven since 2024, why the lineup is now stabilized following the depatrue of other members due to other band commitments, and what will happen with upcoming live shows.- Cyclical nature of trends and music, analyizing why nu metal has resurged in popularity in both metalcore & modern metal, as well as why emo, pop punk, and butt rock influences of the 2000's very likely are next.- "Dead Doesn't Hurt" and the message of betrayal at the heart of the song, coupled with forgiving in order to move on so dead moments and emotions no longer hurt you.Both insightful and deep, just the way we like these conversations.

  Your Deep Dive into Siamese's New Album "dissolution": How To Write Music Free of Outside Pressure 23.06.2026 54分

  Musicians and artists, especially early on, have to deal with two major factors that could derail their creative mentality. Those factors being the pressures to make the project financially successful, as well as mentally being able to process negativity on social media. Success in handling these two factors can lead a band to success. Failure, could destroy the project.Success means finding happiness and a free flowing nature in the songwriting process. It allows music creation to be the thing that drives you, not the obligation of a 9-5 job that so many artists revile.Mirza from the Danish alt metal band Siamese joins the Chord Progression Podcast as the band is set to release their 8th album, dissolution, on June 26th. Join us for a great conversation as we talk about:- Why different external pressures hinder the creativity in the musicial world, and finding ways to relieve those pressures, especially financial pressures, helps ease the creative process.- Dealing with social media negativity in a band, and the strategies Siamese used to not be impacted by it.- How a sense of urgence and drive created the new album, dissolution, with all band members being fully involved in the writing process.A great band and a great album to end the first half of 2026.

It could be because they are unsure what sound connects with them, could be that their skillset doesn't match up with the style of music they want to create, or they havent found the collection of people to help bring that sound to life.It is something almost every musician goes through, and sometimes it takes a while for artists to find that sound. What if we told you that there is an artist in the punk rock world that fits all 3? Great story for inspiration right?Steve from the California punk rock band Trash N' Privilege joins the Chord Progression Podcast as the band recently released their Flush EP last week. Join us for this punk rock episode as we talk about:- Why Trash N' Privilege went more gritty and dirty with their overall tone of punk rock to create more of a throwback and rough punk rock feel on the new Flush EP.- The positive reverb of the pandemic, where shifting musical focus became forced for the time, but now is fully embraced all across rock and metal.- Songwriting and musical advice for all young musicians out there, to either increase your skillset to match the sound you want to create, or use your internal inspiration to create a sound for yourself within the limits of your skillset.A great episode that is brash, up front, and full of great times.

  How Annelida Wrote an EP Live on Twitch & VYB: Using Streaming to Show Music Creation Process 16.06.2026 1時間 9分

  Plenty of musicians have taken to streaming ever since the COVID-19 pandemic, as a way to deliver their music and their experience through the internet that still has some form of consistent connection to the fans. We have seen Ronnie Radke in Falling in Reverse, Matt Heafy in Trivium, Ryan Kirby in Fit For A King, and many more do something like this. But have they ever live streamed the album creation process?It is a way for the fans to get a first hand look at how an artist would make a song, how a song evolves from beginning to end, and what tools might be used to create all of this. It is something that we really never see anyone else do, but we found an artist that is doing just that.Kevin from the experimental band Annelida joins the Chord Progression Podcast today. After Kevin streamed the writing and song creation process for the band's Unencumbered EP in March of 2026, we dive into this episode with:- How Annelida used livestreaming on Twitch and VYB to show the songwriting process, giving people a more in depth look to the songwriting process & how a song changes over time.- The reason why Annelida streams on multiple platforms all at once with the creation process & with live shows, to continue giving access and connection to their fans.- Why Annelida is considered "experimental metal" to be the weird band on Manic Kat Records, and not ever have the pressure to fit in.A very interesting conversation from start to finish.

  Why Monument of a Memory Stopped Following Metal Purist Mentality to Create Most Authentic Music Yet 11.06.2026 1時間 10分

  Can rock and metal be considered the most authentic genres in music today? Think about it. We are seeing more and more artists with the freedom to experiment and try new things previously considered taboo, that has caused some bands to massively break through pop culture. Pop music is based off of the popular formulas, popular hip hop has a similar flow and beat in all popular songs, modern county is... well about trucks and beer.So how do rock and metal artists now continue to make more creative music that has the connection to so much more authenticity compared to other genres? Well, its based on how they write, and the freedom that they can.Dylan and Eren from the metalcore band Monument of a Memory join the Chord Progression Podcast today. With new music like the single "All We Made" released now and more new music for a new album coming so you can get into the band with us as we talk about:- New music coming from Monument of a Memory and writing that music through a process of vocal isolation from the instrumentals, and ensuring that when writing music, no idea is off the table.- The best music being yet to come on the new album following the releases of "All We Made" and "Hit The Floor", by exploring new territory inside of their heavier style.- Why it was important for them to break free from the elitist and purist ideals of metal & metalcore that they followed as younger men, allowing the band to make their best music now.Don't miss out on more new music coming through the Chord Progression Podcast.

  Kingdom Collapse Announces New Album "Survivor": Modern Hard Rock is Alive and Well (Part 1) 09.06.2026 41分

  The second band we ever interviewed on the Chord Progression Podcast back in 2019, and the band that has been a guest on the podcast the most, is back once again. 7 years later, we have seen them grow to play alongside some great artists like From Ashes to New, Nothing More, and Three Days Grace. But one question was on our mind... when are we going to get that album?Well an announcement was made, and a request was issued. Hard rock never dies, and they continue to rise. You can never forget about their unbreakable spirit, and we are here to make sure you are all into it.Jonathan and Aaron from the hard rock band Kingdom Collapse return to the Chord Progression Podcast for the first time since our 500th episode. The band recently announced their new album "Survivor" releasing on October 30th. Join us as we talk about:- The band signing with Mascot Records, finding a lable that was going to let Kingdom Collapse be themselves & get behind the Unbreakable spirit, instead of trying to have them fit into a trend.- The titular single "Survivor," getting back on radio play with both Sirius XM Octane as well as FM radio, and still evoking the Unbreakable spirit even in the face of life's most challenging times.- Why the band will always put the songs first above anything else, in a world where the industry seems to be relying more on image than music. Something Kingdom Collapse is happy they don't fit in on.- Joe Alfano, and his legacy.Now you might be thinking, "you can't go into the full album this early, and in only 41 minutes!"

Well, in 2026, there is a new way that it has to be done... the live album of that famous album.Joe, Dan, and Kyler from the post-hardcore band A Static Lullaby join the Chord Progression Podcast as they are back after 17 years. With their live album return of their most famous album "...And Don't Forget to Breathe" now out, we dive into the band's return as we talk about:- Why A Static Lullaby decided to return with a live version of "...And Don't Forget to Breathe" compared to brand new music or a rerecording of the album, to not tarnish the legacy of the original.- Fighting labels and other entities to get their music back, from groups buying the rights to their music and selling physical copies back to the band at a higher margin.- A teaser of the brand new music that A Static Lullaby is going to be releasing, bridging the gap from their last album in 2009 to what they would be creating today, had they never stopped.A great conversation to understand the comeback story of a great post-hardcore band.

  We know you are a fan of at least one of the bands on the following list; Motionless In White, August Burns Red, I Prevail, and Knocked Loose. We know there is something about those extreme and unclean vocals that draw in more and more fans every single day. But why? And will this last.Today, we are with a man that has dedicated himself to helping so many vocalists who use unclean vocals to not only hit a larger range of sound, but a larger range of emotion presented through their vocal use. He knows this too because, he makes his own music in the same way. And he knows the key to making this a success... longevity.David Benites from the Boston metalcore band Renesans and founder of the Extreme Vocal Institute, is on the Chord Progression Podcast with us today. With someone like this, we want to not only discuss his music, but his dedication to helping extreme vocalists get better and have the longevity required for a successful career. On this episode, we talk about:- David working with many of your favorite vocalists to help them with the best extreme vocals that they possibly can create with the Extreme Vocal Institute, with the main goal of vocal longevity.- Why unclean and extreme vocals have gained more mainstream popularity over the past few years, through a more raw & visceral emotional connection.- How people are finding Renesans now & how Split Brow show the contained capture of wildly aggressive emotions in one song.If there is someone that understands extreme vocalists best, it is David.

  Swedish Metalcore Band Self Deception Break Down New Album "One Of Us" & Shows Contrasting Chemistry 12.05.2026 54分

  2 years ago, we brought on a band from Sweden that made us laugh and smile because they made a song about Matthew McConaughey that is wild, funny, and enjoyable on all levels. But there was so much more to their music than we realized. So with a new album coming out, we needed to run it back.Today, we did run it back, but we got even deeper into their mixture of heavy music and what makes the band go. We got deeper to understand what makes them more dynamic on their new album, how a massively contrasting personal style between all the members work in harmony to create more dense music, and why it all works on the new album.Andreas and Patrik of the Swedish metalcore band Self Deception return to the Chord Progression Podcast with their brand new album, One Of Us, releasing on May 15th. Dive into the album & the band with us as we talk about:- The writing of "One Of Us" while on the road, with the purpose of connecting the recorded music with the live show, the live emotion, and integrate it fully into the new album.- How different visions and mindsets from each member of the band contrast one another, but create a more total meatlcore sound through the chemistry and understanding of all of the members.- "One Of Us" and giving you the full preview of it, from its darker lyrical content mixed with a more bouncy & upbeat instrumentaiton with individual influences flowing through each song naturally.Make sure you dont miss out on this great band and the many others that are making their way to the Chord Progression Podcast.
