Heavy music today is more unique than ever compared to any point in history. It is more diverse in sound compared to the beginnings in the late 60s, than the boom of the 80's, than the nu metal wave of the 90's, than any other era that came before it. But something still is consistent with it, the heaviness is at the core of every artist's sound.
So how do you build off of that to keep this diversity in heavy music continuing to grow and blossom? Something differnt has to be done. Well we found a band using heavy influences as their primary accenting sound, with infectious grooves and a funky bass as their core. Best part is, you have met them here already.
Phillipp and Bastian from the German metalcore band AVRALIZE join the Chord Progression Podcast for the 2nd time. With the new album "liminal" releasing on November 14th, we get you ready for the album by discussing:
- How AVRALIZE wrote a heavy record with infections grooves and a funky bass being at the core of their sound, with metalcore influences as the accenting piece.
- AVRALIZE haivng a songwriting focus on making what they see is the best final product on each song, regardless of any resrtictions, & going beyond the scope of range of their influences.
- "liminal" songs to check out on release day, including one that could fit easily at any time over the past 50 years.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
