Description/Review

One of the newer bands on the scene, Dyed In Grey is just one of those groups that, pretty much from the get-go, you know these guys should be/need to be huge.  At least huge in this rarefied style of modern, progressive, djent metal.  Yeah, I’ll give the Periphery lads major props for basically creating their brand of heavy, technical metal that’s often spiced with a dose of contemplative ambience as well as a pretty equal mixture of clean and harsh vocals.  That aside, Dyed’s trademarks are heavy, harmonically inventive chords, knockout jazz fusion-inspired guitar lines, inventive rhythms and, in what maybe sets this band apart from other djent style bands, some pretty goddamn great melodic hooks.  You know ‘em, the kind of hooks that stick with you for days rather than on some albums that you dig a ton when you hear ‘em but can’t remember a friggin’ note as soon as they end.  These guys have some serious musical ambitions and seemingly do have the chops to pull it off while managing to keep their music both grounded and accessible.
