notes

"The modern metal landscape is saturated with mediocre bands that still hold on to the antiquated notion that playing loud and fast is enough to pique the interest of fans of the genre. Given that, it's immediately refreshing to hear this California five piece giving their listeners some credit. This is structured, intelligent metal done right, ripe with darkly sophisticated lyrics and dual guitar work that forges a harshly complex sound. Sloughing off the riff-riding, straightforward assault that so many bands fall back on, they have instead managed to put together songs that strategically challenge the audience, jutting from hard to heavy, screams to echoes. All of this is achieved without a formulaic vibe, with each song hitting with equal force but from a distinctly different angle. The method is effective, bordering on a song-within-a-song approach that's sure to keep you in suspense, bracing for what is coming next."

  • Dualism At Its Finest
    author: Philip

    Etched In Red is an amazing blend of light/heavy, singing/screaming. They seem influenced by Tool, and by the rising metalcore genre, but take such influences to new heights with their innovative blend of complexity and brutality. The song "Why For An I?" is the only song not containing any "brutal" elements, but it is executed flawlessly and is one of my favorite songs on the album. The singer is tremendous, executing both singing and screaming exceptionally. The whole band seems on the same page when playing, and the tracks are brilliantly produced. I really cannot think of a reason to not buy this CD: it's innovative, brilliantly executed, wonderfully produced, and very reasonably priced. Besides which, you would be helping out a growing band who shows much promise to make it big. I would recommend this CD to anyone.

  • Awesome!

  • Masters of Metal
    author: Mike Rocket

    These guys are nothing short of phenomenal. This CD is a master piece and has blown me away from the very first time I ever heard it. There are no shortcuts, no compromises and no BS. From the first song to the last they have changed the rules, setting the bar high and most bands can only wish for such great results in a recording. This CD is the strongest fusion of aggression, melody, rock and metal that I have ever experienced and Etched In Red will always have a place in my CD player.

  • ABSOLUTE POWER
    author: Brian Boeckl

    In your face and so tight. This is better than most bands that have a full record deal. Can't get enough of this cd. I have lost some hearing and a set of speakers. Thanks guys for an awesome cd. I am sharing with as many friends as possible. Thanks to 525 powertracks for this discovery. If you are a metal fan you will not be disapointed.

  • Truely Heavy
    author: Alex Morino

    Overall, a great alternative metal band with an exceptional CD offering multiple tracks that any metal lover can dig.

  • A must have for any metal fan
    author: THONNART Vincent

    I first listened to Etched in Red on the Internet radio 525.com and was completely blown ayway by this new San Diego based band. For a first album, Dylate is very impressive with a great production. The fist three tracks are my favourites, the riffs are awesome and the way the singer screams destroy everything. But it is not non-stop screaming which increases the power and intensity of the brutal parts. Heavy with devastating riffs while melodic and easy to get into all at the same time. I HIGHLY RECOMNEND this to ANY metal fan.

  • O MY GOD, THE ENERGY!
    author: Joel Rufener

    I listen to sometimes just for the intensity and energy. Mindblowing energy, especially Paradox(my favorite right now). Just get the MotherF****** CD! Not kidding.

  • you hav got to check this out

    Dylate is the new album by the San Diego-based (arguably, progressive) metal band ETCHED IN RED, and it is the best thing I've heard in quite some time. Is there a hint of nu-metal here and there? yes. Perhaps a bit too much cookie monster growling? Maybe. Can you hear the strong influence of a certain progressive nu-metal band? sure. Does it still rip your head off? Hell, yeah. The sheer energy and force in these tunes more than overcomes any of the above-mentioned transgressions. They're angry, too, but not in an "I've had it so good my whole life that now I'm pissed off at the emptyness and meaninglessness of it all" sort of way. Hey, if an old 80's metal-head like me can appreciate it, then you know it passes the authenticity test. These guys are a band to keep an eye on. To my ear they are still "finding their voice", but it's definitely in there - you can hear what they could become. The quality of the playing itself is worth mentioning (particularly the drumming and bass - both standouts), but what really struck me were the strong song structures - accessible enough on the surface to draw you in, but underneath there is complexity, both melodic and rhythmic. They can go from full-on brutal put-your-head-thru-the-wall to lush polyrhythms without missing a beat, and then back again... And it all works. Album production appears to be by them alone, and they deserve kudos for that, too... If they can avoid being pulled into the assembly-line mill of the modern music establishment, there's no telling what they could do. This cd beats the living daylights out of most of what is being played on clear channel right now. Hear me now, believe me when you listen to this album.

    This cd has blown me away! The level of musicianship is unlike anything i've heard from any new bands. Tool fans looking for new bands will love this album-- but don't make the mistake of thinking they sound like Tool. This cd is the most original thing i've heard in years! BUY IT! NOW!

  • SIMPLY AMAZING

  • The best noise to hit my ears in years!
    author: Ross

    This cd is the best noise to hit my ears in years! I haven't heard a band this good for too long and it is great to know that there is still genuine talent out there. Buy this cd, buy it now you will not be disappointed.

  • This is a must have CD. Will blow you away.
    author: Dan The Man

    This CD is one of the best examples of modern musicians going above and beyond the sell outs who have been destroying our ears for the past years. Not only is this CD very original it also has a different feel to it from other musicians out there. When you listen to it, its like hitting a brick wall of emotion at 500 mph. If you're looking for music that is perfect in every detail then this is the music for you.
