How an Italian Metalcore Band Channeled Linkin Park to Discover Their True Sound

One of, if not the, most influential bands of the 21st century in rock and metal is Linkin Park. The charisma, blend or hip hop with metal, and the beautiful use of synths have inspired bands for what is, and will be generations. But who is doing it right?

We know of an Italian metalcore band who decided to take their love of Linkin Park, infuse it into their bright style of metalcore, and discover their true sound out of it.

The guys from Median rejoin the podcast for the first time in 4 years! With a new album, Chapter Three, out now, we dive deep into discussion about:

• How the band experimented with their shared love of Linkin Park in order to discover a sound that was for them, and still had their individual identities in it.
• The current state of the band's live set, why they haven't played many live shows, but understand the positive impact they need to focus on to make the best experience possible.
• Hippiecore, and what will happen if the band were to cover a song by Afroman.

We always bring you new bands to check out on the Chord Progression Podcast, and here is another one. Tap subscribe to never miss out on another great new band again.
