Dryland Biography
Dryland is a band that writes heart pounding heavy metal riffs alongside lyrics that immerse the listener in an epic, fantastic world. Their music exists somewhere in the space between Motörhead, Nick Cave, Red Fang, Danzig, and of course, Black Sabbath.
They released their first full-length album, Self-Titled, in 2017. On 4/20 of 2020 they released their "Dances with Waves" EP produced and engineered by Matt Bayles (Matt has produced Mastodon, The Sword, Pearl Jam, Botch and many more).
In 2023 Dryland entered the hallowed halls of the UNKNOWN studio in Anacortes, WA to record their second full-length album "Weekend in the Swamp". The new LP is Dryland's most sonically diverse recording to date. The songs range from vibraphone interludes and melting pianos, to punishing explosions of drop-tuned guitars. Weekend in the Swamp draws influence across heavy genres, with moments of shoegaze, thrash, stoner rock and bludgeoning doom metal. All the while the vocals maintain the urgent, storytelling style that has become the trademark of singer and lyricist Bradley Lockhart . More than once, Lockhart broaches the subject of sexual intercourse with celestial objects.
“Heavyweight riffs prove surprisingly versatile in their hands, acting as an expressive backdrop for shouted and screamed stories of esoteric adventure.” - Invisible Oranges on Weekend in the Swamp
"The massive riffs chop by way of blunt force crushing in all directions with progressive tendencies and hardcore roots. The vocals scream with infectious vigor and the bass cleans up the remains with a sweeping groove." -Bucky from Bandcamp
