Formed in October 2015 in Skanderborg, Denmark, Wayward
Dawn plays intense and relentless death metal with a
massive sound barrier of double bass pedals, heavy
guitars played through classic Marshall amps, and a
vocal that goes from abysmal growls to rancid and rotten
screams.
With the release of their critically acclaimed debut
album "Soil Organic Matter" in 2018 and more than 40
gigs in Denmark and Germany, young death metal act
Wayward Dawn from Skanderborg, Denmark have slowly but
surely crawled their way up from the underground to
spread the word of their filthy death metal. After the
departure of their former vocalist Niklas Lykke
(LIVLØS), the band decided to continue as a four-piece
with guitarist Rasmus Johansen and bassist Kasper
Szupienko Petersen doing the vocal duties. The first gig
with new lineup at SPOT Festival in Aarhus received
praises, with Metal Hammer writing, " the festival's
metal coverage stretches out over the weekend, and draws
to a close with death metal upstarts Wayward Dawn, who
prove that the future of extreme metal is in good
hands." GAFFA Danmark ads, "considering the impression
they gave at SPOT Festival, Wayward Dawn is at the verge
of a major breakthrough".
Now Wayward Dawn return with their sophomore album
"Haven of Lies", set to be released via Mighty Music in
April. Recorded and produced by Jacob Bredahl at Dead
Rat Studio and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege
(Obituary, Nails, Full of Hell) the nine track long
album consist of 35 minutes of gritty, primal and
utterly nasty death metal. "Haven of Lies" drags you
down the deepest abyss of human depravity and assaults
the listener with downtuned guitars, grimy bass,
cavernous drums, and rotten growls and shrieks. The
lyrical theme throughout the record centers around human
tendencies during times of crisis. It questions our
ability to confront reality in order to cope with the
harshness of the situation, thus creating a haven of
lies.
