How Until I Wake Created a Metalcore Masterpiece with Renovate Album: Interview with Jaali

The term “no-skip album” is not a term that gets thrown around lightly in the music industry. It is reserved for those albums in which every song has to stand out, needs to have its own unique, yet cohesive, feel to it, and easily be an album of the year candidate. Yet, we are throwing that term around for this band today.

From bringing on a new lead singer since their last album, being locked in a Michigan AirBnb to write this record, and allowing creativity to flow while being guided by Landon Tewers of The Plot in You, this band achived a no-skip album.

Jaali from the metalcore band Until I Wake joins the Chord Progression Podcast, as we are on the heels of the release of the band’s no-skip album Renovate. Join us on this episode of greatness as we discuss:

– How Jaali joined the band 9 days before going out on tour to support Imminence, and how seriously he took to improving his clean vocals following his first time playing live with Until I Wake.

– Writing Renovate with Landon Tewers, and how the writing processed allowed each member to maximize their own style in both an individual and collaborative way.

– The songs that both Jaali and Kevin are suggesting you check out on Renovate, a 2024 Album of the Year candidate.

Easily one of the best albums we have heard all year, and a great conversation to add to it. Don’t miss out on discovering great new bands, or enjoying an in-depth look at the bands you already love. Hit subscribe and become part of the family.
