Relapse Records will be releasing new ABYSMAL DAWN album, ‘Leveling The Plane Of Existence’, on February 1st, 2011 (February 7th in the UK, February 11th in Germany and Benelux,  February 14th in the rest of Europe). The album was produced by Mike Bear and mixed and mastered by Erik Rutan. The amazing artwork was created by Swedish artist Pär Olofsson – check out the process of making it here. Charles Elliott, band's guitarist and vocalist commented on the album: “After a series of set backs, illness, and going through a world of shit in our personal lives, we had no choice but to make this record our revenge and the defining moment for ABYSMAL DAWN. We can tell that this will be the record that the band will become known for. It’s a very varied, extreme, technical, and melodic record and I can promise you that no one will be disappointed.”

Hailing from Los Angeles, California, ABYSMAL DAWN plays an aggressive mix of modern death metal. The band was formed in 2003 by Charles Elliott (guitars/vocals), Jamie Boulanger (guitars), and Terry Barajas (drums). In 2005 the band began to work on what would become their first full-length, ‘From Ashes’, a brutal and technical album that earned them a remarkable international press response. In 2008 ABYSMAL DAWN signed a deal with Relapse Records, making ‘Programmed To Consume’ the band's label debut.
