Episode 321: Opponent

Andrew from the Seattle metal band Opponent is here on the Chord Progression Podcast today. The band released their new album Sentinel earlier in July, and we dive deep into the entire idea of the album and the band. Andrew discusses his purpose for writing to say something to help out those who listen to the music, taking accountability and seeing that you are your own worst enemy, giving yourself permission to live your life, and the depth Sentinel has to achieve all of this. This is an inspirational episode and is a must listen and watch.
