Industrial/extreme metallers Dawn Of Ashes have dropped the first track, "Penumbra (feat. Suicide Commando)", from their upcoming album, Anatomy Of Suffering, slated for release on 20 March via Metropolis Records.
"'Penumbra' channels the raw intensity and atmosphere of early '00s dark electro-industrial music, evoking a powerful sense of nostalgia while remaining uncompromising in its aggression", explains Bathory of his alliance with Suicide Commando (the Belgian artist Johan Van Roy). "This single sets the tone for what lies ahead and serves as a fitting prelude for the destruction yet to come."
Dawn Of Ashes is currently on their US West Coast Tour 2026 (see the tour dates below). Link
