anno 1996On the 2nd of May 1996 DAWN made their first live appearance outside Sweden. The gig took place in Denmark and is remembered as one of the most furious and intense gigs ever performed by the band. 1996 also generated several opportunities for DAWN to tour, one of which was a 30 days' trip around Europe with CRADLE OF FILTH who wanted them as support on their upcoming 1996 European tour.
Unfortunately, DAWN had to decline due to several reasons, the most problematic being that drummer Karsten Larsson left the band for his other main band MITHOTYN. A new and more technical skinbasher was found in Jocke Pettersson (known from his work in among others THY PRIMORDIAL and NIDEN DIV. 187).
The band finally decided to cancel the tour, partly because new drummer Jocke Pettersson still was not familiar with the DAWN songs but also because the new mini-CD was not yet released.
The band decided to wait for another opportunity to be able to present some fresh material in their live set. Later that year the long awaited mini-CD "Sorgh Pa Svarte Vingar Flogh" was released and received fantastic reviews in established magazines and the underground alike. |
