For Remedy, music isn’t just sound; it’s a lifeline, a reflection of struggles, and a beacon of light for their fans. With their deluxe release of A Light in the Darkness, the Northern Colorado hard rockers continue to blend ferocious energy with heartfelt introspection. The project isn’t just another album—it’s a testament to their growth as musicians and their dedication to creating music that uplifts and inspires.
“This album isn’t just a chapter for our band—it’s what we strive to be on a daily basis,” explains lead vocalist Dylan Shutt. “We’re hearing stories about how our music is helping people overcome addiction and heal. At the end of the day, it feels so good knowing we can take our faith, be creative, and actually make a difference in people’s lives.”
Since their debut release, The Villain in Me, Remedy has evolved in both sound and purpose. Known for combining raw hard rock with emotionally resonant themes, the band has drawn comparisons to genre heavyweights like Skillet, Memphis May Fire, and Wage War. But their sound has also matured. “Our early days brought four kids to the stage so eager to get music out and find our way,” says lead guitarist Nick Wood. “Yet the Remedy we know today has developed a completely new sonic attitude, with more modern and heavier parts, and aggressive vocals. We feel confident our music can reach the masses.”
This growth is evident in A Light in the Darkness, a project that has been transformative for the band, both creatively and professionally. Working with producer Taylor Hahn and mastering legend Ted Jensen elevated the album’s sonic quality to a new level. “Taylor opened the gates, allowing us to work with Ted Jensen, who has worked with artists like I Prevail, Morgan Wallen, Shinedown, and Post Malone,” Shutt shares.
“These opportunities are what local bands dream about, and we couldn’t be happier with the incredible work and impact these two guys have made.”
To maximize the impact of their music, Remedy embraced a strategic rollout for the album. From January to June 2024, they released a single every five weeks, bolstered by heavy social media content and marketing efforts. This steady flow of material culminated in the EP version of A Light in the Darkness, released over the summer. Remedy has since continued to promote the project while preparing for what’s next.
A defining element of Remedy’s appeal is their ability to integrate their faith into their music in a way that resonates with a broad audience. “Our music talks about struggles that everyone faces and allows everyone the opportunity to connect with our music, despite their alignment with our beliefs,” says Wood. “We strive to show an escape for these struggles by sharing what has been the greatest way out we’ve ever been given. If we can provide hope to people by spreading our faith whenever and wherever we can, we believe we’re living according to the purpose God designed for us.”
Looking ahead, Remedy is already laying the groundwork for a dynamic 2025. The band plans to play mainstream festivals, continue building their presence in their home state of Colorado, and push their creative boundaries with new material. “Metal continues to evolve, and we hope to establish Remedy as a band responsible for the evolution of the genre,” says Shutt.
“Most importantly, we will continue to try and show people there is a place for them in this world, no matter who they are, where they came from, or what they’re going through.”
With A Light in the Darkness set to drop and new opportunities on the horizon, Remedy’s trajectory is one of growth. For a band that started as four kids with a dream, they’ve become so much more—a beacon of hope, resilience, and connection. And for their fans, Remedy’s music remains what it has always been: a lifeline, a reflection of struggles, and a light in the darkness.
