About this episode

The episode explores the underappreciated Swedish band Dawn and their contributions to the melodic black/death metal scene.

After much anticipation, innumerable references on the show, and a shocking number of technical issues, we have arrived with an episode that The Black Metal Guy has been threatening for years. For those unfamiliar, Dawn is one of the finest and also one of the most underappreciated bands of the Swedish 90s melodic black/death metal scene, and one very near and dear to The Black Metal Guy's heart. Join us as we investigate the band's two full-length records and discover what makes them far more than merely another band in the established style. 0:00:00 - Intro/Background of Dawn 0:15:08 - Nær Sólen gar Niþer for Evogher (Necropolis Records, Jan 6 1994) 1:29:34 - INTERLUDE - Taake - “Hordaland doedskvad I,” fr.
