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.

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.
