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

Nevada metalcore band Preacher NV is on the podcast today where you will see:

- Why the band mixing and curating their sound in a live setting from what is recorded neither alienates fans or compromises on artistic integrity.

- How the band's "DIY" style has led them to fully bet on themselves for everything, just the way they want it.

- That their Blue Ridge Rock Fest story comes from the integrity of the music they have created.
