‘Ascension Gate’

A hurricane of blastbeat drums, fiercest riffs and modern interpretations of some Swedish oldschool grooves: DAWN OF DISEASE have rumbled their way to the top as the heavy weights of Germany’s Death Metal scene and have set the release of their brand new album ‘Ascension Gate‘ on August 11^st via Napalm Records!

After the band just unleashed a first appetizer with the track ‘Perimortal‘ [ check it out HERE! ], DAWN OF DISEASE are now premiering a brand new video for the song ‘Akephalos‘ – watch and dive into their heavy sound right below:

Says vocalist Tomasz Wisniewski:
„‘Akephalos’ unleashes pure energy and takes no prisoners. It represents the more brutal side of our new album without disregarding some catchy melodies. The vocals go beyond the limit while the drums oscillate between insane bludgeoning and catchy grooves. The melodic guitar part at the end of the song completes this diversified atmospheric journey. Akephalos rise!“

Since 2003 DAWN OF DISEASE have rumbled their way to the top as heavy weights of Germany’s Death Metal scene. Hailing from Osnabrück, DAWN OF DISEASE indulge some old school Swedish groove and raspy riffs: Bloodbath and At The Gates provide modern inspiration for aural inclinations of the band. However, their newest production won’t enjoy the well-tried manginess of long forgotten Death Metal days: The brand new album titled ‘Ascension Gate’ goes a different way with enthralling guitar work, enchanting management of melodies and brilliant tone. A hurricane of blastbeat drumming and the gigantic voice of Tomasz Wisniewski spark a fire that forges their spirit.

Now DAWN OF DISEASE unveil first and hotly anticipated details about their upcoming and fourth studio album ‘Ascension Gate’, which is set to be released on August 11st 2017 with Napalm Records!

Says the band: „’Ascension Gate’ was created and given birth within a comparatively short lapse of time. Thus it embodies pure energy and raw intensity. In comparison to our former releases our fourth full-length album is different in many ways as it modifies and expanses the musical elements we used to employ before. Besides the typical Dawn of Disease trademarks you will find more elaborate melodies that carry the listener through an atmospheric journey. Inspired by gloomy autumn days and the sheer endless darkness of winter ‘Ascension Gate’ adds more depth and catchiness to our sound than ever before without neglecting a huge portion of blastbeating brutality. Regardless of this dark and melancholic leitmotif we can promise you one thing: ‘Ascension Gate’ will bring you a very hot summer!“

The tracklist of ‘Ascension Gate’ will read as follows:

01. Passage
02. Perimortal
03. Leprous Thoughts
04. Beneath The Waters
05. Ascension Gate
06. Akephalos
07. Fleshless Journey
08. The Growing Emptiness
09. Lucid
10. Mundus Inversus

After monstrous records such as ‘Legends Of Brutality’ , ‘Crypts Of The Unrotten’ and most recently their epic ‘Worship The Grave’ released just last year, DAWN OF DISEASE set a new standard for the expanding Swedish Death Metal scene with ‘Ascension Gate’ – their fourth hail of bombs full of volatile riff power. This is the new era of modern Death Metal!
