Dawn of Existence, the enigmatic blackened melodic death metal duo known for their unapologetic approach and thematic depth, unveil their latest masterpiece, “Ancient Arts,” released on May 5, 2023. This highly anticipated release promises to take listeners on a journey through the realms of the occult, cosmology, history, and fantasy, delivering a ritualistic experience like no other.
Since their inception in 2017, Dawn of Existence has been pushing the boundaries of melodic death metal, blending vicious brutality with elegant melodies to create a sound that is both haunting and captivating. With “Ancient Arts,” the band delves deeper into their thematic explorations, weaving a tapestry of eldritch tales and arcane mysteries.
The album’s first single, “Marble Garden,” sets the stage for the dark and immersive journey that awaits. Inspired by a lost golden age of civilization, the track explores a world where magic and science coexist, painting a vivid picture of a society on the brink of collapse.
As the album unfolds, listeners will be transported through a series of otherworldly landscapes and harrowing tales. From the Orwellian nightmare of “Toe Up” to the cosmic fury of “Satan Spacelord,” each track offers a glimpse into the darker corners of the human psyche and the mysteries of the universe.
“Mystic Serpent” beckons with its seductive rhythms and occult imagery, while “Škoda ‘14” brings the listener crashing back to earth with its visceral depiction of war and chaos. “The Hierophant” challenges convention and tradition, while “Tides” explores the dualistic nature of mankind.
The album culminates with “Meet Me At The Stake,” a defiant anthem that confronts the hypocrisy and persecution faced by pagans, witches, and practitioners of the occult throughout history. It’s a rallying cry for those who dare to challenge the status quo and embrace their true selves.
With “Ancient Arts,” Dawn of Existence has crafted a work of unparalleled intensity and depth. From its haunting melodies to its ferocious rhythms, this album is sure to leave a lasting impression on all who dare to listen.
Dawn of Existence is ready to unleash “Ancient Arts” upon the world, and there’s no doubt that this record will leave its black mark upon the masses.
