Episode 267: Cold Night For Alligators

Nikolaj from Cold Night For Alligators, a Danish progressive metal band, is on the Chord Progression Podcast today. We talk about the bands new album, The Hindsight Notes, releasing on February 4th. We dive deep into how Covid impacted the release of the album, how the pandemic added to the significance of the album's themes, and look into some of the songs to show their alternative and forward thinking approach to progressive metalcore. If you are a fan of Swan Songs by The Plot In You, this is one you won't want to miss.   Find Cold Night For Alligators Online: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cnfaband Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cnfaband/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuaYU4z1H3hDl6rhmErvr6Q Website: http://coldnightforalligators.com Merch: https://coldnightforalligators.bandcamp.com Danish 2022 Tickets: https://linktr.ee/PrimeisComing Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/2iFIkdC4XNYlTdFSnaYPo4?si=9CnX_n3gSnW94N_7mb4fyA Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/cold-night-for-alligators/1033131421   Thank you to our sponsor Custom Debuts: http://fluroes.myshopify.com/discount/CPP10 Use code CPP10 for 10% off your order.   Thank you to our sponsor FNX Fitness: https://fnx.grsm.io/msotdrocks USE CODE "MSOTD" FOR 15% OFF YOUR ENTIRE ORDER!   Follow us on social media!   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chordprogressionpodcast   Twitter: https://twitter.com/cppodofficial   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chordprogressionpodcast/   YouTube: https://youtube.com/channel/UCqRKZCDMcFHIYbJaLQMfDbQ   Chord Progression Podcast (Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/53XWPGrIUvgavKF5Fm6SLk   Chord Progression Podcast (Apple Podcast): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chord-progression/id1454876657   Chord Progression Podcast (Amazon): https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/b8dad803-444c-4a73-8aa5-67b4fc43f4ba   Chord Progression Podcast (iHeart Radio): https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-chord-progression-70632531/   Podcast Webpage: https://mysongoftheday.com/my-song-of-the-day-rock-2000-today/chord-progression-podcast/   Intro: (0:00) Covid's impact on the album release: (4:16) How they've built and audience at home & abroad: (11:09) Reflecting on their accomplishments & growth: (19:45) How "The Hindsight Notes" gained more significance because of the pandemic: (23:50) Not taking Live Music for Granted: (34:55) Deep Dive into "Nostalgic": (42:10) Deep Dive into the Sax Solo on "No Connection": (51:32) Deep Dive into the flow on "Verism": (1:04:05) Why You Should Check Out "The Hindsight Notes": (1:16:01) Closing It Out: (1:22:56)
