Diversity in metal music has been growing and become on of the most accepted things in music in the 2020's. But that diversity not only comes in the form of the music, but in the presentation of that music as well. It is the artists that are standing out as unique in all levels that are hitting major strides in achieving their dreams. Think Ice Nine Kills, Sleep Token, & Bring Me The Horizon.

But how is a younger band, with a lot smaller of a budget than the examples listed, going to do that when they create great music overall? They have to think outside of the box, try something completley different, and be as resourceful as possible to stand out in a crowded scene. How can that be done?


The boys from the eclectic post-hardcore/modern metal Arsenic Kitchen joined the Chord Progression Pocdast wit their new EP "Handbook for the Recently Deceased" releasing on October 24h. Join us as we discuss:


- How Arsenic Kitchen is making their music stand out visually by creating a short film for their new EP, and a full movie for their upcoming album with a full production team behind it.


- Why diversity in metal music has become so embraced, and why it gives more artists a chance to win now than ever before in the heavy music scene.


- The new EP "Handbook for the Recently Deceased" and how they took inspiration from Tim Burton for not only his film making style, but how to be rather eclectic yet consistent witht he sound in your music.


Be resourceful, and do what you can to win with your art. Be resourceful yourself by tapping subscribe by discovering great artists 2 times a week.
