Kingdom Collapse Releases "Survivor": Hard Rock Debut Album Deep Dive with Jonathan NorrisKingdom Collapse Releases "Survivor": Hard Rock Debut Album Deep Dive with Jonathan Norris

7 and a half years we have had Jonathan Norris of Kingdom Collapse come to the Chord Progression Podcast. From when they were just a small band starting to break out of the San Antonio scene, to them picking up support shows with Three Days Grace, Nothing More, and Hinder. All throughout that time, the band has continued to release new music and grow as a larger touring act. But the one thing that we have been waiting for, their debut album, seemed to never come. Then in June 2026, we got word that Kindgom Collapse were announcing their debut album releasing at the end of October, and we had the guys on the podcast to talk about the singles, releasing their debut album, and what it all meant. However with the time we had, we were not able to dive deep into the new album with the band like we normally would. We wanted to make sure we gave the quintessential Chord Progression Podcast band their due, and do an episode where we deep dive the album and get you ready for it. And right now, that promise has been fulfilled. Jonathan Norris from Kingdom Collapse is back for the 7th time and finally, their debut album “Survivor” is releasing on October 30th. This is the deep dive album episode that you have been waiting for as we talk about: - Why “Survivor” by Kindgom Collapse speaks to the ethos of self worth & empowerment to one’s self through their hard rock sound, the message the band always wants to project. - Diving deep into the non-singles on “Survivor” for an in depth preview of what inspired each track to speak to the Kingdom Collapse ethos. - Why Kingdom Collapse believes their own message to break through the negativity in their own lives and the negativity directed at the band. This episode was a long time coming and was well worth it. Tap the subscribe button because we are not stopping.
