anno 1997Come 1997, DAWN dedicated all their time to rehearsing and writing new songs for their second full length album. The change of drummers proved to be beneficial as the new recruitment Jocke Petterson's drumming allowed for more intricate details in the songs, especially when it came to arrangements and technical mastery.
DAWN once again entered Abyss Studios and during two hectic weeks in April finished the recording and mixing of their second full length album entitled "Slaughtersun (Crown Of The Triarchy)". Mastering took place at Cutting Room in Stockholm and having completed this, the band knew that they had produced an outstanding landmark in Swedish Death/Black Metal.
The songs were even longer and more original than before and the production the best the band had ever enjoyed up to this point in their career. DAWN also decided to shoot their first video and finally chose the opening track "The Knell And The World" from their as yet unreleased second album "Slaughtersun (Crown Of The Triarchy)".
Shooting sessions took place in December 1997 and the video was edited by David Palser, known, among other things, for his work with Emperor, Immortal etc. 1997 also marked a change of location: main member and founder Fredrik Söderberg moved to Stockholm as did drummer Jocke Pettersson.
Jocke started working in Tomas Skogsberg's well known Studio Sunlight which unfortunately crippled his possibilities to continue playing drums in DAWN on a full time basis. Fredrik Söderberg made the decision to keep the band going and started the search for a new drummer. |
