About the band: Dreadnought emerged in 2012 in Denver with a goal to blend heavy, intricate metal with melodic passages and improvisational flair. The core players—Kelly Schilling (vocals/violin), Jordan Clancy (guitars), Kevin Handlon (bass), and Lauren Vieira (drums)—have been complemented by various collaborators over the years, creating a robust, evolving sound palette. Their music invites listeners into a study of contrasts: fierce intensity and delicate texture, propulsive rhythm and expansive atmosphere.
Discography highlights show steady creative output, including The Endless (2022, Profound Lore), Emergence (2019, Profound Lore), A Wake In Sacred Waves (2017, Sailor Records), Bridging Realms (2015, self-released), and Lifewoven (2013, self-released). The Endless marked a notable milestone with its mid-2022 release and the single Midnight Moon, underscoring the band’s enduring relationship with Profound Lore Records for multiple projects.
On the live circuit, Dreadnought has shared stages with influential acts such as Yob and Cave In in 2023, headlining tours across the United States, and continuing to expand their footprint with highly regarded performances. The 2025 North American tour with Witching (May 9–17, 2025) will visit Richland, Seattle, Portland, Eugene, Sacramento, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, and Denver, offering fans a chance to experience their immersive, genre-spanning sound in a live setting.
