Vocalist Charles Elliott of Abysmal Dawn will join System Of A Down lead vocalist Serj Tankian for a very special orchestral performance in Elliott’s hometown of Los Angeles, CA on April 29! Tickets for the “Invocations” orchestral suite are now on sale HERE.
Elliott joins a diverse and prestigious group of musicians who were hand-selected by Tankian for this one-time event! Other collaborators include renowned tenor Brian Thorsett, world music singer Azam Ali, and sound healer Francesca Genco. Backing them will be the CSUN Symphony Orchestra, ethnic instrumentalists (including duduk master Jivan Gasparyan Jr.) and a full choir.
Regarding this special performance, Elliott says, “It’s an honor to be performing as vocalist with such a legendary and diverse musician like Serj. I am truly humbled to have been asked to be a part of such a cool and unique project. I’m ready to provide something ugly to some extremely beautiful and captivating music. Now I hope to see some headbangers there, wearing their best penguin suits and monocles!”
Abysmal Dawn is supporting the release of its 2022 EP, ‘Nightmare Frontier,’ which is out now!
Los Angeles death metal titans ABYSMAL DAWN will spread their death metal brutality on European soils September 2022.

The tour starts on the 6th of September and meets it’s end on 2nd of October 2022.
ABYSMAL DAWN comments: “So what can we say? This will be our second time touring in Europe, and the last time we played there was in 2015 with Death To All and Loudblast. Have we been long overdue to come back? Hell yes we are! To say we’re just ‘excited’ to return to your fine continent again with some killer bands, would be a huge understatement. So friends and metal brethren, come out and bang your fucking heads! Let’s make this a tour to remember.”
