The Philadelphia based
Dawnbringer was first conceived in late 1995 as a one-man project by John
Weston but has since then grown into a full line-up band. Except from being
Americans the members of the band are also playing death metal with an unusual
musical approach that reminds very much of more traditional bands like Iron
Maiden and Motörhead. Generally their music is not as fast as most other
American death metal bands like Cannibal Corpse and Morbid Angel but relying
more on melody and rhythm, something that succeeds pretty good. There are also
several acoustic interludes in their music but they don´t sound that similar
to a progressive band like Opeth. It´s really hard to describe the Dawnbringer
sound without getting lost in meaningless comparisons with bands they do not
sound like. The fast and thrashier songs are the best on the album with "All
Hell Broke Loose" and "Heart Particle" as the given masterpieces and two
amazing songs that will not be forgotten. Don´t expect impressive death growls
when listening to Dawnbringer because the vocals are extremely dark and deep
growls that can be very hard to hear without having the lyrics in front of
you. A good release from the band, not overly impressing but still worth
buying if you´re a fan of melodic death/thrash metal. The album was recorded
at the Audible Images Studio in late 1998 and early 1999. Dark and sinister it
is and so it should be.
