 DARK HOUND‘s Dawning was released on January 19. Stream and/or purchase it at darkhound.bandcamp.com/album/dawning
Following in the sizable footsteps of their 2014 self-titled debut and 2015 EP Oceans, Tennessee’s resident Heavy Metal torchbearers have pulled out all the stops with Dawning. Eschewing genre-blending pablum and trend-hopping futility, the new album finds DARK HOUND proudly display influences from the likes of MEGADETH, IRON MAIDEN, and TESTAMENT without falling victim to uninspired mimicry. Rather, Dawning lands repeated punches to the cranium and leaves memorable marks with its compelling compositions in a way that is familiar, yet refreshing and even unique. Put simply, this is well-written, muscular U.S. Metal in all its fiery glory!
“Like Megadeth? Like King Diamond? Like music that is just pure metal with no unnecessary bull? If you answered yes to all of these questions then you are sure to like Dark Hound.”
– Skulls N Bones
“Inspired by early thrash bands like Testament & Megadeth, Dark Hound have crafted a bouncy & thrilling modern metal record.”
– Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life
“Dawning is a gritty, always charging kind of release that mashes the pedal through the floor, never to look back.”
– Cadaver Garden
“Melodic thrash with a 90’s groove metal veneer that teeters between alternative metal [and] progressive thrash. One of the more successfully melodic thrash-related albums I’ve heard in a few years.”
– Grizzly Butts
“Firm heavy metal with a progressive twist. The inventive and sometimes sinister sounds heard on ‘Dawning’ are quite cool.”
– Lords of Metal
“The band’s sound is a magnetic mix of flavours; heavy, alternative, and groove metal as prevalent as more progressive and voracious flavours.”
– The RingMaster Review
“Pantera meets Progressive Metal comes to mind.”
– Metal Underground.at
“A well-groomed Melodic Thrash disc.”
– Hellfire Magazin
“The album brings forth a natural flair that is welcome to behold. Dawning brings a pure heavy metal flavor to the proceedings.”
– Heavy Music Headquarters
