The idea of the concept album is not a new thing. Many bands have taken us on wild rides and stories of curiosity, self reflection, and rediscovery through ideas of space, fantasy, and fiction.This time we have a band that has completely taken their sound to a new level, with an EP that takes you through a Twilight Zone-style reflection of all you could be, to help you appreciate where you are, and help you further where you can go in life.Brent from the Louisville post-hardcore band Greyhaven joins us on the podcast today!

It has been said that a band really doesn't fully discover their sound until their 3rd album. It may not be 100% true, but it is something many people look at.We have a German band returning to the podcast for the 3rd time, on their 3rd album, and they say they have found their sound that is truly them, and allows for expansion in the future. And... we agree.Robin, Lela, and Vale from Venues join the podcast for the band's 3 appearance. The band's new album, Transience, releases on March 28th, so we dive into the album talking aboutHow Venues fully discovered their sound on this album, going with more of a modern metal style that still incorporates heavier metalcore elements, and more sonically flowing vocals to maximum effect.The final song Coming Home, and why the band has not been able to get through the song without crying.Why the band has continued to grow every year, coming closer to a potential US tour.

When a band jumps from record label to record label, the typical stereotype is not the best for the band. But what about a band that graduates from small developmental label, to a larger developmental label, to a major label, in under 3 years? That is success that needs to be noticed.Couple that with a brand new album, an evolving sound around their core roots, and the will and tenacity to try and become the next breakout band following in the footsteps of Spiritbox, Bad Omens, and Sleep Token, and you have an emerging powerhouse on your hands.Patrick and Hayden from the metalcore band If Not For Me rejoin the Chord Progression Podcast for the 3rd time, right before the release of their second album, Everything You Wanted.
