It is only human that songwriting evolves over time, regardless of the genre. Rock music, metal music, any kind of heavy music really undergoes an evolution in songwriting as life, culture, and history change around us. But it is slow.
However, many artsits experienced a massive shift in songwriting style 5 years ago when the Covid-19 pandemic threw the entire world into isolation. So how has songwriting changed because of the pandemic, what are its impacts in 2025, and how have bands gotten better because of it.

When any band changes vocalists, naturally fans are going to be rather vocally opinionated regarding the change whether they like it or not. But when that vocalist transition is from a male vocalist to a female vocalist (or vice versa), the opinions and criticisms can be much more striking. So how does that band succeed going forward.
This French band experienced just that in 2023, and through a combination of band unity, mental & emotional strength from the new vocalist, and the quality of music to back it up, the band not only succeded but began to thrive. Now in 2025, with a brand new album starting the next era, plenty more greatness is in store.
Camille from the French band Novelists is with us on the Chord Progression Podcast today! The new album Coda (releasing May 16th), is the first full-length album with Camille as lead vocalist. Dive into this with us as we talk about:
What Camille experienced taking over as lead vocals for Novelists from having the mental strength to deal with polarizing fan opinions, finding the utmost support from her bandmates, to earning her flowers as the new vocalist of Novelists.The writing of Coda being a brand new chapter in the Novelist sound with Camille as vocalist, nd the importance of being open to an artist's evolution over their careers.Which songs on the record Camille is most excited for fans to discover.This episode is wrapped up tightly, full of everything you could want from Novelists.

There are many musicians out there that start in one sound or genre, and then move to the next. It is not anything uncommon. But one of the hardest decisions artists have to make is if taking a step back from the success you had prior to start something new will lead to greater happiness and success later on.
One upcoming band has already discovered this and is here to show you that taking a step back to take 2 steps forward in the end is not as scary as it seems, and could be a great idea for any artist to take.
AJ and Will from the metalcore band Resider join the Chord Progression Podcast today, to help get you to discover great new music. On this episode we discuss:
- How Resider's origins came from the progressive deathcore world, and how taking a step back from their prior success lead to the band finding better success in the long run.
- Why the band will always put on the best performance no matter the circumstances, and how a 1 AM show proves just that.
- The reality of a growing band touring through the USA, and the challenge the rocky mountains present for your favorite bands going from west to east, or vice versa.

Rock and metal music is for everyone, truthfully. It always has been from the authenticity of the sound, to the connection each song has to us, all the way to the impactful live shows that never die in our minds. This authenticity is why many artists gravitate to the genres.
There are also artists out there in other genres that grew up loving rock & metal, as well as still loving it to this day. So what should we do as fans when those artists try and find their sound in rock & metal? We do what we should do, embrace it and give them a chance to show us who they are.
IV4 joins the Chord Progression Podcast, after reaching out to us via Instagram DM. This is how we bring you some great new artists in the rock and metal word. Discover IV4 as we talk about:
IV4's backstory of how she hustled & grinded her way into the music industry, created an alternative R&B sound, only to discover her true sound in heavier music.Why IV4 went against the wishes of label experts in regards to going into rock & metal, doing it slowly while not purely chasing clout, and how staying true to herself resonated with new fans to her music.Her new song "Let Us Pray," how it speaks to her authenticity, and what Kevin sees in this song for the future.A story too incredible not to share, and an artist you will want to get into is right here.

Imagine this scenario. You are in a band and are itching to release new music. So you travel to Michigan for only 4 weeks to record an album with one of the greatest minds in modern metal today. And when you get off the plane you have... absolutley no idea of what your new album is going to be.
This is the situation Acres found themselves in October of 2024. So what was the overall outcome of that hard-working 4 week time period? A new album so dynamic but so perfectly unique to Acres, that it shows so much more of that this band is and can be.

With the amount of data and analytics tools available to every artist and band in the music industry, a focus on data is necessary to ensure the best growth of your music in the digital age. We are talking about streaming metrics, listener demographics, social media post engagement, all of it.
But how should an artist use these tools? Should they use them to know what content to make? What platform should they focus any promotion efforts on? Where to book a live show or tour? And if they should follow the sounds that are hitting numbers. These are questions all bands and artists have in the digital age, and want to know the answers to.
The boys in Valoria return to the Chord Progression Podcast for the first time in 3 years, and we pick up right where we left off. On this episode, we dive deep into:
The importance of data analyitics for a young band or artist in the digital age, and why it is necessary to know how to promote your music and grow efficiently.How artists can split focus on the analytics and creative, how to not let data analytics impact the direction of the music and art, and how to not get burnt out just looking at numbers.Their newest single "Find A Way," and why it was made with the challenge of sounding as good as possible in an arena setting.This one went deep into something every musician should know, and every fan should understand.

Mayday Parade has been around for 20 years, making music in the pop punk and emo genres that many people not only have had a personal connection with in their formative years, but still go back to this very day. So it is only fitting to take time and look back at the impact of 20 years of music, while new music is coming your way.
But what does a review of 20 years in music entail. The impact of the music on the members' lives? The impact of the music on the listeners' lives? How music delivery has changed over the course of 20 years? How an artist writes songs now vs. 20 years ago? What might the past 20 years teach us about the future? Well it could be all of these.
Brooks from the pop punk & emo legends Mayday Parade joins the Chord Progression Podcast today. With the band celebrating 20 years in music and with the brand new album Sweet releasing on April 18th, it is time to dive deep with Brooks as we talk about:
- Mayday Parade's 20 years in music, from the origins in the MySpace days to making music in the streaming age. We take aim at how big of an impact the internet has had on Mayday Parade, and how certain attributes of their music have changed over that time.
- Writing the brand new album Sweet, with Mayday Parade's tried and true method of writing music individually and then collaborating. And how Sweet is essentially part 1 of a 3 part release.
- If the digital-first focus and streaming dominance in 2025 will force artists to go against the norm in order to be creative and stand out in an overcroweded space.
20 years is a long time, and not many bands make it there. Get in early on the bands that will make it that long by tapping the subscribe button. We are bringing them here.

Magnolia Park has been considered one of the "Get to know them now before they get big" for a few years now. Their active rock blend with pop punk and alt rock has been something known to create high quality music. So what is that next step in 2025 that is going to see them BLOW UP?
Could it be a new album that expands futher on their sound than ever before? Could it be a better stage show with more production and active storytelling? Could it be a mission and cause that is greater than them? Well, it is all of those things!
Tristan from the Florida rock band Magnolia Park joins the Chord Progression Podcast today. With the band's newest album VAMP releasing on April 11th, we show why Magnolia Park is going to BLOW UP in the music scene in 2025. On this episode we discuss
- The making of the new album VAMP. This is complete with the lore added to the album, how they expanded their sound to not only be catchy, but also have those "moments" that have you coming back for more, & doing it all so well.
- Improving the live show with more production & storytelling to create something memorable, as well as what this might mean for Magnolia Park booking bigger tours in the future.
- Why they are using their platform and the VAMP community that they created to better the world around them, from Animal Drives, to Blood Drives, Tree Planting, and plenty more in the future.
Magnolia Park is the band that deserves your attention for their quality sound, and the positivity that they spread to the world. Tap the subscribe button to never miss out on another band like this.

Metal music has been undergoing many changes since the dawn of Spotify and the age of streaming. With more focus on the release of the single and staying relevant to an algorithm, the importance of the album has suffered. This also comes at a time when artists making money from their music is becoming more sparce, and the incentive to make music that pleases an algorithm seems to grow.
So how is metal music going to grow and thrive in a time like this? Clearly there is one way, and that is to focus on the art that is the music. Quality music is what brings us back to the artists we love, not because they make a trendy sound. This band here, absolutley embodies that on this record.
Ayden from the Italian fantasy metal band Elvenking is on the podcast today. Their new album and conclusion of the Readers of the Runes trilogy, Luna, drops on April 11th. On this episode, join us as we dive deep into:
The concept of metal music and its artistic integrity being compromised due to more artists focus on making money and to please the streaming algorithms, and if this is going to stall metal's resurgence.An understanding what musicians and artists go through on tour in 2025, and why seeing every band on a tour bill is paramount now more than ever.Reader of the Runes' backstory before the release of the final installment, Luna, and making a trilogy album in a Spotify and single-centered world.A look at the song Starbath and how Elvenking mindfully integrates folk music into their style of metal.This one is the episode you were not expecting, but the one that you most needed to check out and listen to.

It's 2025 in the United States of America, and it is fair to say that there is political division everywhere you look. No matter what side of the aisle you are on, you can see and experience the division caused by those well above in class & monetary status, and those in control. But that is when art, music, and expression is most needed, to make sure no voice goes silent or censored.
Punk rock has always been about that since its inception back in the 1970s, and now in 2025, one Florida punk band is making sure that their voices do not get censored or suppressed.
Zach and Chris from the Florida punk band Debt Neglector join the Chord Progression Podcast. With a brand new album, Kinda Rips, releasing on April 4th, we get political on this episode as we talk about:
How Debt Neglector wrote music for Kinda Rips, with a focus on taking down American Exeptionalism as what it has become today.The Importance that art & music have in the delivery of a message that is threatened to be supressed and censored by the state or its entities.If we can still talk with those on the other side politically, and discover who is the "bad guy" driving the political strife and division today.We don't always get political in an episode, but really happy we did with this one.

20 years ago, Bleed From Within started out as a band humbly covering Lamb of God throughout Glasgow, Scotland. At this point in their careers, they have released 6 albums (with the 7th on the way) and have toured around the world, breaking into the USA in 2023. And in that time, they have seen their friends in bands like Bring Me The Horizon and Architects rise to international superstardom.
As artists, what is a band to do with album #7 in a time when heavy music is the toast of the music industry? Do they play it safe and stay in their lane? Or do they take a chance at expanding their sound in a new way, and allowing them to continue being a band for another 30 years? We'd go with the latter.
Ali from the Scottish metalcore heavy hitters Bleed From Within joins the Chord Progression Podcast today. The bands new album, Zenith, is due out on April 4th, 2025, as well as a tour supporting Bullet For My Valentine and Trivium in the United States. On this episode, dive into Bleed From Within & Zenith with us as we talk about:
- Why Bleed From Within took a different approach when writing & creating Zenith, and how they aim to expand their sound as a band 20 years into their career.The reason why "Violent Nature" is the best song the band has ever written, plus the reason why Bleed From Within refused to use it as a single.The continued growth of heavy music today, especially when isolated to UK artists like Bring Me The Horizon, Architects, Sleep Token, and Bleed From Within.If this doesn't get you ready for Zenith, I am not sure what will.

Heavy music in rock and metal has continued to rise in prominence and become a powerhouse once again over the past few years. The reasons behind this have been a combination of a willingness to experiment with sound, a growth of the overall capabilities of the vocals with the musicianship, and an unrelenting authenticity.
Today, we are going all the way to Finland to bring you a band that is combinging their experimental heavy roots, with a vocalist who has heavily worked to master her extensive range, to bring you an up-tempo and energetic metal album that is infectious and, as the artists call it, whimsical.
Lotta from the Finnish nu metal/alt metal band Luna Kills joins the Chord Progression Podcast with their newest album, Deathmatch, releasing on April 4th, 2025. Join us to discover this band and their massive sound as we talk about:
The backstory of Lotta's vocal range alongside the expansive, heavy & uptempo, instrumental style that created the dynamic album that is "Deathmatch."Suggesting unreleased songs on "Deathmatch" we are heavily anticipating for people to listen to because of the range of sound they expose that the singles have yet to show everyone.Promoting the band so that we all can get our favorite artists a better chance at touring worldwide.A fantastic album from a fantastic new artist that you can finally get behind.

Life is funny sometimes. Every one of us have massive amounts of dreams that we want to achieve and go after in life, but so many of them go by the wayside for one reason or another. Whether it is a worry about not being good enough, a fear of what others might say and think as you strive to your dream, or anything else, we need inspiration to keep going.
This artist not only struggled through forgiving herself for the things in her past that were holding her back, but the work to do that allowed her to find her sound, discover her passion for heavy music once again, and is a story we can all get behind.
Katerina Nicole joins the Chord Progression Podcast with her newest EP, Serene in Violet Oceans, as her return to the heavy music she has always loved, available now. Join us as we dive deep into:
Karetina's journey to discovery her sound and how she wants to express herself in music, starting in a pop and EDM world, to the world of heavy music from her time as a kid.How writing and creating "Serene in Violent Oceans" taught her to forgive herself to not be reserved by the past and embrace attacking her dreams head on.Learning how to write more metaphorically to create a more emotionally connected song experience for the listener.Bringing you great artists you might not know (and ones that you will) is our thing.

Any new artist that is trying to get as much positive buzz around their debut album as possible knows how tough of a task it is. Do you focus on the social media aspect? Should your focus go towards making the most dynamic music possible? Or is it about playing live and getting fans excited for yet-to-be released music?
This band, with their second turn on the podcast, have shown that it is a combination of all 3 that gets the best buzz for a debut album. Dynamic music, appearing all over social media and other media publicaitons, and playing new songs live with an energy to make fans want them early. That is how it is done.
Zak and Rex from the nu metalcore band Uncured join the podcast. Their debut LP, Warpath, is available for you to check out now, however we recorded this hours before the album dropped. On this episode, we dive into it with the guys discussing:
How Uncured made fans hyped for the new album playing every song live prior to its release, without letting fans know they were new.Why Uncured did not take any shortcuts to build the buzz around the band for almost 10 years, focusing on building their sound and becoming recognizable on social media.Looking at how each song on Warpath went in a different direction and how they are going to continue building on their sound with album #2.A great band returned to the podcast, and wont be the last time either.

The concept of the album in rock and metal has forever changed since the streaming revolution took over. As people, artists, and labels put more importance on releasing singles to maximize a song's life in a time with shorter attention spans, does that mean the album will die out.
We say it will not, because it will take its construction and build onto its legacy as a time capsule of the band at that time. It may just be seen as a collection of singles, but it is the marker to an era for that band. And this newer band is driving that idea home with their career.
Mitch from Moon Fever returns to the Chord Progression Podcast, with our first actual episode not plagued by interent connection issues. With the band's debut LP, Forever Sleep, already out, discover the band with us as we talk about:
The new meaning and symbolism in rock & metal albums as the age of single-focused streaming forges on, as the encapsulation of an era or a time period in their evolving histories.A look into the release of Forever Sleep, and why TV Skin shows the beginning transition from this era of the band to the next one.How Moon Fever is already writing album 2 and why working with an EDM producer on this one just ended up being a natrual fit.A quick 30 minutes that has a lot of insights and a lot more talk about the pancake hot dog.

Writing music is no easy task in the year 2025. At times it seems like artists past and present have either come up with the progressions and ideas that you have previously, or the only way to find success is to chase the trends of what is popular on Tik Tok and social media. So how do bands like Bad Omens, Sleep Token, and Knocked Loose pop off with unique sound and flare?
The answer to those questions can be found right here, in this episode, with someone who lives this in his music, and needed to try and always be unique, in order to discover the answer.
Aaron Nordstrom of Gemini Syndrome joins the Chord Progression Podcast today, with new music and a new album coming out in 2025. In this episode join us as we talk about:
How the music industy being so single-dominated in the streaming age has its roots back when artists and labels were pitching to radio, and trying to follow what was popular on those platforms.Why artists being authentic in their niche is causing those music artists to find success in this era more than in the past.The reason why almost all ideas and progressions in music have been used before, but why what you do with it in your music to make it special matters.A look into the first single "Suffer In Silence" in 2025 and why it connects so well with so many of our own internal struggles.A fantastic episode for any musican or music lover to understand the industry today.

When someone is the son of a well known musician such as Jason Bonham, and the grandson of legendary Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham, naturally people are going to assume this person is going to follow in their footsteps and make similar music.
But that is not what happened. This man went on his own journey to discover what his desires in life were, and when it was found to be music, what his sound should be. What came out was vastly different than expected, more experimental than anticipated, and something that makes this artist his own person.
Jager Henry joins the Chord Progression Podcast today! His debut LP "Heart of Thorns" released back in August of 2024, but this is the best way to discovering an emerging artist. On today's episode, we go deep into:
Jager discovering his love for music and creating his own sound in his own unique way, bucking any expections others may have had for him.Why it is important to make music for what you want, and not to please an algorithm, or whatever is going to be the catchiest or easiest to sing along to (something many artists will run into at some point).The album "Heart of Thorns" and how Jager is grateful that people all over are connecting with his music.This is the type of sound and artist you are going to want to get into.
