Dawn Of Ashes: Farewell To The Flesh – new EP

American melodic black metal warriors DAWN OF ASHES have just released an EP entitled ‘Farewell To The Flesh’ which can be purchased digitally via iTunes, courtesy Metal Blade Records. The EP features three new tracks, ‘Farewell To The Flesh’, ‘Torture Device Part 2’, and ‘Blood-Shed With The 3rd Eye' (Instrumental)’. The additional five songs featured are remixes of songs from the band's previous album ‘Genocide Chapters’. (A very DAWN OF ASHES-esque album preview video is available for your discrete viewing on the band's YouTube channel here.) The eight tracks were recorded and mixed between Patrick Mundy, Volkar Kael, and Kristof Bathory at the home studios of Ross Robinson, Volkar Kael, and Kristof Bathory. Without further ado, join the vile and sacrifice yourself to DAWN OF ASHES via iTunes.

“In the darkest form of incubated evil, a symbol has been born to strike immense fear into the hearts of mortal weakness. Kristof Bathory, Volkar Kael, Bahemoth and Othuum, four vile forms that control a new era where nightmares become reality and where the sounds of the macabre shall emerge from a catastrophic symphony, have resurrected the sounds and visions of horror, hatred, and suffering that is spewed forth in the form of extreme horror metal that is DAWN OF ASHES; a name that was created to reflect upon the birth of death and failure. Now the plague has come to corrupt the flesh of man.”

DAWN OF ASHES, also known as the darkest form of incubated evil, has been formed in Los Angeles, California, in 2001. They first manifested their horrific intentions through 2005's ‘Sacred Fever’ demo, followed by two industrial music efforts ‘In The Acts Of Violence’ (2005) and ‘The Crypt Injection’ (2008), issued on COP International. In 2009, the abominable act signed a worldwide deal with Metal Blade and recorded their proper melodic black metal debut with producer Fred Archambault. The band, whose life ambition is to dominate the music scene with a sonic force so vile and evil the listener will be both entranced and terrorized by the sheer ferocity, has delivered its first blow through ‘Genocide Chapters’ in 2010. (Their bloody disgusting video for ‘Transformation Within Fictional Mutation’, directed by David H. Greathouse, can be found here):
