Dyed In Grey Harbinger Review

Dyed in Grey

Harbinger

Self-Released

If Opeth and Mastodon had a baby and Brandon Boyd had a groovy love child, you’d get Dyed in Grey.

Dyed In Grey is a New York based progressive metal band blending precise technical musicianship, jazz-fusion inspired harmony, and emotionally charged songwriting. Their sound bridges polyrhythmic metal, atmospheric guitar work, and dynamic interplay between melody and heaviness.

This is my first time listening to them and I’m blown away. There’s absolutely something beautiful here. Something that stands on its own and could contend with a lot of major musicians currently.

There’s a lot of cleans on this album. Be it vocals, guitar, or what have you. I was honestly pretty surprised when I didn’t hear a lot of distortion at first. There’s a lot of prog and technical elements. A unique take on time signatures. I think what makes them so innovative is how they weave the music they’re presenting us with.

There’s album does get heavier as it goes on, so there’s definitely a progression to the album that makes it just that more enjoyable to me.

They are absolutely deserving of more listeners. Go give them a chance!
