On this episode of All Consuming Podcast, we hang out with Justin from Propositions to talk about his new song “Death Plan” featuring Unworthy.Justin breaks down what it looks like to be the one-man force behind Propositions, writing the riffs, vocals, bass, drums, and bringing songs as far as he can before handing them off for that final production push. We also get into the origin of Propositions, how grief and loss helped push him toward creating heavy music, and how bands like Pipebomb helped him realize he could build something powerful on his own.The main focus of the episode is “Death Plan”, a heavy, deathcore-leaning track centered on the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. Justin talks about the song’s meaning, how the title came from his son, and how the feature grew from a vocal spot into having most of Unworthy involved in the track.We also talk about Christian heavy music, bold gospel-centered lyrics, the difference between being a Christian band and Christians in a band, the Heavy Collective, group shouts, dream tours, Bloodlines, Sleeping Giant, Holy Name, and why this scene still feels like a place where worship and heavy music can collide in a real way.Stream “Death Plan” by Propositions featuring Unworthy, and then come hang out with us for the conversation behind it.
