Just found this great review by Metalnoise.net of the last EP! They really understood what I wanted to do with the music and gave a great description. I was surprised by the Alice in Chains and Testament comparisons, but I'll take it! Read the whole review at the link in my bio. Also, keep an eye out for an announcement about the upcoming EP! 🤘🏽#heavymetal #melodicdeathmetal #thrashmetal #testament #aliceinchains by @dreamsofgray

Check out the video for “Across the Endless Sea” on YouTube! Link in bio. It’s the first official performance video for Dreams of Gray. A huge thank you to @maria.kosmabass for the amazing bass performance, @ronguloyphotography for the incredible videography, and @jesslaimieritz for the recommendation! This song is important to me, not only because of its powerful themes but it’s also my favorite Dreams of Gray song to date. We filmed at locations that are significant to me and many in Chicago, especially the Southeast Side. Enjoy the video and don’t forget to check out the rest of the EP! 🤘🏽#melodicdeathmetal #doommetal #metal #metalvideo #metalhead by @dreamsofgray

DREAMS OF GRAY's "Across The Endless Sea" is powerful with high intensity while also incorporating catchy chorus vocal melodies, and elements from other subgenres such as characteristics of black metal guitars. Accompanied with a cinematic video, "Across The Endless Sea" considers the interconnected nature of our lives. We are all on our individual paths through life and while some connections are long-lasting, others may only be fleeting.

On the lyrical theme, vocalist and guitarist Luis Rivera explains, "the song glimpses the idea of the interconnectedness of life. You are not just you; you are connected to others, some of whom are still here, while others have departed. You, too, are on a journey. You, too, are a connection for others."

DREAMS OF GRAY's newest EP, A Beginning, marks a new chapter of sonic exploration leading further into melodic realms across extreme subgenres. Led by Luis Rivera, the project's sound draws from a wide array of melodic death and doom, along with elements of thrash and traditional heavy metal. On the EP Rivera was joined by Maria Kosma on bass, with drums on "A Beginning" performed by Nicole Trinchero, and drum programming on "Beyond the Sky" and "A Beginning" by Scott Elliot.

Produced by Luis Rivera, "A Beginning" was recorded, mixed and masted by Josh Middleton at Josh Middleton Studio. "Beyond the Sky" and "Across the Endless Sea" both recorded at Chernobyl Audio Studio and mixed and masted by Scott Elliot. by @dreamsofgray

Music has been incredibly therapeutic throughout my life. Regardless of the challenges I face or the hardships I encounter, I can always find clarity by playing the guitar, writing music, or listening to my favorite bands. This allows my mind to be free from the chatter and noise that often surrounds us. I would love to hear how music has impacted your life. Please feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below.
