Do You See the Dark is a three-piece beast. Seamlessly meshing eccentric metal riffs with catchy vocal melodies and hooks, the group is best defined as a progressive power-rock trio with the massive sound of artists like Tool and Pantera, the raw emotion of Nirvana and the melodic sensibilities of The Cars and Billy Joel.
DYStD has just released their latest EP, Victory Is In the Struggle. The EP is a journey through life's ups and downs; a trip through the edgy darkness frequently confronted on the path to betterment. The songs cover vast ground ranging from vigilant and political to introspective and deeply personal. The music tackles heavy subject matter while remaining uplifting; provoking listeners through deep themes interwoven with complex rhythms and savage riffs. The EP is already garnering accolades having been featured in the April/May/June issue of HM Mag's Pick of the Litter.
After several northeastern tours, DYStD has gained a strong following in the region. With Victory Is In the Struggle now available, the band has been busy serving heaping helpings of heaven-sent heaviness to music fans in the northeast.
