Artists that we have followed for years on the podcast continue to grow to success that most never thought they would get. And we love to not only show how far they have gotten, but how much more they still have left to go. It is all based on a commitment to making the best music, and a willingness to make the sacrifices to get there.
There is a band that we interviewed all the way back in 2021 that many never knew of. Now, you have heard them all over Octane, have seen them play live supporting mainstay artists in modern metalcore like Electric Callby & Catch Your Breath, and there is no signs of stopping. Now with album number 3 about to release, what do they have in store for us?
Patrick and Cody from the modern metalcore band If Not For Me return to the Chord Progression Podcast for the 4th time as the band is set to release their 3rd album "Where The Light Begins To Fade" on August 14th. With the new album releasing, we get into it with the band by talking about:
- The non-stop touring, writing, and growth If Not For Me has done since the release of "Everything You Wanted" in 2024, and the sacrifices that the members of the band made in order to achieve their goals.
- What new ideas and musical stylings did If Not For Me work with and discover on "Where The Light Begins To Fade," to expand the boundaries of higher pitched electronics & heavier metalcore fills.
- How the lack of a theme allowed "Where The Light Begins To Fade" to be written around the massive amount of change and understanding reflection the band went through over the past 2 years.
This is always fun, and 750 episodes later, we are still going strong. Hit the subscribe button soo that we can get to 1000 episodes with you on board.
