release notes:
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.
