Necropolis Blastbeats, tremolo riffs, requisite apocalyptic lyrical themes. Dawn is a first tier band in the genre, marrying blasting tempos with positively sinister tremolo melodies with the intention of pulverizing the listener and drawing them into a world of misanthropy and depression. The production is a wall of ambience and white noise, remarkable for its mixture of clarity and power. Dawn thrives on repetition. Each riff is repeated over and over, creating a trance-like listening experience.
Songs are fairly long and usually built around three or four riffs.
This album is great for a quick twenty minutes of apocalypse, but there's just not enough color or variety to warrant a complete listening session. If they could just condense their ideas and develop a more substantial compositional style, they'd be a truly great band. The Knell and the World 2. To Achieve the Ancestral Powers 4. Ride The Wings of Pestilence 5.
