The Ripple Effect: The Music Commentary Radio Show  

One might think that when Eryn Non Dae. signed with Metal Blade that things might be cheerier for the lads. And, though the individual members of the band might be excited and hopeful, the music that they’ve created is anything but. Hydra Lernaia is one of those uber-dense pieces of music that portrays a world of darkness and despair, but not in the evil, satanic, boogey-man is gonna’ get ya’ kind of way. Think more along the lines of, “Gee, I have no education because my family was too poor to send me to school, but I can’t get a job to pay for further schooling because I have no education. So I guess I’ll just enlist in the military and die for a cause that I don’t believe in.” I’m not saying that the guys from Eryn Non Dae. are uneducated . . . far from it. In fact, they speak with the aged wisdom of sages, and it comes out in the music. They see what’s going on out there. They’re not fools. And they’re more than happy to spread their dark outlook to anyone who’ll take the time to listen.
