ORDER HERE: https://lnk.to/DawnRayd DAWN RAY’D return with To Know The Light - as a reinvigorated version of themselves, and presenting a reimagining of exactly what black metal is and can be in the future. With no interest in adhering to what is commonly accepted as black metal, DAWN RAY'D made a record that encompasses much of what is great about the genre - whilst incorporating components that set them comfortably on the peripheries of a scene mired by its own self imposed rules. Whilst much of the thematic content is rooted in rage and resistance, there are also elements of positivity to be found throughout. Citing influences as genre-diverse as Chumbawumba, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Propagandhi, Lankum, and Crass, it is evident that the message is still as important as the music. The thread that runs through all these bands - and many others - is one that allows for creative expression around common themes of class struggle, freedom and resistance Consider this an invitation to disregard preconceptions about DAWN RAY’D and the genre(s) within which they reside. Consider To Know The Light as not just a rallying cry but a sincere offering of a new way of looking at the world. Directed by Joe Guppy/JGVISUALS Dawn Ray’d is: Simon Barr - Vocals, violin, synths Fabian Devlin - Guitars, vocals Matthew Broadley - Drums and percussion, harmonium, piano
