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

The unexpected happens when Michigan metalcore band Of Virtue join the Chord Progression Podcast. The first half is full of some of the most insane tour stories from across the world; a pee soaked bed, bed bugs, a casino in Macedonia, and Hold 'Em in Amsterdam. The podcast then dives deep into Of Virtue rediscovering the wonderment of playing live shows following the pandemic, and how the pandemic gave them one hell of a new confidence for their new music releasing in 2022.

Joey Varela from VRSTY is back on the Chord Progression Podcast once again. The band is releasing their debut LP, Welcome Home, on January 21st, 2022. And we go deep into the album looking at Joey's favorite tracks, the surprises on the album, the deep connection to the song 11 AM, and how the whole album was written. We discuss how Joey is the hardest working man in rock & metal, and sum up Welcome Home for everyone.

Please not that this episode was recorded when the original release date of November 19th 2021 was still the target date. The album has been pushed back due to shipping delays from the global supply chain issue, and other things according to Joey. But the episode was too good to hold on to.
