Born during the autumn of 2020 and launched in 2021, Daedric immediately resonated with fans in the modern metal world. Featuring vocalist/writer/artist Kristyn Hope working alongside producer Geoff Rockwell, Daedric crafts its signature sound by mining elements from every corner of the heavy music spectrum and combining them with soaring, emotive vocals and modern electronic production.

 

The project’s name draws inspiration from the open world role-playing games, The Elder Scrolls, which provided the entire theme for Daedric’s fist album Mortal, that was released by FiXT in 2023 with critical acclaim.

 

The follow-up effort, As the Light Left, was released in 2025 amidst the band’s first full North American tour, supporting Danish-Swedish metal act, Vola, with a second North American tour following shortly after in February of 2026.

 

With a European tour ahead and new music in the works, 2026 looks to be another big year for Daedric.
