How Royale Lynn Blends Country Background & Metal Love on New Album Black Magic

Rock & metal music have been seeing a large amount of artists blending their style with other genres to create a much larger sound and a more expansive idea of what heavy music can be. Some have hit, some need some work, and some really hit.

This artist really hit from her music making roots in country, but with her childhood containing some of the best heavy music around, she was bound to blend country and heavy music together. And when bands like Seether, Skillet, Asking Alexandria, and From Ashes to New take her out on tour before the release of her debut album, you know something is there.

That is why Royale Lynn is our guest on the Chord Progression Podcast today. As she is set to release her debut album on June 27th, being heavy music with a country blend, we aim to find out all about it. On this episode, we talk about:

- How Royale Lynn cultivated her sound growing up on a farm and in a small town where country music was king, but a love of heavy music prevailing to label her as a "metalhead from a small town."

- Why her debut album "Black Magic" put such a large focus on mental health from both a sonic perspective, and a personal want to be open and vulnerable.

- A view into the power of contrast and why the difference between her country background in singing style and songwriting stays amplified over a much heavier musical backing.

An incredible artist awaits, and much more is here to be had on the Chord Progression Podcast. Tap the subscribe button and never miss out.
