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

Life at times seems like it can have the biggest problems in the world, and all of those biggest problems are directed right at you. It could be stress from your family, stress from your job, stress from society and people that dont even know who you are. It is an odd human condition that we have to contend with.

But when we take a step back and realize that the problems that we are facing, the problems that are the largest in the world to our perception, are in reality small in the larger picture, things seem to... ease. Life seems to get less stresful and become more fun, and allow us to get great music.

Everyone from the UK Pop Punk band Chasing The Fall join the Chord Progression Podcast following the release of their recent single "City Life" and the upcoming release of their newest EP "Long Story Short" coming out in October. Join us and discover this band as we talk about:

- How the backstory of Chasing tthe Fall speaks to making the most out of life & having fun with the making of your music, to make the most fun interactions as a band as possible.

- City Lights, taking a leap of faith for yourself, and realizing your problems arent as large as you perceive them to be.

- The new EP "Long Story Short" and why it is time for Chasing The Fall to show that they are more than just pop punk.

Kevin's Final Thought; I'm Going to Feature on a Song?: (54:06)

At 30 years into their long career, Nonpoint are not showing any signs of slowing down. At this moment, they are still touring and playing energetic shows, putting out new music, and doing things their own way with their own label, 361 Degrees Records. Seems like the band could have done everything at this point, right?

Well the band that still has a few surprises up their sleeves is about to release another record that is taking the sound of Nonpoint to its next evolution of exploration while still staying Nonpoint. But what is that, and should you get hyped about it?

Elias from Nonpoint rejoins the Chord Progression Podcast again as the band is set to release their 11th album, The Last Word, on September 18th. The album also happens to be the first album of theirs released on 361 Degrees Records, their own label. Join us for a quick one as we talk about:

- What it is like releasing "The Last Word" independently, and what they experienced as the label this time around, that many other artists can use to their knowledge in 2026.

- Diving into the singles "Red Yeti" & "Is It," along with how the writing style of "The Last Word" added more synth and production experimentation more to the Nonpoint groove than ever before.

- The song "Settled" being one of the most full and complete song of Nonpoint's style over 30 years.

Nonpoint is a great band, a great live show, and a great guest. Tap the subscribe button to not miss out on another episode.

Kevin's Final Thought; Nonpoint Shows How To Keep It Fresh After 30 Years: (24:28)

Everyone's musical journey is different, and we all know that. We have had artists on the podcast before that have been making music since they were little (I mean we had Kage Archer on at 13 years old), and it is just in their blood. For some, it takes a little lounger in their journey of life to get there and thankfully, one way or another, they do.

Thankfully we found an artist that found his love for music while needing to scratch a creative itch as acting was not lucrative during the pandemic. One that has taken to a style that so many people love, and is bringing a modern touch to it.

Michael from the New York grunge bands Scarhaven joins the Chord Progression Podcast today. After the band has seen success on Sirius XM Octane with their song "My Way", a new song out called "Clouds", & plenty more great grunge music coming your way. On today's episode, discover the band as we talk about:

- How Michael discovered grunge music later in life following a stalled acting career due to COVID, and created Scarhaven to scratch the undeniable creative itch & to be as honest as possible, musically.

- The way Scarhaven blends their love of grunge music with other styles, and how their writing all starts from the riff.

- What it has been like being featured on Sirius XM Octane, & how a revival of the 90's sound is coming back.

Kevin's Final Thought; More Open Emotinal Music, the Better Variety: (42:19)

It has been quite a long time since we last saw Tom Kiley from Patient Sixty-Seven on the podcast, over 3 years ago. This band is that metalcore artist that you always see posting great content online to make you take a lighthearted look at metalcore, and enjoy some great music. And off of that, they created an incredibly strong community of fans around them.

But, it has been quiet from Patient Sixty-Seven for the past year. For those that have not been paying attention, they might not know what is going on with the band. For those in the community, they know what has been going on. And through their support, they have been instrumental in helping Patient Sixty-Seven get back to where they need to be, and to help Tom get back to where he wants to be.

Tom Kiley from the Australian metalcore band Patient Sixty-Seven rejoins the Chord Progression Podcast for the 4th time as the band just released their new along "A Stitch In Time Saves None." Catch back up with Tom on this episode as we talk about:

- How major life events and issues caused Tom to stop actively pursuing music due to self destructive tendencies, but how rediscovering his love for music brought him back to feeling like himself.

- Why being vulnerable and honest with the Patient Sixty-Seven fans about his struggles, along with his own self-introspection, helped Tom & can help other through their own issues, knowing that they can change the outcome, not the event.

- Writing the brand new album, and how the songs are reopening new pathways to the next chapter of Patient Sixty-Seven.

We are happy Tom is back as the music world is in a better space with him here and happy. Tap the subscribe button because plenty more great episodes and artists are on the way.

Kevin's Final Thought; Can't Change Event, Change Outcome: (57:15)

Every person knows they have stumbled upon a special artist from the first time they really get to listen to them, and are taken aback in amazement of what they hear. There is a jolt of energy and inspiration that flows directly into your brain and into your soul and you just know, greatness in music is right in front of you.

We got to check out this artist live once before, but due to an illness causing her voice to be rough, a second listen was required to really get to know the artist. When we had a chance to listen to her debut EP and really see what her sound was about, we knew we found something special, and the best EP of 2026.

Showing Teeth is on the Chord Progression Podcast today with her brand new EP "A Fate Worse Than Loneliness" set to release on September 4th. Join us and really discover this artist that is about to blow up as we talk about:

- Sonically writing "A Fate Worse Than Loneliness" as an audio diary, in order to show the massive theatric & thematic range by consistently revisiting old feelings through music & thoughts to choose one's self.

- Showing Teeth's massive vocal range allowing for a sharp but controlled contrast between different ideas in her music, creating what is the best EP of 2026.

- Why we live in the whackiest age of music where new acts trying new things are met with skepticism and caution, yet experimentation is promoted.

This might be one of the most impressive sounds we have had on the Chord Progression Podcast in 7 and a half years. Tap the subscribe button as we find the next artist that will blow you away.

Kevin's Final Thought; Best EP of 2026: (33:28)

When Zahna made her way to the Chord Progression Podcast 3.5 years ago for the release of her album "Stronger Than Death," we had a deep conversation about the real life struggles, trauma, and adversity that she had to go through in life to keep living, keep her dream alive, and continue to not let the world keep her down. It was not only impactful but a reminder to keep hope and to keep faith in moments of adversity.

Now with 3 and a half more years, plenty more has happened. Unfortunately, plenty more moments of adversity and challenges to one's own resolve and faith continued to come Zahna's way. And writing a new record to process through all of it, is just what artists like her do best.

Zahna returns to the Chord Progression Podcast with her brand new album "Break or Breakthrough" releasing on September 4th. Join us for her return as we talk about:

- How the death of Zahna's father-in-law & following chaos shook her family's foundation, yet inspired Zahna to write about processing such a painful & raw experience on "Break or Breakthrough."

- Why "Break or Breakthrough" is an allegory to Donte's Inferno, yet provides hope in the sense of faith and spirituality for all of those that listen.

- Bringing in synth, pop, and other styles into an experimental way with her prior rock & metalcore style onto "Break or Breakthrough"

We had Travis from Colorblind back on the Chord Progression Podcast last year around this time when the band was releasing their newest EP "Who Sold You This Truth." It was a good time, naturally, but it was just an EP, and he told us that more new music was coming our way.

Now that it is one year later, there is more new music coming our way from Colorblind. And it takes us on a journey of self discovery with self worth, and understanding that some of the truths that we have been told, might not be just that. So, let's dive in.

Travis from Colorblind is back on the Chord Progression Podcast once again as the band is set to release their new album "Who Sold You This Truth - Was It Your's To Hold" on August 28th. Dive into the album as we talk about:

- Why "Who Sold You This Truth - Was It Your's To Hold" comes together as 2 EPs for one album, and why touring plans and timing were the cause for this kind of a release.

- The theme of "Who Told You This Truth - Was It Your's To Hold" talking about how beliefs and perceptions that have been imprinted upon us can create a truth that cages you instead of setting you free, & why your opinion of you matters the most.

- Colorblind not sacrificing their musical ideas to streamline into a more popular sound.

A great return and a great band to get into if you havent already. Tap the subscribe button for many more like this.

Catch Your Breath first burst onto the scene with the smash hit song "Dial Tone" and have not looked back since. The song became insanely popular on Octane, the debut album "Shame On Me" took the band to new heights including large supporting tours, their own successful headlining runs, and the ability to consistently tour across the world.

That success doesn't come without the music connecting heavily with a lot of people. And that is something that Catch Your Breath discovered is the key to their music, relatability. And with a new album set to come out, it is time to take the sound or relatability to the next level.

Teddy from Catch Your Breath returns to the Chord Progression Podcast as the band is about to release their sophmore album "Not Broken Enough" on August 28th. Join us for the deep dive as we talk about:

- The pressure Catch Your Breath is feeling around their sophmore album "Not Broken Enough" to show not only who they are & what they stand for, but to further solidify and elevate the band's identity.

- The different ideas Catch Your Breath used on "Not Broken Enough," including Rewind being written in 3|4 time signature, & how the key to their music is relatability.

- Being a headlining band and needint to great a live show & stage presence to match the musical sounds with the message of the band overall.

Kevin's Final Thought; Sophmore Album Growth: (52:34)

What is it about the world today that has us less invested in everything that we do? We pass on music after 10 seconds just because the intro to one song was odd, and then never listen to that band again. We record an entire concert on our phones and never look up, failing to live in the moment. We do everything for social media, and are beholden to an algorithm we dont understand.

It wont be until the individual stands up for him/herself and says no more. If anything since the start of the 2020's has shown us, this has to be the case. But, how do we speak up and stand against the norm? Well, here is an idea.

Sven from the German metalcore band Rising Insane is back on the Chord Progression Podcast once again with the band's newest album "Deathrace" available August 21st. Join us for the deep dive into the idea of the album as we talk about:

- How Rising Insane was able to add the features they did on their songs to enhance the already created versions, and how they were able to be more experimental with modern riffs while still holding true to the styles that they grew up on.

- The meaning of the album "Deathrace" and how it is a critique of the world since the beginning of the 2020s, a commentary that could be seen as political for a non-political band.

- Why we, as a society, have become less invested & less involved in the lives we lead based on the the world focus around AI, social media algorithms, and content that is rotting our brains from the inside out.

A fun album and conversation that also takes a powerful turn. Tap the subscribe button for more episodes like this.

Kevin's Final Thought; Live in the Moment: (53:21)

If we think back to the earliest days of recorded music being sent out massively to the public (think the 1950s), artists would release music left and right to try and maximize the amount of money they could make. Elvis Presley released 24 albums and 38 EPs over the course of 21 years, recording many covers and songs written by other people (no disrespect, just a fact). Today, it is a little different.

Quality is at the forefront in a world where a song can be forgotten in 5 seconds thanks to the world of streaming. So quality, exploration, and an understanding of an individual sound needs to be taken more seriously. So for an Australian metalcore band to be releasing their 2nd album 7 years after their debut, you can understand why. But, they didnt stop growing.

Ionei from the Australian metalcore band Ocean Sleeper joins the Chord Progression Podcast today with the band's new album "Peace When I'm Dead" releasing on August 21st. Join us for a great hour as we talk about:

- Why Ocean Sleeper took 7 years to record a new album following up their debut 'Don't Leave Me This Way", but kept growing as a band, & how "Peace When I'm Dead" could ahve been 2 albums, but correct decisions and self producing the music kept it as one.

- Why artists are caring more about the quality of the music and exploring where their sound could go contributes to longer release gaps, prior to pressures of the past of pumping out music as fast as you can for profit.

- Ocean Sleeper focusing less on an "industrial" soudn to the album while also exploring beyond the poppier and happier songs from the past EPs.

This is a fantastic conversation and Australian metalcore never disappoints. Tap the subscribe button for many more like this.
