It is a true joy when we are able to watch a musician and an artist grow over the course of the almost 8 years that we have been doing the Chord Progression Podcast. We get to see them gain more fans, make a larger impact in the world around them, and take a step back to see that they are truly living their dream. We have had many of those artists come through the podcast. And this one, exemplifies all of it.
From our first conversation at the end of 2021 with some new music in tow and trying to get more people into it, we have seen this band play larger shows, take risks, and grow all along the way. Metalcore is in a good spot with this band around. And now with a new album out that has more of a bite to it, along with some big life changes along the way, you have to root for this band.
Damon from the Michigan metalcore band Of Virtue rejoins the Chord Progression Podcast for the 5th time, while on the road in Europe as the band is supporting the release of their new album “Death of the Altar” which is out now. Join us for another great 5 timer as we talk about:
- The release of “Death of the Altar” and why Of Virtue is looking at the bigger picture of this album, by being thankful that they are able to live their dream of playing the music that they made, for people all across the world.
- Damon’s update as he is about to become a father for the first time, and his ability to use his music experience over so many years to be the best dad that he can possibly be.
- “Death of the Altar” and why the music has an increased bite to it, but why the writing foundation of the whole album had the idea of the live crowd interaction in mind.
