After the album hit music stores, Dredg acquired an almost immediate cult following thanks to Leitmotif's unique sound and concept. There has also been a movie planned for release as a music video for the entire album, though the project has been scrapped due to the death of the lead actor. El Cielo, Dredg's proper Interscope debut, arrived in autumn 2002, and Deftones producer Terry Date was at the helm for their 2005 effort Catch Without Arms. A video for the single "Bug Eyes" was released. In the spring of 2006, Dredg played on the Taste of Chaos tour. In November of 2006, Dredg released "Live at the Fillmore."
Industry Demos is a collection of four songs from 2001 that Dredg recorded before they were signed to impress record labels. The four songs are "Of the Room", "Redrawing the Island Map", "Running Through Propellers", and "The Papal Insignia." Despite the fact that the band has not spoke out about these songs, and has not played them as of late (although "Propellers" has made an appearance on setlists prior to the release of CWOA), these songs remain very popular with fans. Of the Room was rerecorded and released on Dredg's second album El Cielo.
El Cielo, their second album, which was released on October 8, 2002, is also a concept album. Prominent influences on the album's concept and themes are painter Salvador Dalí's life and a particular painting, Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bumblebee around a Pomegranate One Second Before Awakening (the first track on the album is named "Brushstroke:dcbtfoabaaposba").
On June 21, 2005, Dredg's third album, Catch Without Arms, was released. A video for the single "Bug Eyes" was released. For the spring of 2006, Dredg played on the Taste of Chaos tour, which also featured Deftones, Atreyu, Thrice, and Story of the Year as headlining bands. Also, Dredg headlined their own tour with Ours and Ambulette to hit cities that they did not tour in during the TOC tour (they came on the TOC tour about mid-way through).
Dredg also composed the score for the 2006 independent film, Waterborne. [1]
In addition to music, Dredg also creates artwork, which is available for viewing on the band's official website. Drew Roulette's works have twice appeared on shirts released by Artus.
On May 11, 2006, Dredg recorded their performance for a live CD entitled "Live at The Fillmore". Dredg announced in a MySpace bulletin on October 9, 2006 that the CD is available for pre-sale [2] and that it will be released on November 7 2006. Remixes that currently exist are Dan The Automator's "Sang Real" and Serj Tankian's "Ode To The Sun." Both songs are off Catch Without Arms. The "Sang Real" remix is being made available as an added bonus for purchasing "Live at the Fillmore" off of iTunes. It is currently unknown what will become of the "Ode to the Sun" remix, or if the "Sang Real" remix will see wider release.
In the beginning of August 2006, Dredg announced that they would be playing two "special events" back-to-back on September 14 and September 15, 2006 at The Catalyst in Santa Cruz, California. It was later revealed that the special events would be Leitmotif performed in its entirety on the first night and El Cielo in its entirety on the second night. Both nights would also features selections from Catch Without Arms. Recordings of these shows can be obtained via archive.org in FLAC format (the links can be found on the news page of traversing.net). Videos of the two shows are currently being edited by fans who recorded the shows. An early version of "It's not worth it" was performed on each night.
On November 7 through November 10, 2006, Dredg debuted a new song, "Ireland," at instore performances that were held in California to promote the release of their first live album, Live At The Fillmore. Along with the new song, selections from Catch Without Arms & El Cielo were played, as well as "The Warbler," which has only been officially released as a live track on the Fillmore CD.
The band appeared in the 2007 membership list for The Coterie with honorary membership.
The name Dredg comes from the English word dredge, which in its verbal usage, means to unearth or widen/deepen a river or channel (the device used for doing this is also called a dredger). The band picked the name in its earlier, heavier days, when they thought it was very descriptive of their sound.

dredg Lyrics
Bring back those good old days
Nothing feels right
Nothing ever goes my way
I threw my future away
Now I'll walk alone out here in the cold
Wandering astray
Where's my future
Gonna need a home
You'd expect the same now wouldn't you
Wouldn't you
Your journey back to birth
Is haunting you
It's haunting you
Your departure from the Earth
Is haunting you
It's haunting you
Only those who accept
Will find that acceptance in return
We have been trimmed down like hedges
Told just to sit
And wilt and spit at each other from a distance
With constant resistance from you
Gonna need a home
You'd expect the same now wouldn't you
Wouldn't you
Your journey back to birth
Is haunting you
It's haunting you
Your departure from the Earth
Is haunting you
It's haunting you
It's been ten years strong
That's much too long
It's time to do something good for my health
Time to do something good myself
It's been ten years strong
That's much too long
It's time to do something good for my health
Time to do something good myself
I've wasted all of this time
I've wasted all of this time
Your journey back to birth
It's haunting you
It's haunting you
Your departure from the Earth
It's haunting you
It's haunting you
Your journey back to birth
It's haunting you
It's haunting you
Your departure from the Earth
It's haunting you
It's haunting you

I listened to this song for the first time 12 years ago.
Back in the day i didn't understood the lyrics, but the music felt like a nostalgia knife going directly into my soul.
Now that im 33 years, i really think the lyrics fit into me.
Dredg makes me think about my life.
This first verse is like a mirror to me:
Bring back those good old days
Nothing feels right, nothing ever goes my way
I threw my future away
Now I'll walk alone, out here in the cold
Wandering astray
Where's my future?
Thanks Dredg, for creating music that brings me back to those good old days every time i listen to it.
Please, come to Mexico before my departure from the earth...

Bring back those good ol' days
Nothing feels right
Nothing ever goes my way
I threw my future away
Now I walk alone
Out here in the cold
Wandering astray
Where's my future?
I'm gonna need a home
You'd expect the same, now wouldn't you, wouldn't you?
Your journey back to birth its haunting you it's haunting you
Your departure from the earth, its haunting you, it's haunting you
Only those who accept will find that acceptance in return
We have been trimmed down like hedges,and told just to sit,
And wilt, and spit at each other from a distance
With constant resistance from you
Gonna need a home
You'd expect the same now wouldn't you, wouldn't you?
Your journey back to birth is haunting you, it's haunting you
Your departure from the earth is haunting you, it's haunting you
It's been ten years strong, thats much too long
It's time to do something good for myself
Time to do somethin' good for my health
It's been ten years strong, thats much too long
It's time to do something good for myself
Time to do somethin' good for my health
I've wasted all this time, I've wasted all this time
Your journey back to birth is haunting you, it's haunting you
You departure from the earth is haunting you, it's haunting you
Your journey back to birth is haunting you, it's haunting you
Your departure from the earth is haunting you, it's haunting you

34 and I first saw them in DC at 930 Club opening for Deftones. The crowd boo'd them off stage so I saw them when they were headlining with Circa Survive. They also played with Day One Symphony which also has a similar vibe to this song, if you can find AVICIOUSCYLE by them, check it out. These songs take me back because it's exactly when I decided to become a musician. Cheers.

@Elisa Yranheila y ahora a esta edad (30) esta canción pega aún más fuerte u.u supongo que tuviste una crisis existencial y de alguna manera volviste a dredg, luego el viaje de recuerdos de la adolescencia, que hice bien? que hice mal?, Estoy en el camino correcto? ... Rayos que buena canción!!! ... Es la primera vez que sé que a alguien latino/hispano le gusta esta hermosa canción :)

It just kills me how underrated this band is. There's not a single track in this album I skip.

@The Big Dog I've been to a bunch of their shows. Anytime they came to town I would go. It was a small venue and only half full every time but they would still put on a show like it was a packed stadium. Such a great band.

Man... I saw them in Hartford there was like 20 people. I was saw angry
