Dynamic Rock & Metalcore Artist Zahna Talks New Album "Break or Breakthrough" & It's Meaning of Hope

When Zahna made her way to the Chord Progression Podcast 3.5 years ago for the release of her album "Stronger Than Death," we had a deep conversation about the real life struggles, trauma, and adversity that she had to go through in life to keep living, keep her dream alive, and continue to not let the world keep her down. It was not only impactful but a reminder to keep hope and to keep faith in moments of adversity.Now with 3 and a half more years, plenty more has happened. Unfortunately, plenty more moments of adversity and challenges to one's own resolve and faith continued to come Zahna's way. And writing a new record to process through all of it, is just what artists like her do best.Zahna returns to the Chord Progression Podcast with her brand new album "Break or Breakthrough" releasing on September 4th. Join us for her return as we talk about:- How the death of Zahna's father-in-law & following chaos shook her family's foundation, yet inspired Zahna to write about processing such a painful & raw experience on "Break or Breakthrough."- Why "Break or Breakthrough" is an allegory to Donte's Inferno, yet provides hope in the sense of faith and spirituality for all of those that listen.- Bringing in synth, pop, and other styles into an experimental way with her prior rock & metalcore style onto "Break or Breakthrough"A great time meeting with yet another returning artist to the podcast.
