anno 1995In 1995 DAWN started working their way back from the involuntary break caused by Fredrik Söderberg's accident. Throughout the year they played some gigs but most of their time was devoted to writing new songs. They had originally planned to work with Dan Swanö once again but he was heavily booked and they chose to record in Abyss with Peter Tägtgren (also known from HYPOCRISY and PAIN).
At this time, Abyss was not as established as it is today and up to this point DAWN had used the same producer for all their recordings except the very first demo.
Still, the band saw the change of recording facilities as a chance to take the DAWN sound to even further heights and in winter 1995 they recorded the mini-CD "Sorgh Pa Svarte Vingar Flogh" which contained three brand new songs as well as a cover of INFERNÄL MÄJESTY's "Night Of The Living Dead" (original recording to be found at the album "None Shall Defy" from 1986).
Fredrik Söderberg had been a fan of INFERNÄL MÄJESTY since their days of glory back in the 80's and felt that this was a good way of paying homage to this very much underrated band who in many aspects were light years ahead of other bands at the time.
The other three songs of the mini-CD were built from the same elements as DAWN's previous offerings but showed an even more epic and dark side in the song writing and arrangement development. |
