It is only human that songwriting evolves over time, regardless of the genre. Rock music, metal music, any kind of heavy music really undergoes an evolution in songwriting as life, culture, and history change around us. But it is slow.
However, many artsits experienced a massive shift in songwriting style 5 years ago when the Covid-19 pandemic threw the entire world into isolation. So how has songwriting changed because of the pandemic, what are its impacts in 2025, and how have bands gotten better because of it.
They guys in Wounded Touch, a metalcore band out of Michigan, join the Chord Progression Podcast today. The band's second album "A Vivid Depiction of Collapse, is releasing on May 16th. Discover the band and the album as we dive deep into:
- A history of Wounded Touch, and how they wrote Americanxiety during the pandemic isolated, aggressive, and exposing their pissed off mindset during that time.
- Writing A Vivid Depiction of Collapse together with a new perspective in order to cerate a cohesive & collective human emotion and experience.
- The non-singles we are amped up for everyone to hear from A Vivid Depiction of Collapse on release day.
