Artist History Dread hail from Melbourne Australia and have been playing with their current line-up since January 2000.Dread's sound has evolved over the past few years from fast hardcore/metal to Ultra heavy in your face rock. They have been likened to such bands as Sabbath, Iron Monkey and Eye Hate God etc.Earlier this year Dread released a 3 track demo CD titled "AfterBurn" which received an amazing response from the local music scence, selling over 300 copies. They have also just recently finished recording a 5 track EP which was recorded and mixed in two days at Cutting Edge Studios in Melbourne.

Press Reviews HIGH VOLTAGE Gig - May 2000 Corner Hotel, Melbourne ...Up next were DREAD, now like most people we knew that DREAD hadn't played a show for quite a while. There was some anticipation heading them, but the sound they achieved... holy shit! I couldn't believe it....was it the same band?...was it even DREAD?? HUGE, AWESOME riffs, kinda stoner but heavier, ala Iron Monkey, and the vocals, I would have to say easily one of the best vocalistsin the country. Not corny, not boring, just harsh as hell....Loved it! The set was good, with heeps of new stuff. This band has comealong way and is going to do well. Just a prediction from me. Dread Debut CD This is the debut EP from this Melbourne based Doom Metal/Stoner Rock band. This should cause a lot of interest in them as it is an excellent EP. Containing 5 tracks it is easy to hear the Black Sabbath influence (just listen to the beginning of the track "Rivit"). This EP contains so many monster metal riffs that it will give you a sore neck from headbanging. A must have for any self respecting metalhead. They are still finalising a deal for the release of this (should be any time now) or if you want to contact the band about it you can email them at vee@optushome.com.au or to listen to a couple of the songs check out their homepage
