Direlands is an American heavy metal band from Houston, Texas.

Drawing inspiration from all genres of metal, tapping into the zeitgeist of doom, and prevailing dystopic worldview, they craft apocalyptic songs that couple crushing riffs with aggressive, soaring harmonies and thundering beats. Their aim is to transport the listener across time and see what they can bring back from beyond the abyss.

This epic follow-up to Direlands first EP »The Cave You Fear« showcases new elements in the band’s writing and musical process. Another self-recorded, self-released effort lands a juggernaut of heavy riffs, blasting beats and vicious vocals. The thematic influences continue their path to apocalypse with a focus on the technology revolution.
