Dawn of Ashes is an American Industrial/Extreme Metal band formed in 2001, their name created to represent ‘The beginning of the end’.
Singer and music composer Kristof Bathory started DOA as a purely Dark Electronic Act, influenced by various forms of Extreme Metal with a controversial theme, but in 2009 he embraced and made a huge leap into the Extreme Metal world, eventually fusing both styles to find the perfect hybrid of the most aggressive and angry style of dark music possible.
Subsequently, every DOA album has taken the emotional state of Bathory and plunged further into the depths of anger and pure aggression.
Dawn of Ashes made three albums for Metropolis Records in the late 2010s, having previously recorded for Metal Blade and subsequently for Artoffact Records. They have just released a single entitled ‘Her Lethal Injection’ for the latter, but have today announced a return to Metropolis for their next studio album due out in early 2024.
