How Windwaker Expanded Their "Gumbo Pot" of Sound on New Record HYPERVIOLENCE

2 years ago, we had the pleasure of having Windwaker on the podcast for the first time, and that was to discuss their debut album, Love Language.

But now it is 2024 and things have (and have not changed). A new album is upcoming, a new lead singer has “returned” to the band, and their massive growth has led them to embark on their first ever tour to the US. So how did this happen, and what does the new album have in store?

Today, Liam from Windwaker joins the Chord Progression Podcast before the release of the new album HYPERVIOLENCE and the band’s first ever tour in the USA. So, we discuss:

– How Windwaker created a “gumbo pot” of sound at their core, mixing in metalcore, black metal, pop, and hip hop all into one.

– The creation of HYPERVIOLENCE and how it flows from more of the Windwaker sound focused on metalcore, to focused more on hip-hop infusion as the album goes on.

– Windwaker coming over the to USA for the first time supporting Northlane, and why they should open their set with a heavy track.

A great catch-up with Windwaker if you are familiar with them, and a great introduction if you are not. Want to discover more bands like this? Hit that subscribe button.
