  Showing Teeth & How "A Fate Worse Than Loneliness" Is the Best EP of 2026 for All Heavy Music

  Sep 3, 202637 min

  Every person knows they have stumbled upon a special artist from the first time they really get to listen to them, and are taken aback in amazement of what they hear. There is a jolt of energy and inspiration that flows directly into your brain and into your soul and you just know, greatness in music is right in front of you. We got to check out this artist live once before, but due to an illness causing her voice to be rough, a second listen was required to really get to know the artist. When we had a chance to listen to her debut EP and really see what her sound was about, we knew we found something special, and the best EP of 2026. Showing Teeth is on the Chord Progression Podcast today with her brand new EP "A Fate Worse Than Loneliness" set to release on September 4th. Join us and really discover this artist that is about to blow up as we talk about: - Sonically writing "A Fate Worse Than Loneliness" as an audio diary, in order to show the massive theatric & thematic range by consistently revisiting old feelings through music & thoughts to choose one's self. - Showing Teeth's massive vocal range allowing for a sharp but controlled contrast between different ideas in her music, creating what is the best EP of 2026. - Why we live in the whackiest age of music where new acts trying new things are met with skepticism and caution, yet experimentation is promoted. This might be one of the most impressive sounds we have had on the Chord Progression Podcast in 7 and a half years. Tap the subscribe button as we find the next artist that will blow you away.

  Dynamic Rock & Metalcore Artist Zahna Talks New Album "Break or Breakthrough" & It's Meaning of Hope

  Sep 1, 202654 min

  When Zahna made her way to the Chord Progression Podcast 3.5 years ago for the release of her album "Stronger Than Death," we had a deep conversation about the real life struggles, trauma, and adversity that she had to go through in life to keep living, keep her dream alive, and continue to not let the world keep her down. It was not only impactful but a reminder to keep hope and to keep faith in moments of adversity. Now with 3 and a half more years, plenty more has happened. Unfortunately, plenty more moments of adversity and challenges to one's own resolve and faith continued to come Zahna's way. And writing a new record to process through all of it, is just what artists like her do best. Zahna returns to the Chord Progression Podcast with her brand new album "Break or Breakthrough" releasing on September 4th. Join us for her return as we talk about: - How the death of Zahna's father-in-law & following chaos shook her family's foundation, yet inspired Zahna to write about processing such a painful & raw experience on "Break or Breakthrough." - Why "Break or Breakthrough" is an allegory to Donte's Inferno, yet provides hope in the sense of faith and spirituality for all of those that listen. - Bringing in synth, pop, and other styles into an experimental way with her prior rock & metalcore style onto "Break or Breakthrough" A great time meeting with yet another returning artist to the podcast.

  Travis from Colorblind Talks New Album and Unraveling the Truths & Beliefs Imprinted On Us

  Aug 27, 202640 min

  We had Travis from Colorblind back on the Chord Progression Podcast last year around this time when the band was releasing their newest EP "Who Sold You This Truth." It was a good time, naturally, but it was just an EP, and he told us that more new music was coming our way. Now that it is one year later, there is more new music coming our way from Colorblind. And it takes us on a journey of self discovery with self worth, and understanding that some of the truths that we have been told, might not be just that. So, let's dive in. Travis from Colorblind is back on the Chord Progression Podcast once again as the band is set to release their new album "Who Sold You This Truth - Was It Your's To Hold" on August 28th. Dive into the album as we talk about: - Why "Who Sold You This Truth - Was It Your's To Hold" comes together as 2 EPs for one album, and why touring plans and timing were the cause for this kind of a release. - The theme of "Who Told You This Truth - Was It Your's To Hold" talking about how beliefs and perceptions that have been imprinted upon us can create a truth that cages you instead of setting you free, & why your opinion of you matters the most. - Colorblind not sacrificing their musical ideas to streamline into a more popular sound. A great return and a great band to get into if you havent already. Tap the subscribe button for many more like this.

  Why Rising Insane Took a Stance Against The Way of the World Today on New Album "Deathrace"

  Aug 20, 202658 min

  What is it about the world today that has us less invested in everything that we do? We pass on music after 10 seconds just because the intro to one song was odd, and then never listen to that band again. We record an entire concert on our phones and never look up, failing to live in the moment. We do everything for social media, and are beholden to an algorithm we dont understand. It wont be until the individual stands up for him/herself and says no more. If anything since the start of the 2020's has shown us, this has to be the case. But, how do we speak up and stand against the norm? Well, here is an idea. Sven from the German metalcore band Rising Insane is back on the Chord Progression Podcast once again with the band's newest album "Deathrace" available August 21st. Join us for the deep dive into the idea of the album as we talk about: - How Rising Insane was able to add the features they did on their songs to enhance the already created versions, and how they were able to be more experimental with modern riffs while still holding true to the styles that they grew up on. - The meaning of the album "Deathrace" and how it is a critique of the world since the beginning of the 2020s, a commentary that could be seen as political for a non-political band. - Why we, as a society, have become less invested & less involved in the lives we lead based on the the world focus around AI, social media algorithms, and content that is rotting our brains from the inside out. A fun album and conversation that also takes a powerful turn. Tap the subscribe button for more episodes like this.
