DRED's merch is now available to buy online on our MySpace page (they will be available from dred.com.au soon too). Every cent we make from the sale of these items will go back into the band to help us record new music and play live.

If you've downloaded our EP and enjoyed it please consider buying it or even a shirt to show your appreciation. Doing so will allow us to continue releasing new music well into the future!

To the many who have already bought merch at gigs - we can't thank you enough. We wouldn't be able to do this with out your support.

2007.12.09 // To everyone who came to ERINA 8/12/07

You guys are awesome. It was aa honour to play our final show of the year in front of you. We've played at a lot of venues, but so far none have moshed harder or growled louder than you.

Once again, many thanks go out to Troy and Danny from Black Asylum for putting on the show. Great work as always. Also thanks to all the people who had a chat after the show, we really appreciate that.

We've got some crazy footage of the night that we'll be putting up on YouTube very soon.

See you in '08!

2007.07.07 // DRED in '06/'07

In March '06 we began recording material for our debut release. While originally intended only as a demo, the results exceeded our expectations. This can be attributed in part to the contributions of some exceptional people including Eliran Kantor who did our artwork and Daniel Leffler who mixed the record for us.

By early '07 the "A Path To Extinction" EP was ready for release. We decided that the first run of CD replications would be somewhat of a present to the metal scene and so we have given out hundreds of free copies to metalheads all over the world, not to mention thousands of downloads from the website and MySpace.

A year after work began on the EP in March '07, the band was approached by Paul Shedlowich from Vetti Vision to appear on his show, to make some videos and showcase songs from the EP. Once again, we were lucky enough to work with someone who would really exceed our expectations.

The Absent From Entity video premiered on the Australian music video show/institution RAGE on Friday the 13th of April, headlining the metal hour along with some of our favourite metal acts. The Animal, Man... Machine video followed shortly after on Friday the 15th of June and both have made regular appearances on RAGE ever since.

Since then we've been on a heavy practising schedule preparing for upcoming shows while working hard on new material with new songs ready to go and many more on the way.

2007.07.07 // New DRED Website

It's been a long time coming, but the website it finally here. It'll serve as a more reliable source of DRED related information than MySpace which seems to be having its fair share of problems at the moment.

If you have any comments or questions please send us an email at management@dred.com.au. We'd love to hear from you!
