We all saw the emergence of Kasey Karlsen as an up-and-coming vocal powerhouse in the metal scene with her covers of Zombified by Falling in Reverse and To The Hellfire by Lorna Shore in early 2022. Since then, she has formed the band Deadlands with longtime friend CJ, to create original music and take their musical journeys to new heights.
It is now 2025, and there is new music set to come from the band. But as fans we are wondering about this new music. Is it going to show more range from Kasey? Is the songwriting going to prove this band is going to be a major player in the second half of the 2020's? And is it any good? Well, we got answers.
Kasey from Deadlands joins the Chord Progression Podcast today for your listening pleasure. With the band's newest EP, Seven, due to come out on June 27th, join us as we dive deep into Deadlands and Seven. On this episode, we talk about:
- Why 'Seven' was inspired by the seven deadly sins, the writing process behind each sin, and why gluttony focus so heavily on eating disorders.
- Each of the deep cuts and why they stand out, including why 'Wither' is an absolute banger of a song that you are going to have to get ready for.
- How writing 'Seven' proves to the world that not only has Deadlands gotten even better with the songwriting process, but how much Kasey has progressed as a vocalist.
