Kingdom Collapse Announces New Album "Survivor": Modern Hard Rock is Alive and Well (Part 1)

The second band we ever interviewed on the Chord Progression Podcast back in 2019, and the band that has been a guest on the podcast the most, is back once again. 7 years later, we have seen them grow to play alongside some great artists like From Ashes to New, Nothing More, and Three Days Grace. But one question was on our mind... when are we going to get that album?Well an announcement was made, and a request was issued. Hard rock never dies, and they continue to rise. You can never forget about their unbreakable spirit, and we are here to make sure you are all into it.Jonathan and Aaron from the hard rock band Kingdom Collapse return to the Chord Progression Podcast for the first time since our 500th episode. The band recently announced their new album "Survivor" releasing on October 30th. Join us as we talk about:- The band signing with Mascot Records, finding a lable that was going to let Kingdom Collapse be themselves & get behind the Unbreakable spirit, instead of trying to have them fit into a trend.- The titular single "Survivor," getting back on radio play with both Sirius XM Octane as well as FM radio, and still evoking the Unbreakable spirit even in the face of life's most challenging times.- Why the band will always put the songs first above anything else, in a world where the industry seems to be relying more on image than music. Something Kingdom Collapse is happy they don't fit in on.- Joe Alfano, and his legacy.Now you might be thinking, "you can't go into the full album this early, and in only 41 minutes!" Well you are right.
