about
Hailing from Auckland, In Dread Response are a melodic death metal quintet who, over the last few years, have earned their title as the zealous flag bearers of this genre in New Zealand. Formed in 2005, In Dread Response set out to create an ambitious amalgamation of doom, thrash, and death metal underscored by a dark, dynamic atmosphere with an unmistakably cinematic quality. This sonic molotov cocktail, combined with a highly energetic, aggressive and somewhat theatrical stage presence, ensures that the band raises the roof at every venue where they perform, carrying enough stadium sized dual-harmonic leads and face-melting riffs to build a soundscape of epic proportions at each show. With their 2008 Deadboy/Universal Records debut clocking in at just under 62 minutes, it is clear that In Dread Response are prepared to do battle with their European genre-buddies in delivering absolute melodic metal bliss every second of the way. 'From the Oceanic Graves' is one of those albums that you can actually judge by its cover, which vividly evokes images of a bloody dogfight at sea, complete with tragedy and turmoil, victory, and valour. Swelling with a near-chaotic blend of pummeling percussion and raw, relentless vocal brutality, all interlaced with carefully orchestrated guitar leads that constantly sweep in and out of heaving crescendos, this album stirs up one hell of an aural perfect storm.
