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.

Chicago’s melodic extreme metal force DREAMS OF GRAY has unveiled the lyric video for “Across the Endless Sea”, one of the most dynamic and ambitious songs from their new EP A Beginning, released today and available at the link in bio! “Across the Endless Sea” surges with blistering speed while retaining the melodic depth that defines DREAMS OF GRAY. The track features multiple vocal styles, soaring choruses born from fresh approaches to melody, and even subtle elements of black metal guitar reimagined in service of the band’s vision. The result is a powerful, emotionally charged song that explores the interconnectedness of life and how each of us is part of a greater journey, linked to both the living and those who came before. A Beginning marks a new chapter for DREAMS OF GRAY. Originally conceived as Rivera’s solo project following a long hiatus from music, the Chicago-based physician and former member of ABOLISHER returns with renewed intensity. Now a practicing Family Medicine doctor, Rivera channels the same commitment to healing into his art, crafting music that resonates with themes of grief, resilience, and existential reflection. On A Beginning, Rivera is joined by an impressive lineup of collaborators: Maria Kosma (bass), Nicole Trinchero (drums on the title track), and Scott Elliot, who provided drum programming, engineering, mixing, and mastering for “Across the Endless Sea” and “Beyond the Sky.” Josh Middleton also contributed engineering and mastering on the opening track “A Beginning.”

Emerging from the shadows of loss and into the full light of artistic rebirth, DREAMS OF GRAY announces the release of their blistering new single, “Beyond the Sky”, from the upcoming EP A Beginning, arriving September 5, 2025. The track is an unapologetic riff-driven anthem that asks deep spiritual questions while channeling the fury and force of melodic extreme metal at its most raw and relentless. “Beyond the Sky” is the most direct and aggressive track on A Beginning. It is a headbanger’s delight rooted in death metal and thrash, yet laced with DREAMS OF GRAY’s signature melodic sensibility. It is fast, it is loud, and it is destined to open live sets. Beneath the savage riffs and relentless pace lies a meditation on the eternal: a soul adrift, seeking peace in the life beyond. Based in Chicago, DREAMS OF GRAY began as Rivera’s solo project after a long hiatus from music. Formerly of ABOLISHER, a band praised in Metal Maniacs and Brave Words and Bloody Knuckles, Rivera stepped away to pursue a career in medicine. Now a Family Medicine physician, he brings the same intensity to music that he brings to his patients. A Beginning marks a powerful return. Joining Rivera on A Beginning are elite collaborators: Maria Kosma (bass), Nicole Trinchero (drums on the title track), and Scott Elliot, who provided drum programming for “Beyond the Sky” and “Across the Endless Sea”, while also handling engineering, mixing, and mastering for both songs. Josh Middleton contributed engineering and mastering on the opening track “A Beginning”. Listen to "Beyond the Sky" at the link in our bio.

Melodic extreme metal project DREAMS OF GRAY has released its latest single “A Beginning,” the first track from the upcoming EP A Beginning, due out September 5th, 2025. Accompanied by a compelling lyric video, the song is now streaming on all major platforms, offering fans a powerful, emotionally rich glimpse into what’s next for the Chicago-based band. Driven by a mixture of melody, melancholy, and unflinching heaviness, “A Beginning” captures the emotional heart of DREAMS OF GRAY’s sound. The track flows from introspective clean passages to explosive riffs and layered vocals—ranging from soft-spoken to guttural growls—all while remaining grounded in memorable songwriting. The lyric video, now live on the band’s official YouTube channel, enhances the track’s introspective power, visualizing themes of grief, reflection, and emotional rebirth. Lyrically, the song poses a deeply human question: when someone we love dies without seeing everything they hoped to see in life, how do those left behind begin to make sense of that loss? It's a meditation on sorrow and survival, carried forward by the unmistakable intensity of Luis Rivera, who handles all vocals and guitars. Rivera, also a practicing Family Medicine Physician, brings a rare emotional intelligence to his songwriting—blending the cerebral with the cathartic. “A Beginning” also features Nicole Trinchero on drums and Maria Kosma on bass, with mixing, engineering, and mastering handled by Josh Middleton (SYLOSIS, ex-ARCHITECTS), whose production brings clarity and power to every detail. The result is a debut single that feels both deeply personal and universally resonant. Following the international acclaim of their 2023 EP The World After, DREAMS OF GRAY continues to earn a place among metal’s rising voices—praised for their unique fusion of melodic death, doom, thrash, and classic heavy metal influences. A Beginning promises to further that trajectory with three new tracks that expand on their signature sound while pushing new creative boundaries. Watch "A Beginning" at the link in our bio.
