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

Dry Kill Logic has been away from music for 20 years. After releasing their most recent album back in 2006, the band has released 2 singles between then and now. You would think that a band that hasnt been active for 20 years would make a comeback, and also succeed when fans get a chance to see them live right?

Well, with a few festival performances in 2025 and a new song to add to it, the soft launch for the band is here and so far, the reaction has been highly positive. Even for a band that hasn't had an online presence since the MySpace days, that connection still has proven strong. So it must be caused by something else.

Cliff from the metal band Dry Kill Logic joins the Chord Progression Podcast to not only get you back into the band for 2025, but to ready you for their full relaunch in 2026. On this episode, we talk about:

- The reason why Dry Kill Logic returned after 20 years, and how they are able to do so.

- Why creating a positive connection with their music during their time has led them to still connect with audiences as technology and social media have progressed, for a band that hasn't been relevant since the MySpace days.

- What is coming up in 2026 for their full return, from more shows to a brand new album.

No better time than the present to get into Dry Kill Logic as they return. Tap that subscribe button to not miss out on another episode.

Writing a progressive death metal album might not be the easiest thing. But what might even be harder is when you join the band as the vocalist in the middle of the writing process, doing what you can to add your voice to the structure that is already there. That is what happened to Kyle from Fallujah when the band wrote Empyrean in 2022.

But now with a new album coming out, Kyle had a chance to be a part of the writing process from the beginning. This led the album to be a lot more special for Kyle, and showed another moment of growth for this progressive death metal band's sound.

Therefore, Kyle from Fallujah joins the podcast today! With the brand new album Xenotaph releasing on June 13th, 2025, we dive deep into the album with Kyle to show you the inside scoop of how Xenotaph was made. On this episode, we talk about:

- Why this album is special for Kyle, stemming from his first experience writing with the band when the album structure was already completed, now to writing Xenotaph with his full influence attached from the beginning.

- The writing process on Xenotaph, and how the band used deliberate inspiration from their favorite musicians to understand the music they wanted to make, and recreate that feeling of joy when they were listening to their favorite bands for the first time.

- Why releasing songs in albums is still a thing in the streaming world and single-dominated industry, specifically when it comes to rock and metal fans.

Kevin's Final Thought; More Emotional Investment Comes at the Start of the Creative Process: (54:45)

Why has heavy music been on a massive resurrgence in cultural relevance and popularity over the past 5 years? We could easily boil it down to a large number of reasons from changing preferences in the younger generations, to a connection to the culture that was lost previously. But there is one attribute that needs to be consistent in any answer, the music needs to be good and inventive.

More and more heavy music artists are creating a sound mixing heavy music with many different other influences, and creating an incredible sound. This can come from something more raw and visceral, something more suspiscious and moving, or in this artist's case, GROOVE.

Jacob from Australian metal band Thornhill joins the Chord Progression Podcast. Following the release of their 3rd album Bodies, the band went on their headlining run in the USA, with plenty more to come. So on today's episode, we talk to Jacob about:

- The growth of heavy music in culture over the past 5 years, and why bands being more inventive with their overall sound and influences are leading the charge for generations to come.

- What fans thought of Bodies, and why Thornhill will never look back at their discography to find gaps, but look forward to discover what they want to do next.

- Thornhill's headlining run in the USA, and why they are going out with Landmvrks in Fall 2025 for a USA run of their own.

A large pilar of the Chord Progression Podcast has been to give as many artists in the rock and metal space a chance to be discovered by the largest audience posssible. It is something that helps keep the genre we love alive. And we always are thrilled to see other people and platforms doing the same thing.

We have been watching a platform work at this intensly over the past few years as a way to try and bring people to discover new artist in a way that MTV used to, creating an experience and an event for people to discover new artists together. What it turned into, was something even greater.

Kevin's Final Thought; The Perfect Platform for Young Adults: (46:31)

Everyone knows that is is harder than ever to make it in the music industry as a band in 2025, and the likelihood of it getting any easier is rather grim for the future. With more music readily available on streaming platforms, and with making money in music becoming more difficult, there are less avenues artists can take for them to become successful.

We picked up with a band we had on the podcast in December of 2023 to see how they not only have grown over the past year and a half, but also provide the tools newer artsits need to use in order to gain success in the music industry come 2025 and beyond.

Canada's No Exceptions return to the Chord Progression Podcast today. With a brand new EP coming this summer and a spot on the Rock The Park festival in July opening for Bad Omens, we discover their growing success through:

- The importance of networking not only in your local scene, but also when you are around others in the music industry whether it is producers, roadies, other musicians, and promoters.

- How No Exceptions earned their opening spot for Rock The Park with Bad Omens & the importance of always bringing it in front of the fans.

- A rundown of the Kind Regards EP, from the construction and inspiration of all 4 songs, to what they mean to each member.

3 years ago, Steven from Wolves At The Gate joined us on the Chord Progression Podcast to talk about the band's 5th album, Eulogies, and we dove deep into the album's meaning with faith in the Gospel and pandemic reflections. Now in 2025, there is a new album coming our way from Wolves At The Gate.

But for a band releasing their 6th album some questions come to mind. What is the album going to be about? What is going to make this album different from what came before it? And is the sound going to evolve from the last album to this one?

That is what we ask Steven today before the release of the band's 6th album, Wasteland, and May 30th. Join us as we talk about:

- The inspiration of the new album, Wasteland, and the immersive experience to break free from short term, instant gratification in the world today.

- How Steven reverse engineers other songs he likes in order to discover why he enjoys them, in order to become a better songwriter.

- The difficulty artists face making fresh music as their careers go on years after their inception, and if artists are able to keep their sound fresh beyond 20 years.

A hallmark of musicians, bands, and artists getting popular in the 2020's is having a song used for Tik Tok or on Instagram reels. Yes it is great when a piece of a song goes viral on those platforms, but what is the outcome of that? Have we seen more artists find sustained success from those moments, or fail to capture the lightning in a bottle and fall from being viral? History shows, it's the latter.

So we wonder, what makes a song, that goes viral on Tik Tok or Instagram Reels, provide long term growth and success for the band or artist that makes it? The answer... structure.

Anthony and Jon from Defy the Tyrants return to the Chord Progression Podcast for the first time since 2021. With their self-titled debut album out now, join us as we discuss

- Why song structure is the most paramount aspect to focus on for any artist in the 2020's, which will help music that goes viral on Tik Tok and Instagram to have sustained growth, and not just be a moment in time.

- The concept of slightly changing recorded songs in the live setting for the purpose of making the experience much more unique and memorable.

- Writing the self-titled album, from the most fun song to write, the songs that didn't make the record, and how these songs were structured.

The last time Senna came to the Chord Progression Podcast, they were just starting out on Sharptone records, finally cutting their teeth in the rock music world. Since that time 2 years ago, they have been working hard to become a mainstay in the European metal scene.

So what happened over those few years? What is Senna doing now? And what helped them achieve creative success on their upcoming album? Well... it all has to deal with time and putting good out into the world.

Marcel & Viktor from the German band Senna come back to the Chord Progression Podcast with their debut album "Stranger Love" releasing on May 23rd. Join us recaping the last 2 years and preparing you for the album as we talk about:

- Why it took a long time over the past 2 years for Senna to fully be prepared to release Senna, from Viktor joining the band, to the rest of the band forming professional accountability.

- The reason why artists need to make time their friend in the creative process, and not be beholden to deadlines that constrict or quicken the creativity.

- A look into "Stranger Love" and the intertwined music videos that accompany it, from the backstory itself, to how so many people helped make this reality come true.

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.

They guys in Wounded Touch, a metalcore band out of Michigan, join the Chord Progression Podcast today. The band's second album "A Vivid Depiction of Collapse, is releasing on May 16th. Discover the band and the album as we dive deep into:

- A history of Wounded Touch, and how they wrote Americanxiety during the pandemic isolated, aggressive, and exposing their pissed off mindset during that time.

- Writing A Vivid Depiction of Collapse together with a new perspective in order to cerate a cohesive & collective human emotion and experience.

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. Tap the subscribe button as we will keep being the best place to discover the newest and best bands in rock & metal!
