Conscious (EP)
Conscious is an EP released by American Progressive band Dredg in 1996. It includes 4 songs; "Juggernaut", "Ignore Me", "Conscious", and "Nuhgm". The band is usually reluctant to both talk AbOUT these songs as well as play them live, so not much information is known.
Sound
Written and recorded in Dredg's earlier days, the sound is characterized by a very rhythmic, nu metal approach with strong emphasis placed on groove, heavily distorted guitars, dissonance, and an intense, untrained vocal performance from lead singer Gavin Hayes.
However, we do see hints at dredg's future melodicism and experimentation with slightly unorthodox percussion and song structures; the EP also contains insightful, reflective, almost philosophical lyrics, as opposed to the spiteful, nihilistic atmosphere often associated with this type of music.
