“When Logan (Dal Av) approached me about doing a track together I was compelled by the futuristic ferocity of the instrumental. I wanted to bring a new level of intensity to my performance and lyrics that haven’t been displayed previously. Racing The Parallel is a story about the slim margin that exists between love and hate and how relationships can often exist somewhere in-between and fluctuate constantly.”

We are flawed, we are brief, but we are vital.

Upon Daedric’s inception in Late 2020, they had a goal to create a dark Synthwave project that established a modern fantasy element that was lacking across the dystopian-filled genre. With Geoff’s captivating production, Clay’s syncopated riffs and Kristyn’s hypnotic vocal delivery, “Wretched” was forged and set forth an inevitable sound. More importantly, it opened the doors for true exploration. Over the next year Daedric would expand their writing across multiple genres, blending metal drums and industrial grooves with an amalgamation of synth, guitar and orchestration, all leading to a diverse soundscape to showcase Kristyn’s immense vocal range.
Dal Av is a modern metal project started by guitarist Logan Young. Originally a solo instrumental project, Dal Av quickly evolved into a multi-artist collaboration project. Dal Av includes colabs from other modern metal musicians such as vocalists, guitarists and drummers. Each song has a unique feel and brings together the best minds of the underground metal industry.
