Upon releasing the album, the band once again returned to their hectic touring schedule, including their first national headline tour with Codeseven, a then-unsigned Strata and either STUN or Woven supporting. Dredg made music videos for two of the album's tracks, "Same Ol' Road" and "Of The Room". Completed in May 2002, the album was widely available on the internet before being released on October 8, 2002. The band used three producers, Ron Saint Germain, Tim Palmer and Jim Scott, on the record, adding another layer of diversity to the album. The majority of the album was recorded at Skywalker Ranch. When the band began writing material for the new album, they secluded themselves in the deserts around Palm Desert. Several songs on the album even included lyrics taken directly from the letters. As they had done with the liner notes of Leitmotif, Dredg chose not to include the lyrics instead, they printed letters sent to them by people suffering from sleep paralysis. Initially intended to revolve around Salvador Dalí's Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bumblebee around a Pomegranate One Second Before Awakening, the band expanded the focus to include sleep paralysis after learning of Dalí's own influences. Like its predecessor, El Cielo was a concept album. El Cielo (2002–2004)Īfter signing to Interscope Records, the band began work on their major label debut, El Cielo. With the re-release of Leitmotif, Dredg toured nationally and internationally in support of the record with bands such as Alien Ant Farm, Pressure 4-5, the Apex Theory, Taproot, Deadsy and Onesidezero. As part of the deal, Leitmotif was re-released by Interscope on September 11, 2001. In February 2001, Dredg was offered a deal by Interscope Records. The band began sending out a demo tape to several labels with four new songs intended for their next album, "Of the Room", "Redrawing the Island Map", "Running Through Propellers" and "The Papal Insignia". Over the next two years, Dredg toured mostly within California, slowly expanding their fan base.

Written by Roulette, the band had planned to release a movie of the story however, upon the death of the lead actor, the project was scrapped. The story was included in the liner notes, in lieu of the actual lyrics. In May 1998, Dredg independently released their first full-length, Leitmotif, a concept album about a man traveling the world to cure his moral disease. With the release, Dredg slowly built a name for themselves in the Bay Area, as well as on the East Coast, such as in Boston and New York. Additionally, the track "Kayasuma" shares its title with the name of the shaman in Leitmotif's liner notes for "Lechium". It includes the group's first instrumental track, "Orph". In 1997, they released what would become the early stages of their musical transition, the Orph EP. Currently, very little information has ever been released about these demos. In 1996, Dredg recorded and released their first demos of original material, the Conscious EP, garnering them exposure as far away as Boston.
