Etched in Embers

Etched In Embers is a hard rock band hailing from The Lake Of The Ozarks, Missouri. The foursome comprising of

Russ Rhodenizer - Guitar/Vocals, Tyler Kenyon - Lead Guitar/Vocals, Chance Rhodenizer - Bass/Vocals, Josh Newlon - Drums/Vocals have recently been drilling down on the heavier side of the band. They have several new releases slated for 2022, after working hard writing and then recording in the studio with producer Chris Dawson from Aphotic Studios this past year.

Following up on success with their previous radio singles 2020s, 'Sail The Silence' and 2021s, 'Bring Me Back' the guys have just released their heaviest, best track to date 'Fear'!

The song plunges through a mix of emotions from despair and confusion, to strength and revolution. It kicks off with a pumping, hard driven intro and follows suit with the verses, all the way to the swaying release of the chorus. Capped off by the insane monster guitar solo from Kenyon makes this track hit you with all the right feels and is definitely the much needed anthem for the world today. It could not have been released at a more perfect time.

Accompanied by a well thought out and constructed video that enhances the powerful message being put across lyrically, 'Fear' is even more of a banger seeing the anger portrayed by Rhodenizer. Switching from scenes of the band playing to ones of TV newsreels and highlighting in text what people maybe fearing makes for a great depiction of what I feel they wanted to achieve.


The guys have been busy hard at work the past year working on their sound and look for live shows as stated by Rhodenizer in the premiere for 'Fear', "We look the best we ever have, with buying new equipment, to give fans the best live experience of EIE we can". Taking a year to get things right for them has really paid off as this is truly where I feel not only should the band be but also where they want to be as they grow moving forward and I'm really excited to see what's to come.

With a heavy slate of shows scheduled this summer, with bands including: Badflower , 10 Years, Any Given Sin and more, the band is ecstatic that shows/tours have resumed to normal levels. They are ready to share the emotions of 'Fear' face to face with the crowd.

If you can make one of these shows be sure to introduce yourself to the guys and experience the Cycle Shifting with them live.

According to a recent press release, on this song guitarist/vocalist Russ Rhodenizer takes on the need to disconnect from all the “noise” and “dissonance” we experience in our social media worlds.

Russ says: “I had to learn to not engage or debate in these online environments. It can be quite damaging to our state of mind to be surrounding ourselves with all the discontent and division. Sail the Silence is the term I used when faced with those situations. It is very empowering to be able to scroll past the wolves that attempt to bait you in.”

Enjoy & share! –Frank_O -
