How In Hearts Wake Began a New "Incarnation" of the Band with New Album, And Went HEAVIER!

When a long time band member leaves the band, the remaining members have many decisions to make about their music. Do they continue on as is without that person? Do they find a replacement? How will the music change? These questions must be answered.

That happened this this heavy Australian band, and they found the answer recording their new album in the middle of a Michigan winter. And the results, let's just say, are better than you could expect.

Jake from the Australian metalcore band In Hearts Wake joins the Chord Progression Podcast today. With the band releasing the new album, Incarnation, on July 12th, we dive deep into the album talking about

• How Kyle's departure from In Hearts Wake forced the band to reevaluate where they wanted to go with their music, and how it brought them a much needed creative challenge.
• Recording the entire album in the middle of winter in Michigan, forcing the band to live in the reality and headspace of this much heavier record.
• Using vulnerability as a strength, and why the band did weekly personal check ins with one another during the recording process.
