Why Monument of a Memory Stopped Following Metal Purist Mentality to Create Most Authentic Music Yet

Can rock and metal be considered the most authentic genres in music today? Think about it. We are seeing more and more artists with the freedom to experiment and try new things previously considered taboo, that has caused some bands to massively break through pop culture. Pop music is based off of the popular formulas, popular hip hop has a similar flow and beat in all popular songs, modern county is... well about trucks and beer.So how do rock and metal artists now continue to make more creative music that has the connection to so much more authenticity compared to other genres? Well, its based on how they write, and the freedom that they can.Dylan and Eren from the metalcore band Monument of a Memory join the Chord Progression Podcast today.
