Featuring stripped-down reinterpretations of fan favorites “Iridescent Wings,” “Sand Tiger,” and “Dreamweaver,” RE:FORMED reveals a more intimate side of the band while preserving the emotional weight and intensity that define Daedric’s sound. The accompanying documentary features a look behind the scenes, details the creation of the songs, and the thought process behind RE:FORMED.
“The approach to the RE:FORMED EP was more than just rehashing songs from As The Light Left as acoustic versions of the same thing,” says Daedric. “It was about creating something new out of our emotions and experience of the album. These acoustic songs have become more like a rebirth in such a cathartic sense, and the reworking and restructuring of each track allowed us to explore that concept in our own time.“
More than a collection of acoustic recordings, RE:FORMED serves as a creative reimagining of material from As The Light Left. Through careful restructuring and reinterpretation, Daedric uncovers new emotional dimensions within the songs, trading sonic aggression for vulnerability while preserving the spirit that made the originals resonate with listeners. The result is a release that stands on its own, offering a fresh perspective on the band’s evolving artistry.
Daedric is an alternative rock and metal project led by vocalist and artist, Kristyn Hope, alongside producer Geoff Rockwell. Daedric draws inspiration from an eclectic array of sources including the open world role-playing game series, The Elder Scrolls, from which the Daedric name is derived. The musical soundscape can best be described as “all killer, no filler” (according to Metal Epidemic) with a dance of hypnotic synths, elaborate grooves, and intensely dynamic vocals.
Kristyn launched the Daedric project in 2021 through a partnership with electronic rock label FiXT. With the debut full-length album, Mortal, and a May 2025 tour supporting TesseracT under Daedric’s belt, the project has solidified its hold on the line between rock and metal, with promises to tighten its grip on listeners’ ears. The band continues forward with a new album slated for release in late 2025.
Daedric has collaborated with labelmates Celldweller, Fight The Fade, Andromida, Void Chapter, and Highsociety for a gamut of well received singles that have also pulled in more fans from across the world. After dropping a variety of singles, music videos, and collaborations Daedric has amassed nearly 500K followers across all platforms, scored interviews in Outburn’s issue #112, mentions on Louder Sound, Punk Rocker, Metal Hammer, Metal Injection Spotify’s official “Women Of Metal” playlist, and recognition from Cristina of Lacuna Coil in a Spotify Women of Metal roundtable discussion between Lacuna Coil, Spiritbox, and Halestorm. They’ve also gained notoriety as Daedric’s track “Abandon,” a collaborative effort with Andromida, found its way into the spotlight when Ubisoft chose it for inclusion in a promotional trailer for Rainbow Six Siege.
With a European tour ahead and new music in the works, 2026 looks to be another big year for Daedric.
