Los Angeles death metal titans ABYSMAL DAWN will be releasing their new EP ‘Nightmare Frontier‘ on February 4, 2022 via Season of Mist! In conjunction with the release, the band is now sharing a brand new video for the re-recording of ‘Blacken the Sky‘!
ABYSMAL DAWN frontman/founding member Charles Elliott comments: “When it came time to record this EP we started discussing re-recording an older track. After a bit of back and forth, we all ended up voting for “Blacken The Sky”. That was actually the first song I ever wrote for Abysmal Dawn, and it seemed sort of fitting to update it a little for a new era. Enjoy!”
Pre-orders for ‘Nightmare Frontier’ are available HERE. The singles and full EP can be pre-saved across all streaming services HERE.
American death metal masters Abysmal Dawn are back! After a six-year gap, the Los Angeles-based outfit and Season of Mist hereby present Phylogenesis. Not that Abysmal Dawn have laid low since the release of 2014’s lauded Obsolescence full-length. Far from it. They toured North America four times and hit Europe and South America for the first time. Meanwhile, founding member Charles Elliott opened his studio, Tastemaker Audio, to accelerate Abysmal Dawn’s own recording needs, as well to act as a bridge to other bands in need of a knowledgeable and relatable audio technician.
But the road to Phylogenesis wasn’t an easy one. Besides work-horsing it throughout the U.S., Canada, Sweden, Germany, the UK, Brazil, Chile, and beyond in support of Obsolescence, Elliott and crew managed through some of the lowest points in Abysmal Dawn’s career. Internal strife, administrative burdens, musical differences, and motivation all had their various ways with the Californians. Yet, from the darkest depths, they prevailed, heralding a new chapter in the group’s storied history. Indeed, Phylogenesis is Abysmal Dawn’s rebirth!
