Welcome back to Season Six of the NAS Podcast! In Episode Twenty, Origin Crxss and Lisa Haden sit down with Andres and Carlos from Chilean rock band Rock In Progress.Rock In Progress is a Chilean rock/prog-metal ensemble hailing from Santiago, blending classic rock, progressive structures, and hints of Latin and grunge influences. Originally covering rock legends, they pivoted to writing original music in 2019 with singles like Relativity (2020), Soul Search (2021)—a spiritually and structurally ambitious track with layered harmonies, tempo changes, and dual guitar solos—and Warnings of Another Fight (2023), a Viking-inspired epic weaving Nordic themes into their signature sound. Their lineup features Carlos Ascencio (vocals), Marcel Goic (keys), two guitarists, Cristian Cortes (bass), and Andres Musalem (drums). Having premiered on the NAS spotlight playlist, they aim to keep expanding their catalog beyond covers and win more fans with emotionally charged, technically bold originals.New Artist Spotlight is a community of indie musicians from around the globe.
