How Alleviate Created and Album of The Year Contender in DMNS | Interview with The Metal Supergroup

Over time, we in music have seen many members of other bands come together and form super groups. And the results always depend on overall band chemistry, and willingness to adapt to a different writing style.

This European super group shows how overall chemistry works to create great music that hits on every level from metal to post-hardcore, and why a focus on mental health made this band click on every level.

Timo (Our Mirage) from the supergroup Alleviate joins the Chord Progression Podcast today! With a new album called DMNS ready to release on August 23rd, we sit down and chat about

• The band's origin story including being inspired by an online session of GTA, and how Nik Nocturnal is involved with all of this.
• Why the band put so much focus on mental health with DMNS, including how they experienced standing by other members of the band when mental health issues arose during the writing process.
• A look into DMNS, and why the heavier backing mixed with lighter production always has the perfect contrast on every song.

A fantastic episode with fantastic music to prove to you Alleviate is here to stay. Hit the subscribe button as we are going to keep bringing you bands just like this.
