Etched In Embers is a hard rock band hailing from The Lake Of The Ozarks, Missouri. The foursome comprising of
Russ Rhodenizer - Guitar/Vocals, Tyler Kenyon - Lead Guitar/Vocals, Chance Rhodenizer - Bass/Vocals, Josh Newlon - Drums/Vocals have recently been drilling down on the heavier side of the band. They have several new releases slated for 2022, after working hard writing and then recording in the studio with producer Chris Dawson from Aphotic Studios this past year.
Following up on success with their previous radio singles 2020s, 'Sail The Silence' and 2021s, 'Bring Me Back' the guys have just released their heaviest, best track to date 'Fear'!
The song plunges through a mix of emotions from despair and confusion, to strength and revolution. It kicks off with a pumping, hard driven intro and follows suit with the verses, all the way to the swaying release of the chorus. Capped off by the insane monster guitar solo from Kenyon makes this track hit you with all the right feels and is definitely the much needed anthem for the world today. It could not have been released at a more perfect time.
Accompanied by a well thought out and constructed video that enhances the powerful message being put across lyrically, 'Fear' is even more of a banger seeing the anger portrayed by Rhodenizer. Switching from scenes of the band playing to ones of TV newsreels and highlighting in text what people maybe fearing makes for a great depiction of what I feel they wanted to achieve.
The guys have been busy hard at work the past year working on their sound and look for live shows as stated by Rhodenizer in the premiere for 'Fear', "We look the best we ever have, with buying new equipment, to give fans the best live experience of EIE we can". Taking a year to get things right for them has really paid off as this is truly where I feel not only should the band be but also where they want to be as they grow moving forward and I'm really excited to see what's to come.
With a heavy slate of shows scheduled this summer, with bands including: Badflower , 10 Years, Any Given Sin and more, the band is ecstatic that shows/tours have resumed to normal levels. They are ready to share the emotions of 'Fear' face to face with the crowd.
If you can make one of these shows be sure to introduce yourself to the guys and experience the Cycle Shifting with them live.

Lake of the Ozarks Missouri based Heavy Rock / Metal band ETCHED IN EMBERS has released the official music video for their new single, "Fear'! The song plunges the listener through a mix of emotions, from despair and confusion to strength and revolution. Going from the pumping and driven intro and verses, to the swaying release of the chorus, capped off with a signature Tyler Kenyon guitar solo, the song hits all the right feels, and is a much needed anthem for today's world.
The single was produced by Chris Dawson (SAUL, Any Given Sin, Lines of Loyalty), with the video filmed / directed by J.T. Ibanez, "Fear" is the band's third single with more slated to release throughout the rest of 2022. - Mad About Rock
According to a recent press release, on this song guitarist/vocalist Russ Rhodenizer takes on the need to disconnect from all the “noise” and “dissonance” we experience in our social media worlds.
Russ says: “I had to learn to not engage or debate in these online environments. It can be quite damaging to our state of mind to be surrounding ourselves with all the discontent and division. Sail the Silence is the term I used when faced with those situations. It is very empowering to be able to scroll past the wolves that attempt to bait you in.”

CHAPTER ONE
Missouri Based Rockers Etched in Embers burst onto the scene in Jan. of 2020. After spending the early months of their existence working to lay the foundation of their debut album, they were faced, as many others, with the world coming to a screeching halt. Enter the Pandemic that gripped the Nation, World, and the Music Industry squarely in its clutches. As uncertainty set in, the band decided to batten down and forge ahead behind the scenes, working around the new found obstacles laid out in front of them. Battling close calls with Covid-19, the lockdowns, and the inability to play shows, they began seeking avenues to continue work on their much anticipated debut. The Band, as fans of many of the up and coming artists that grace the Airwaves of SiriusXM Octane, as well as Radio Stations across the country, sought out the person that was instrumental in helping some of these Artists reach the next level. Enter Chris Dawson(SAUL, Any Given Sin, Lines of Loyalty, Shallowside). "Working with Chris has been an amazing experience. Not only from the musical side, but the entire Brand Building Package", says Russ Rhodenizer. "It was definitely a new and unfamiliar experience working remotely, without ever meeting Chris, or stepping foot in his studio. He made that a remarkably easy process, and we knew we were in good hands. Taking the raw tracks we had recorded back in February, Chris worked his magic, arranging and producing, turning "Sail the Silence" into a Monster, Anthemic Rock Single.
"Sail the Silence" pairs soaring harmonies and powerful lyrics, over hypnotic guitar work to pull the Listener in, and take them for a ride.
CHAPTER TWO
Etched in Embers rolled in to 2021 with some steam afforded by the success they saw with "Sail the Silence". Continuing the march toward their debut album, they entered the studio once again with Dawson, to work together co-writing the aggressive and passionate "Bring Me Back". Hitting Airwaves on July 27th, 2021, this rocker touches upon some heavy human emotion by way of a monster riff opening, a pumping rhythmic feel, and reeling it all in with a powerfully delivered chorus.
CHAPTER THREE
2022 shaped up to be a great year. As the Band prepared to release their highly anticipated Anthemic New Single 'Fear' and their heaviest song to date, ‘Your Crimes’, along with videos shot by the talented J.T. Ibanez, the focus was hitting the road and connecting with the fans. Etched in Embers found themselves playing shows supporting bands such as Badflower, 10 Years, Skillet, Theory of a Deadman, Any Given Sin, Kingdom Collapse, Crobot, The Funeral Portrait, Shallowside, The L.I.F.E. Project, Archers, and many more.
CHAPTER FOUR
Mid 2023 the band hit the studio with Kile Odell(Motionless in White, Bad Wolves, Catch Your Breath, Nita Strauss) to put the finishing touches on the Debut Album "Obsolete" which released Dec 15th. With a 12 tune span, the Album showcases the growth and diversity the band has shown over the last 2 years. The 1st Single Produced and Co-Written with Odell, "Happy Song" released on Dec 1st and went on to hit #7 on the SMR Chart. The band once again hit the stage supporting acts like Catch Your Breath, Royal Bliss, Citizen Soldier, and so many more.
CHAPTER FIVE
After the successful release of “Obsolete”, the band entered 2024 with a change in the drummer position with Josh Newlon (The Order of Elijah, Sky Falls Down, Mortal Review) stepping in to fill the role. With shows/tours throughout the year, this was the busiest year to date as the band hit the road and travelled over 4000 miles for their 1st Headlining Tour in support of the album and the radio push for “Happy Song”. As of this writing the Debut Album has amassed over a 1,500,000 streams. It was an incredible year of shows with bands like Adelita's Way, RA, Icon for Hire, Shallowside, Kingdom Collapse, a Killer's Confession, FLAW, Josey Scott, SHIM, Evan's Blue and the list goes on. Back in the studio several times with Odell over 2024, the band dropped ‘Good Friends’ in Nov 2024 as the 1st song released off the upcoming album.
CHAPTER SIX
2025…..What a year it's going to be…..It all kicks off with the 1st hometown show back supporting the Mighty Sevendust in March! ‘Gemini’ the 2nd song released off the next album, dropped in Feb 2025 and is a testament to the bands growth and a step towards their heavier side. Multiple tours on the slate for 2025 will have Etched in Embers busier than ever, and with a New Album on track for a late 2025/early 2026 release, this could be the biggest year yet.
