When looking at the state of death metal today, Dawn Of Demise differs quite a bit from the latest “trends”: speed, technicality, sweeps, tapping, gravity blasts, etc. So far, the band has released five LPs of bone-crushing heaviness that all are in the vein of US death metal with added elements from the world of slam. Kevin Muller (ex-Suffocation, Pyrexia live vocalist) once summed up the band best: “(Dawn Of Demise) are New York death metal…from Denmark”. Having recently welcomed back original member Jakob Nyholm, the quintet feel stronger than ever. Armed with upcoming album Feed My Absurdity, they’re ready to crush once again. Produced by Tue Madsen (Meshuggah, The Haunted, etc), fans can expect 10 tracks of Danish death metal done the Dawn Of Demise way: heavy and groovy, with good songwriting and catchy riffs that stick in your head. “Having not released anything for almost 7 years, the band was more than ready to get the ball rolling again,” bassist Bjørn Jensen comments. “Jakob Nyholm (guitar) has returned to the fold. He was in the band at the very beginning playing on the demo and on the first album. His return to Dawn Of Demise has truly revitalized the passion for creating some heavy death metal. With ‘Feed My Absurdity’, the band feels like they are back stronger than ever. If you are into the band’s older material, you probably won’t be too surprised when you give the album a spin – it’s still heavy, groovy and catchy US style death metal with elements of slam and so on, but there are a few surprises here and there. Production-wise the album is more ‘real’ this time round, more organic sounding, more energetic – kind of a step away from the more modern approach to producing metal albums. The album is first and foremost a collective band effort. Everyone pitched in and every song has a bit of all members.” Dawn Of Demise line-up: Scott Jensen – vocals Jakob Haagen Nyholm – guitar Martin K.
