Release Notes:
--------------
The beginning of Blind Before Dawn was in the last few months of 1998,
when the Manchester, UK gothic rock act SorrowS Of Isis split into two
factions. SorrowS had spent several years developing their own sound,
with Shotgun on guitar, and Davi on vocals with their backing sound
supplied by Vanity X. Just prior to the split - Davi had begun working
on a side project named The Annex Chamber. Which was heavily influenced
by Clan of Xymox and had no guitars or vocals at the time.
When SorrowS folded. The new band Blind Before Dawn took over, where
the previous band had failed to spread it's wings at crossing borders
of music. In 1999 Davi Lovatt now enlisted Shane Bostock as guitarist,
and the two of them wrote and released a 4 song sampler recorded at
home titled Flowers And The Filth. Though this didn't exactly ignite
the band's popularity- it did guarantee a few performances by Lov..
Shane left the band some months later and was replaced by Dan Maloney
on synths. A talented individual. With Maloney in the lineup- BBD
played a UK minitour with Waterglass, and began recording the album
Distance. Maloney left the band before the end of recording the
album.But has remained on good terms and may return for live
performances some day.
About the same time -Steven Cochran of Eloquent joined BBD on vocals,
and a short lived collaboration resulted in appearances with Steven and
Davi on several compilations in the USA. Before realizing they couldn't
carry on the partnership, so Davi went back to the main vocalist of BBD
again, and Steven has pursued Eloquent since.
After some time working solo, a new lineup emerged in 2003 featuring
Davi's club friend Johna Curtis on guitar. The band change direction -
having been influenced by the growing J -rock scene, and electro metal
bands like Rammstein. Curtis style brings a more trashy feel to the
band's style and imagery for live shows.
