"Backwoods Metal Fest Review"

Next on the metal docket was Murray, Kentucky’s own Day I Dread. I went into their set with a fresh pair of ears, having never heard any of their material previously. The band consists of members from all over the country and have quickly been making a name for themselves in the western Kentucky area, having recently released their EP entitled ‘Your Skies Will Burn’. The set began on a high note with the frantic, but tightly arranged ‘This Can’t Be True’. Vocalist, Andy Knight sounds like his lungs are going to explode on practically every song of the set. Bassist, TK, guitarist, Rick Scott and guitarist, Josh Evans combine for a formidable axe attack. But, the real star of this band is drummer, Josh Grimes. Grimes is an animal behind his set; reeling off incredible double-bass rhythms and intricate time signature changes. Highlights of the set include the energetic ‘Die for It’ and the ever-changing ‘Brother Jim’. Day I Dread is a talented group with band members that give 100%, so I can’t find any complaints in the dedication department. But, it’s my opinion that there isn’t enough diversity to their material. Vocalist, Knight, has plenty of power and stage presence but how do you gauge a singer of this genre? I like this style but the only thing that I can give a rating on, singing wise, is on pure stamina. The focus seems to be more on a stable growl than on hitting notes or performing melody lines. The music tends to blend together after a few songs due to the chordal structures. But, this could be their goal. Some bands want to play intense, ‘beat-your-face-in’ music without downshifting. Some of you reading this are probably thinking, “Slayer never wrote a love song” and you’d be right. But, I’m a fan of numerous styles and prefer to hear some variety. To each his own. - Nashville Rock

Review for the song "Just Like Lambs":

"The first five seconds of the song makes you think someone screwed up on their genre choice but, once the vox come into play you know this song is as HEAVY as they come! The Drums for this song are insane! This drummer knows how to throw fuel on the fire? The Guitar(s) are even better pumping out some impressive sounds! This Guitarist knows his way around the fret board! He plays every note like it's the final note of his life! The Vox are GOD-LIKE! Making Growls and Screams that would scare the devil away! This song has great production which is good because I hate to see songs get sucky scores over something they can't really control! The Originality is there too and I bet within the next few months will see alot of carbon copies of this band's sound! After listening to this song for the fifth time I just can't get enough of the opening riff! I'll be listening to this song for a long time to come!!!!"

Review for the song "Die For It"

"I like the way this song starts off. The drums sound great on the recording . The guitars sound really good also. I like what was done at 45 seconds into it with that break down and all. The vocals are real heavy, not your everyday screamer, not to much death and not to much scream. This song all in all rocks. From the way the sequence of timeing changes to the way it sounds this song is a keeper. Im at a loss for words you guys made me speech less Great Work."
