Swedish Metalcore Band Self Deception Break Down New Album "One Of Us" & Shows Contrasting Chemistry

2 years ago, we brought on a band from Sweden that made us laugh and smile because they made a song about Matthew McConaughey that is wild, funny, and enjoyable on all levels. But there was so much more to their music than we realized. So with a new album coming out, we needed to run it back.Today, we did run it back, but we got even deeper into their mixture of heavy music and what makes the band go. We got deeper to understand what makes them more dynamic on their new album, how a massively contrasting personal style between all the members work in harmony to create more dense music, and why it all works on the new album.Andreas and Patrik of the Swedish metalcore band Self Deception return to the Chord Progression Podcast with their brand new album, One Of Us, releasing on May 15th. Dive into the album & the band with us as we talk about:- The writing of "One Of Us" while on the road, with the purpose of connecting the recorded music with the live show, the live emotion, and integrate it fully into the new album.- How different visions and mindsets from each member of the band contrast one another, but create a more total meatlcore sound through the chemistry and understanding of all of the members.- "One Of Us" and giving you the full preview of it, from its darker lyrical content mixed with a more bouncy & upbeat instrumentaiton with individual influences flowing through each song naturally.Make sure you dont miss out on this great band and the many others that are making their way to the Chord Progression Podcast.
