Daedric return with a savage alt-metal new single in ‘Only’ through FiXT.
Pushing into even heavier territory for the band, it is the fourth single from the up-and-coming Dallas, Texas-based industrial rock group and was mixed by heavily sought-after producer Joey Sturgis, known for his work with some of the biggest names in metalcore such as Of Mice & Men, Asking Alexandria, and We Came As Romans.
Blending thrashing guitars with pulsing synths, a brutal rhythm, a ruthless and at times ethereal vocal performance from frontwoman Kristyn Hope, and punctuated with thought-provoking lyrics, ‘Only‘ is an intense anthem for all of those who roam and are truly determined to be lost.

Daedric is an audacious creative venture from Dallas/Fort Worth-based vocalist and artist, Kristyn Hope, known for her work as the singer and videographer for the 4-piece progressive rock band, Aesop.
Daedric draws inspiration from an eclectic array of sources including David Bowie, Anthony Green of Circa Survive, Sia, and the popular open-world role-playing game series Elder Scrolls, from which the Daedric name is derived. In Hope’s own words, “It’s a cool ass name and I like villains.”
As Daedric, Hope works closely with producers Geoff Rockwell and Clay Schroeder to develop a mix of throwback synths blended with contemporary rock and metal, forging an individual powerful sound.
Previous single, ‘Dawnbreaker’, pushed the band’s boundaries with a vocal performance that dashes between brutal and ethereal, industrial guitars, pulsing electronics, and heavy rhythm.
“During production, we basically said “how heavy could we go if we really just went for it,” said Daedric. “And compared to other Daedric songs, the production elements actually came together pretty easy. We also like it very much.”
