Every now and again, we have an artist join the podcast to talk about their new music releasing, that gets so in-depth that you sit there, enamored that such a powerful sound can be manifested from great trauma and tragedy.

After 6 years of not releasing music and processing through a good deal of emotion, a record from the depths of a man's soul is about to come out with an evolved sludgy deathcore sound, with so much more behind it than meets the ear.

Tyler from the deathcore band Traitors joins the Chord Progression Podcast witht he release of the new album "Phobias" coming out on February 21st. With this episode, go deeper into a deathcore record than you ever have as we discuss:

• Why Traitors has not released new music since "Repent" came out in 2019, through "Phobias" coming out in 2025.
• Analyzing what the potential Tik Tok ban in the United States will impact heavy music, and all musicians, alike along with the impact of losing the platform's organic reach going forward.
• How Tyler's personal psychological journey from being forced into the GATE Program at a young age, thorugh sleep disorders that caused physical ailments, and healing through all of that inspired "Phobias."

We have gone very deep with artists before, and this is another one to add to the top of that list. Hit the subscribe button to make sure you dont miss out on any going forward.
