DIRE's unmistakable brand of heavy music is born from and embodies these ideas.  Implementing a diverse range of musical styles while maintaining a sound that is definitively metal, they set the bar high with their debut full-length, 'Volume I', and after two EPs and another album, they've only raised it higher.  Blistering guitar solos, memorable metal riffs, and infectious melodies abound throughout DIRE's steadily-growing catalogue.
