As we close out the first half of the 2020's, it is clear that rock and metal are back on the rise as bands creating authentic music like Bad Omens, Sleep Token, and The Warning. More people are heading out to shows and checking out the new bands because of the inspiration that this time period is creating.

This band is planning on capitalizing on that with a more experimental metalcore sound that will make them break through the saturation of sound in the metal scene. And this is all done while creating an EP that hits on that sonically, but also connects to those listening all around the concept of a deep loss.

Evan from the Los Angeles metalcore band Thrown Into Exile joins the Chord Progression Podcast. The new EP, Passageways, is available now and we dive into what has made this EP by talking about:

• Releasing new music in metal in a time when pop culture is taking more and more of an interest in the rock and metal genres as time goes on.
• Evan's return to Thrown Into Excile, and music as well, after 6 years, and its importance to the personal journey we all go through recapturing our love for something.
• A deep dive into the new EP, Passageways, from the focus on a dynamic metalcore approach, to the deep emotional connection lyrically based on the final days before losing a loved one.

This got deep and powerful quickly, with the dynamics that is making metal great. Hit the subscribe button to discover more that is coming from the Chord Progression Podcast.
